I came across this article when someone I know posted it on Facebook. It's a great read!
It discusses basic emotions, and expands on them to include other emotions that maybe a mixture of those basic emotions. It graphs out a small chart as a means of identifying and navigating those emotions.
If you are interested you can find the article here:

The article reminded me when I saw the Dalai Lama speak several years ago he spoke of the emotion anger. He said in the moment realize you are angry and sit with it. I have done that a lot over the years and it has really helped. Anger shuts down the frontal lobe of the brain where we need it for reasoning and figuring things out. That is why it isn't helpful arguing when your angry, you don't have access to your whole brain.
Thanks so much for posting this!!!!
I have issues with this, because I don't want any emotions to be "bad", so I'll not identify them. Eep!
I've read the Dalai Lama fairly extensively, and need to go back and re-read, I'd forgotten some ofhtat, Muskoka.
