What can I try to help with what is emotional literacy??

Set 3 phone alarms throughout the day labelled "feeling check." When they go off, name your current feeling as specifically as you can — not "fine" but "a bit restless" or "quietly happy" or "slightly worried about tomorrow." At the end of each day, write down the strongest feeling you had, what caused it, and what you did about it. After a week you will start to see patterns in your emotional life. Choose one trusted person and practise telling them one feeling per day. Start easy: "I felt proud when I finished my project." Building this habit with small feelings makes it available for bigger ones.
