One way to better recognize other emotions is by paying close attention to the physical sensations accompanying them. For example, when you feel anxious, your heart may race and your palms sweat. When you feel happy, you may feel a sense of warmth in your chest, or a smile spread across your face. By becoming more aware of these physical cues, you can better identify the emotions you’re experiencing.
You can also try to reflect on how you’re feeling in the moment.
