This worksheet helps you understand and manage your feelings. Here’s how to fill it out step by step:
1.
I feel:
Look at the box with 12 emotion words (like Happy, Mad, Sad, etc.). Pick ONE word that best describes how you’re feeling right now — or how you felt when something happened. Write that word on the line.
Example: If you had a fight with a friend, you might write “Upset” or “Mad”.
2.
I feel this way because:
Think about what caused that feeling. Was it something someone said? Something that happened? A thought you had? Write 1–3 sentences explaining why you feel that way.
Example: “I feel upset because my friend didn’t invite me to their party.”
3.
This is what I did about it:
What action did you take after feeling that way? Did you talk to someone? Cry? Walk away? Write down what you actually did.
Example: “I went to my room and listened to music.”
4.
Something else I could have done is:
Now think — was there another way to handle it? Maybe something calmer or more helpful? Use the bottom box for ideas like “Take deep breaths”, “Talk to a friend”, or “Ask for help”. Pick one and write it here.
Example: “I could have talked to my mom about how I felt.”
You don’t need to get it “perfect” — just be honest. This helps you learn how to handle big feelings better next time.
Final Answer:
Fill in each section honestly using your own feelings and experiences. Start by picking one emotion from the list, then explain why you feel that way, what you did, and what else you could try next time.
