The 8 Uncomfortable Feelings

This worksheet is a gentle invitation to understand what’s really happening beneath anxiety and fear of failure.

Instead of fighting uncomfortable emotions, this practice helps you slow down and recognize them — without judgment, pressure, or self-blame.

You’ll be guided to:

• Understand where anxiety and fear responses come from

• Learn how emotions function to protect, connect, and guide you

• Identify the 8 uncomfortable feelings often hidden behind “anxiety”

• Reflect on personal experiences with honesty and softness

• Name emotions clearly so they can be cared for, not suppressed

This is not about fixing yourself.
And it’s not about forcing calm.

It’s about creating safety in your body, clarity in your emotions, and space to move through discomfort with more compassion.

Take your time.
Breathe slowly.
This is a place to listen inward.
