How to use the Emotion Wheel
The emotions that we experience can have nuances. For instance, what we might describe as "fear", can actually be a feeling of apprehension or intimidation. 

Start by identifying the main emotion in the middle of the wheel. Today, as I am writing this, I am feeling what I think is "Afraid". When I continue to evaluate the "Afraid" section, I realize that it's actually more "Worried" and "Insecure". Hmmmmm.. worried and insecure about what?

Worried that this content is too wordy... worried that no one will get it... worried that it will seem too complicated...insecure that I won't have done as good a job as that web developer that I didn't hire.... 
Let's start there... /-:

Once you have identified the emotion, now you can start to balance it for yourself. Sometimes simply being able to identify it helps your body to find it's own balance. However, if you find that these emotions are chronic or more significant to you than some worry about a web page, (ie: trauma, chronic anxiety or depression and unwanted thoughts) then it's time to start balancing them!

I can teach you how.
