On Labeling Emotions

Research suggests that the simple act of putting your feelings into words lowers your psychological distress. So practice using as many descriptive words as you can to identify how you’re feeling. If you’re stressed, try to tease out what additional feelings that brings up. Are you overwhelmed? Anxious? Fearful? What else?

This labeling can take any form. It can be talking to someone, writing it down, working with your therapist, or self-talk about how you’re feeling.

To help you build emotional self-awareness,  psychologists at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence have developed a free app called ‘How We Feel’, which has 144 different words to describe your feelings (such as “excluded,” “lonely,” “engaged” and “glum”) as well as their definitions.
