Did you hear something funny or silly kind of feeling like all laughing and funny is awesome. And what you need to do is savor that moment.

I am so excited today. We're going to do some videos with Alison Jones.

What is FeelWise? Feel wise is a gamified emotion regulation tool.

"So today, I was talking to Allison, and she just learned about this emotion, which is called 'demoralized.'"

"You're like, 'Wait, what is this emotion?'"

So, Alison wants to talk about a couple of emotions. I think this is interesting.

Let's talk about this feeling, 'anticipation.' Have you ever felt anticipation? What does it feel like? Excitement.

If you're angry, there might be a variety of different things you could feel that are a little more granular than just angry, that are in this category of being angry. So if you feel angry, think about maybe you're confused, disturbed, exasperated, frustrated, aggressive, mad, vicious, hateful, various, grumpy, or annoyed.

Think you don't feel anything at all? Maybe you have apathy or you're tired.

If you feel any of these, you might be in the category of contempt. Contempt has a lot of different angles to it: arrogant, vengeful, jealous, ruthless, greedy, coercive, stubborn, cynical, smug, blaming, offended, bitter—all under the category of contempt.

Are you frequently skeptical or distrustful of others, especially their intentions? Maybe you find yourself dismissing or discounting the sincerity or genuineness of others.

This category of emotions is a more detailed version of disgust. Maybe you feel aversion, nauseated, embarrassed, undermined, loathing, mortified, guilty, shame, humiliated, revulsion, or anguish.

Have a lot of energy? Or maybe you feel exhilarated, explosive, enthusiastic, just excited, vibrant, lively, upbeat, engaged, stimulated, perky, or stirred.

Feel afraid? This is my category of emotions that are all related to fear.

I don't know, I think this is my favorite category: humor. Maybe you're feeling kind of charming, or you're bemused.

It might be my favorite category: 'joy' or 'thrilled'. This is a category of emotions related to joy: happy, wonderful, elated, festive, glee, pleased, delighted, glad, carefree, and lighthearted.

What a sweet category! This is love.

Novel is a feeling you get when you're experiencing something you haven't experienced before. Maybe it feels completely new. How do you know if you're feeling that way?

This is a collection of emotions that are a category of positive interest: sentimental, focused, liking, anticipation, intrigued, enlightened, epiphany, craving, flow, surprised, and mind blown.

Pride is a word you hear a lot. Maybe you feel pride, but you could also feel triumphant, courageous, victorious, affluent, pioneering, edified, allegiance, a sense of resolve, moral, strong, intelligent, or empowered.

This is the grouping of emotions in the category of sadness. There are all kinds of different aspects of sadness.

Now, apathy isn't normally one of the categories of emotions you see in an emotion wheel, but I think it's important, so I'm putting it in mind. Next, let's talk about sadness.

Here's another emotion that's part of many emotional models anger. And if you're feeling anger, it's diametrically opposed to feeling good energy.

Let's organize the emotions. If you don't feel anything at all, you might think you feel apathy.

And finally, in our organization of emotions, I'm putting contempt. Contempt and anger might be the same thing, but their contempt has an element of it.

Disgust, another big emotional category. And it's not possible while you're feeling disgust to feel love at the same time.

Fear is a big bucket of emotions. It's pretty much recognized as one of the core feelings: fight, flight, or freeze.

I love this one: disgust. What kind of mindset could you adopt to snap yourself out of feeling disgust?

This is a really interesting part of my model on emotions. So it doesn't just stop at the negative.

Anger is a strong negative emotion. What kind of mindset can you use to neutralize that anger and shift your thinking after you've processed it?

We talked about anger and gratitude. If you're feeling positively energetic, excited, more intensely positive, and just positive interest, but really strong positive energy, apply that to kindness.

Got really happy feelings in your heart? Sure, out of disgust.

Fear is a big one. Fear takes a while to process because you gotta calm down first.

Let's talk about sadness. If I'm feeling sad, I need a mindset that will help me get into a positive mental space.

So the mindset that we talked about with fear, to snap out of it, was optimism. But let's say you're feeling joy.

Contempt; we do this one a lot, maybe unconsciously. Contempt is that judging of others, that reaction that just spins you up.

Okay, last one: contempt. We talked about acceptance and
