The Wheel of Life provides a snapshot of your wellbeing and the level of satisfaction in your current circumstances.
At a high level, the exercise provides insight into whether or not your life is in balance. From a more detailed perspective, it captures whether individual areas of your life are either meeting your needs and making you happy or leaving you dissatisfied and discontented.
By scoring each category, you identify areas that need support and improvement to reach individual and overall life goals.
The process of writing down, reviewing, and agreeing upon ratings not only provides input to the goal-setting process, but also offers insights into areas of your life that are causing you difficulty.
A few simple tips to help you use this tool:
- The Wheel of Life exercise is not about where you think you should be, it’s your level of satisfaction about where you are.
- Looking at your wheel what stands out?
- Reflect on the 8 areas which one would you like o work on?
- What would be different if you moved 2 levels higher on the scale?
- If you select all 10’s what would an 11 look for you?
