Name what you feel beyond “fine” or “bad.” Tap a slice, adjust intensity, and build a small stack of feelings—with prompts to journal.
Based on Robert Plutchik’s eight primary emotions. You can hold more than one feeling at a time.
Outer slices = primary emotions · use Mild / Moderate / Strong for nuance
Most people label feelings with a handful of words—“ stressed,” “fine,” “anxious.” Psychologist Robert Plutchik proposed eight primary emotions that combine and intensify like colors on a wheel: joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, anger, and anticipation.
Research on emotional intelligence shows that naming emotions precisely (“apprehension” vs. “terror”) helps regulate them and choose better responses—not suppression.
Static PDF wheels cannot show intensity, opposites, or blends (dyads like love = joy + trust). Many apps require sign-up or reduce everything to emoji.
This tool lets you stack up to three feelings, see adjacent blends, and get a journal prompt per intensity—built for hourly mood check-ins in Hourly Journal.
Ask: “What am I feeling right now? And what else?” Tap the closest slice, set intensity, add to your list. If two feelings sit side by side on the wheel, read the blend. Copy a prompt into your journal—voice or text.
It is Plutchik-inspired—same eight primaries, intensity levels, opposites, and classic dyad labels—adapted for interactive journaling on the web.
Yes. Mixed feelings are normal. Add up to three on the wheel; adjacent pairs may form a blend such as love or optimism.
No. Fear, anger, and sadness are signals—not flaws. The wheel helps you listen and respond—not replace one feeling with another.
