In the last week, how many times have you stopped to think about what emotions you were feeling? Do you feel confused and don't know what you're feeling? Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions is a visual and colorful representation of the emotions that people can experience. First, let me define an emotion. This is the result of a complex process. To experience an emotion, there must be a situation that causes it (an objective factor) that you later interpret and evaluate. The result of this interpretation is a feeling (subjective experience). The physiological and behavioral changes inherent in this process occur in parallel. Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions The modern world is chaotic. Consequently, your daily routine becomes increasingly dizzying and you tend to procrastinate on fundamental aspects such as self-care, such as stopping to think about how you feel. Generally, you want to be happy and feel good about yourself. However, have you ever wondered what it really means to be okay or not? Plutchik's Emotion Wheel categorizes the most commonly experienced emotions, dividing them by color. He argues that just as the three primary colors (yellow, red and blue) create a whole range of colors, something similar happens with emotions. Plutchik argues that there are eight basic emotions in total. These are anger, anticipation, joy, trust, fear, surprise, sadness and disgust. Emotions can be mixed, and two or more emotions can even be experienced simultaneously with different intensities. Plutchik stated that some emotional experiences are similar to each other and when mixed give rise to others.1. Red for AngerAnger is an emotion that occurs when you submit to situations that are unpleasant or make you feel frustrated. It is an extremely energetic emotion because it motivates you to take action. Often, when anger takes over, you focus your attention on the stimulus that caused it and become defensive, especially in situations that threaten your physical integrity, self-image, or self-esteem. Anger in its most intense form is rage. This means that you feel angry and express these feelings openly. It appears when you have not achieved a certain goal. Irritation is a milder version of anger. It involves a feeling of disgust and reluctance to engage in a certain activity.2. Orange for AnticipationIf you think you feel the emotion of anticipation strongly, you may be confusing it with its big sister, alertness. If so, you are constantly intensely scanning your surroundings. Its purpose is to encourage you to identify any potential threats. If you often experience the emotion of vigilance, you may also experience anxiety. At the other end of the expectancy scale lies interest. This means calm attention to a particular aspect and is part of the initial orientation reaction. The fusion of anger and anticipation equals aggressiveness. This emotion implies malicious actions that have been carefully planned. In addition, in criminal law it is considered an aggravating circumstance of the crime.3. Purple for Disgust Disgust breeds rejection. Maximum rejection is equal to disgust, an extremely strong degree of disgust. This can lead to aggressive behavior, both verbal and behavioral. A less intense form of disgust is boredom. This manifests as your reluctance or irritation when doing an activity because it doesn't motivate you or you're not interested in doing it. The combination of anger and disgust leads to contempt. If you disparage something or someone, you feel a strong sense of rejection and disrespect for them. It may also include behavior such as denying or putting down others you consider inferior. Contempt
