Emotions

Name what you feel, and understand what your body is telling you.

Feelings are easier to handle when you can name them. Arete Minds gives every emotion its own card, from anger and anxiety to joy, love and self-worth, so you can find the one that fits right now.

Each card explains the feeling in plain language and shows what tends to happen in the body. For anger: “Heat can rise quickly through your chest, face, or arms.” For anxiety: “Heart rate can speed up and you may feel jittery or shaky.” For calm: “Breathing feels slower and smoother.”

What you get

  • Body effects

    Five short, specific notes for each emotion describe what you might notice physically, so the feeling makes sense rather than feeling random.

  • Thoughts, sensations and behaviours

    Cues help you spot an emotion early: the thoughts it tends to bring, where you feel it and how it changes what you do.

  • Activities matched to the feeling

    Every emotion links to activities chosen for it, like breathing for anxiety or colour release for frustration.

  • Journal prompts

    Gentle prompts help you reflect on what happened and what you need, then save it straight to your journal.

  • Read aloud in a matching tone

    Emotion pages can be read aloud, with a voice tone that follows the emotion you opened.

  • Simpler words in child mode

    Younger people see shorter descriptions and child-friendly activities for the same emotions.
