What are some words or phrases that are not used much for emotions and feelings, although they describe them very well?

Some examples:
* Anhedonia is a symptom and describes the inability to feel joy even from things that you usually love. For years I called this lack of drive until I found this better fitting word.
* Compersion is a kind of opposite to jealousy that is used in the polyamory community. It describes the joy you feel from hearing about a loved one's love for someone else.
* Vorfreude is German, but unlike wanderlust and schadenfreude hasn't really found it's way into English, although it is an important emotion. It's pleasant anticipation and imo the best motivator to work towards a better future.

If you give me some good examples, I'll add them to #PaulasBox.

I'm so happy about this.

Inspired by @Aurin_the_classtraitor I started making a box of cards for myself, but not just your typical flashcards for #SpacedRepetition, but for whatever.

The first thing I love about this is that I love standardization.
▶️ The box is a wooden A6 box for flashcards (landscape format)
▶️ I use blank A& cards/paper (200g/m2) because I use my cards in portrait format and lined flashcards only exist in landscape format.
▶️ I use A6 tab cards in 4 colors
▶️ I put 16x9 mm labels to stick over the tab labels and write my own categories
▶️ All of this can be bought in nearby stores - no customization needed

But the main thing I love, is that this can be used for so much more than vocab.
My tabs:
➡️ Juggling: I put the names and a simple illustration of all the juggling tricks I know on cards and ordered them in 5 tabs:
play: tricks I can do very well and play around with, vary and e.g. use as warm-ups
perfect: tricks I can do pretty well, but want to be able to do better
train: tricks I can basically do, but not good yet
learn: tricks I understand and am learning
try: tricks that are new to me
➡️ Yoga: I put a lot of asanas and illustrations on cards and put them in the tabs:
calm
stretching
balance
strength
and new
(btw many asanas probably can't be put in one of these categories for everybody - this is about what I struggle with the most with the specific asana - except for "calm" which means I don't struggle)
➡️ classic flash cards with tabs for now, today, tomorrow, this week, next week, one for all 12 months of the year, done, archive and new
➡️ Drums: I haven't created the cards yet, but the tabs are similar to juggling: warm(-up), play, train, learn, try
➡️ Feelings: I created lots and lots of cards for feelings - not just emotions, but broader. I think this will help me better understand and describe how I feel. This deck will still grow a lot because there are so many things you can feel. So far the cards only contain the word(s) describing the feeling, but I'll probably add "links" to related cards and other stuff. It took me a while to find a tab system I'm happy with, and it will probably change, but right now I have these (all with 2 tabs for positive and negative feelings):
mood
balance (for anything related to calmness, freedom, stress, dependence, boredom, ...)
security (for things like clarity, determination, confusion & brain fog)
energy (self-empowerment, drive, creativity, powerlessness, avolition, anhedonia, ...)
self-worth (pride, self-love, shame, blame, ...)
courage (hope, defiance, pleasant anticipation ("Vorfreude"), fear, panic, fright, ...)
interest (lust, curiosity, excitement, indifference, disgust, revulsion)
affection (love, friendship, admiration, closeness, hate, distance, agression, anger, ...)
interpersonal (this needs a new name contains mostly pseudo emotions that describe less how you feel, but why: esteem, praise, belonging, humiliation, punishment, jealousy, distrust, ...)
physical (scent, warmth, beauty, stench, heat, ugliness, ...)

On the first card I have gathered more ideas like embodyment & mindfulness exercises, mental skills, local plant & animal species, ...
On it's back I have written down all the measures so I can get more boxes, cards, tabs and labels, when I need them.

I might post more about #PaulasBox as I gain more experience with it.

Btw, this easily covers my #3GoodThings of today.
