Words of Wellness are resources for students to access and utilize to improve and maintain their overall wellness.<\/p>\n<p>While the Wellness Center\u2019s Counseling Services are available Monday \u2013 Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for counseling, consultation, and referral needs, we wanted to share additional resources that may be beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>Today, May 13, we will be focusing on emotions. Emotions surround us day in and day out.\u00a0 Sometimes our emotions are fleeting and only appear for a short period of time, while at other points, we find them lingering around and even seeping into various areas of our lives.\u00a0 Emotions can guide our behavior and decisions. They can also give us feedback about our perception of a situation or experience as positive or negative. The following resources include information that allow us to recognize and identify our emotions, as well as ways to manage and process these emotions.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>Learning About Emotions<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Emotion Reference Sheet<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Emotions Reference Sheet handout is designed to help recognize and talk about feelings. This handout is a simple but helpful resource that presents a list of emotions, along with common signs and behaviors that can help to identify them. This handout is a great reference when you are having difficulty describing how you are feeling. It also helps you connect an emotion to a behavior.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therapistaid.com\/worksheets\/emotions-language-signs-behaviors.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Emotions Reference Sheet<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The Wise Mind<br \/>\n<\/strong>Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) uses the concept of a reasonable, emotional, and wise mind to describe a person&#8217;s thoughts and behaviors. The reasonable mind is driven by logic, the emotional mind is driven by feelings, and wise mind is a middle-ground between the two.<\/p>\n<p>In DBT, clients will learn skills to use their wise mind and better manage their behavior.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therapistaid.com\/worksheets\/wise-mind.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wise Mind<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wheel of Emotions<br \/>\n<\/strong>Plutchik&#8217;s wheel of emotions identifies eight basic emotions including joy, trust, fear, surprise, disgust, anger, and anticipation. Combinations of these basic emotions result in advanced emotions, such as optimism, love, submission, awe, disappointment, remorse, contempt, and aggression. This Wheel of Emotions diagram beautifully depicts the relationships between each emotion in the form of a spectrum.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therapistaid.com\/worksheets\/wheel-of-emotions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wheel of Emotions<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>List of emotions<br \/>\n<\/strong>Sometimes, you just need a long List of Emotions.
