How to Use

Step 1: Start

Start with something that happened

Think about a moment from your day that brought up feelings—big or small.

Step 2: Identify

Pick the emotion that fits

Look at the categories or cards and choose the feelings that match your experience.

Step 3: Reflect

Think, talk, or write about your feelings

Write or share what happened, how you felt, and what you needed.

Step 4: Regulate

Try a simple technique that helps

Use a mindfulness technique to calm your body and settle your mind.

Step 5: Mindset

Use the mindset linked to your emotion family

Each emotion family has its own mindset—like hope, gratitude, openness, or compassion. Practice viewing the world through a new mindset lens.

Step 6: Connect

Use your emotional insight to understand others and grow your relationships

Share your feelings, listen to someone else, and notice what might be happening for them too.

Using the steps above helps you show care, communicate honestly, and build stronger, healthier connections with the people in your life.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How do I know which card to start with?

You can start anywhere. Think about something that happened, then look through the cards and pick the feelings that match. There is no wrong choice—your body and your brain will guide you toward the right cards.

Will this work for kids who struggle with talking about feelings?

Yes. Many kids—especially neurodivergent kids—find it easier to point to a picture than to find the right words. The images give them a safe, simple way to show how they feel without pressure.

Do I need training to use this with my family, class, or clients?

No training is needed. Each card and wheel is designed to be clear and easy to use. You can start right away with a game, a check-in, or a quick reflection about what happened.

Can I use this with groups, like in a classroom or therapy session?

Yes. FeelWise works very well in groups. You can use the wheels for class discussions, morning meetings, therapy groups, or team check-ins. The visuals help everyone stay on the same page.

What if someone feels more than one emotion at the same time?

That’s not just normal—it’s one of the biggest benefits of using FeelWise. Most of us don’t realize how many emotions we feel at once. FeelWise helps you see your full “feelstack,” so you can understand yourself better, make sense of what happened, and choose a healthier way to respond.
