  • Emotion wheels can be a useful tool to help develop your emotional granularity. Free downloads and instructions at https://humansystems.co/emotionwheels/ 
  • Practice responding instead of reacting. Pause between the stimulus and the reaction to notice what you're feeling, and choose how to respond. Try different methods to build space between what you're feeling so it doesn't overwhelm you, such as breathing or visualization (i.e. passing clouds).
  • Focusing meditation is a tool for connecting with emotions and building space to receive them. Learn more at the International Focusing Institute: https://focusing.org/ 
  • Want more? Look up “Emotional Intelligence” or "Emotional granularity" for more tools and suggestions.

    Kathleen Perry
     
    Some people like a clean blue 
    sky
    For some it’s different and I’ll tell you 
    why
    I like fluffy white clouds floating as
    in the deep blue sea
    Making all kinds of figures as
    animals looking down at me
    Sometimes it’s a bear or
    an angel up there
    Sometimes sleeping or
    floating without care
    Sun’s brilliant light
    pierces through
    Joyous figures interspersed
    with blue
    Thank you dear God for your
    gentle love –
    So reflected in the glorious sky
    above
