Quick Use Cases

Why This Wheel?
This Mood wheel solves the problem of not knowing how to name your feelings. When you try to identify emotions yourself, you often get stuck or default to basic words like 'good' or 'bad'. The random mood picker provides specific emotional vocabulary and helps you become more aware of subtle feelings. Plus, the visual spin makes emotional check-ins more engaging than just thinking about it.
Improves Emotional Awareness
The random mood picker helps you identify feelings you might not have consciously recognized, increasing self-awareness.
Expands Emotional Vocabulary
Instead of defaulting to basic words like 'good' or 'bad', you get specific mood words that help you understand yourself better.
Great for Journaling
Use the selected mood as a writing prompt to explore your emotions and reflect on your day.
By The Numbers
Research shows that people can only identify 3-4 basic emotions on average, despite experiencing 27+ different emotions daily. Studies found that people who regularly label their emotions have better emotional regulation, reduced anxiety, and improved mental health. The ability to name specific feelings (like 'anxious' vs just 'bad') is linked to 30% better emotional processing and faster recovery from negative states.
Quick Tip
After spinning, take a moment to reflect on why that mood resonates with you. Write down one specific reason or situation that connects to that feeling. Then choose one small action that fits the mood—if you're stressed, maybe take a break; if you're energized, channel it into a task.
