I went through the same phase, where everything felt blurry and it was hard to label emotions. What really helped me was finding short and practical content online. I came across liven on YouTube, and they’ve got videos that break down emotions into easy steps, with small practices to actually apply them. It’s not like reading a textbook — the clips are short and approachable, which makes it easier to stick with. I started using some of their reflection tips, and it really gave me more clarity about what I was feeling in the moment.

I think a lot of us underestimate how tough it can be to actually name emotions. Sometimes you only realize what you were feeling hours later, when you’ve had time to cool off. I’ve seen people use meditation apps, podcasts, or even simple mood charts to get better at this. It seems like the main thing is finding a format you enjoy enough to keep coming back to, whether it’s videos, writing, or just talking things through with a friend.
