STEPS

  1. Notice what you are experiencing. Find the best-fitting name for it on THE FEELINGS WHEEL.

  2. Focus on the bodily sensations and keep repeating to yourself slowly: “I’m feeling X, I’m feeling X, I’m feeling X.”

  3. The goal is not to completely eliminate the emotion, but to make it manageable.
