Hokuma Karimova is a Mindset and Success Coach and Environment and Social Expert. In this article she explains how to use American psychologist Dr. Robert Plutchik’s wheel of emotions. Emotions influence our actions in five main ways: Emotion Component, Action Tendency Component, Appraisal Component, Motor Component, and Physiological Component. Many emotions are experienced when going through a passage and since these emotions effect our actions, it is important to become familiar with your current emotions and objectify them so you can shift them towards emotions you’d rather experience. This article also creates three links and tools (Clear and brief: emotions, Wheel of Emotion (link), Emotions in business) for leaders/managers to use. Towards the end there is a TED talk from Alan Watkins titled “why you feel what you feel”. It is about 20 minutes long and does a great job at explaining how a passage/tragedy/hardship can enable you to find your deeper purpose and meaning in life. It also explains how to handle the many emotions experienced along with external influences that occur in life. An example on how to use the wheel: before a dinner party or similar social event, a human might feel “apprehensive” because they want to feel like they belong to a particular group. By understanding and labeling this emotion, the person might be less hard on themselves for feeling a bit nervous. Link: https://positivepsychology.com/emotion-wheel/
