      What Are Feelings?

       “I feel great!” “I feel mad.” “I feel scared!” Just what are

      these oceans of emotions washing over you these days?

      Emotions are reactions you have to things that happen

      around you, and you use “feeling” words to describe them.

      Because the events you react to are constantly changing, it’s

      natural that your emotions would change, too! (That’s why

      the word “emotion” has the word “motion” built right into it.)

      You can be soaring to the top of the world one minute and

      feel stuck in the mud the next. Sometimes you may not even

      be sure how you feel at all.

      The better you become at identifying your feelings, the more

      you’ll learn about yourself. People often use the words on the

      following page to describe their feelings. Make note of any

      feelings you remember having in the last week.

      Some days I feel happy one minute and like crying

      the next. I continually get mad when people ask me

      about my day, and I often blow up at my mom. What

      is happening? Why do I do this?

       Your Mood-O-Meters

      Each feeling you have can be strong, mild, or somewhere

      in between. For each situation, write down where on the

      mood-o-meter your feelings would register. If you have

      feelings that aren’t listed here, create a new mood-o-

      meter.

      “I’m boiling

      over!”

      “I feel

      trouble

      bubbling up.”

      “How
