Wheel of Emotions
The Wheel of Emotions, created by psychologist Robert Plutchik, is a model that helps individuals understand and map their inner emotional landscape. Emotions are universal and found in all cultures throughout time. They serve various functions, helping us navigate our inner world and interact with others. Our emotional system can expand outward, influencing the social field around us, either positively or negatively.
In the context of compassionate systems, the Wheel of Emotions can be integrated to foster emotional intelligence and empathy. Compassionate systems aim to create environments where individuals can connect deeply with their emotions and those of others, promoting understanding and compassion. By using tools like the Wheel of Emotions, individuals can better navigate their emotional experiences, leading to more empathetic and supportive interactions within their communities.
