Make your Own Poetry Tree
for your New Year's Resolution
So many of our feelings are stuffed. Unexpressed. Stifled by angry feelings you don't express. It takes a lot of energy to keep boundaries especially if you have had a traumatic childhood. Pushed your feelings to an exhaustion point. Do you avoid direct conflict? Do you withdraw? Evade problems. Has anyone ever called you passive-aggressive? If any of these apply, try identifying your feelings on a feeling wheel. Here's one: University of Oregon's Feeling Wheel by Bret Stein, 2011.
You need to click on the U of Oregon's Feeling Wheel link above to see this fantastic image. It is an awesome image.
It will definitely help identify your feelings. Here's the URL to it if you prefer copying and pasting.: https://ytp.uoregon.edu/sites/ytp2.uoregon.edu/files/Feelings%20Wheel%20in%20PDF.pdf
Below is an image to distract you from identifying feelings.

"If you cannot properly assess information bias, it could:
1. Lead you to follow a false cause
2. Leave you feeling foolish
3. Tarnish your credibility
4. Attract the wrong people
5. Create undue stress
6. Compromise your values
7. Harm your mental health"
