Good afternoon all,
I’ve found a fun and useful resource! It’s great for writing or self-work (self-work as in, working to improve yourself, via activites such as journaling, studying communication, or mindfulness exercises). It’s called The Atlas of Emotions.
The Atlas of Emotions shows the connection between an event happening, and the feeling that arises within you from it. It also shows options of what you can do when you feel that emotion – whether anger, fear, sadness, etc. I think it is really useful when you are working on character motivations. If you find yourself stuck, wondering, “Why does that make my main character angry? What does she associate that with?” or, “How do I decide how my character should react after something triggered sadness within her?” then this is the resource for you.
Check it out! It’s recommended by the Dalai Lama, and at the end of exploring and clicking through the timeline and explanations, you can read some awesome articles based off what topic interested you most.
Just click “begin” from the home page, which is here.
Happy writing and reading!
Until next time,
Chaitanya
