Detailed Instructions

1. Review the 8 areas on the Wheel of Life. The Wheel must, when put together, create a view of a balanced life for you. If necessary, split categories to add in something that is missing. You can also re-label an area so that it is more meaningful. The usual suspects are:

1. Family/Friends/relationships
2. Partner/Significant Other/Romance
3. Career/vocation
4. Finances/wealth
5. Health (emotional/physical/fitness/nutrition/wellbeing)
6. Physical Environment/Home
7. Fun/Recreation/Leisure
8. Personal Growth/Learning/Self-development
9. Spiritual wellbeing (not necessarily religion – can be sense of self)
10. Others could include security, service, leadership, integrity, achievement, or community.

2. Think about what success looks like for you, specific to each area of your ‘wheel of life’.

3. Using eight (8) of the examples provided on the following pages, create your wheel.

4. Rank your level of satisfaction with each area then complete the diagram like the example on the bottom right of the wheel of life page above. Place a value between 1 (very dissatisfied) and 10 (fully satisfied) against each area to show your current reality with these areas of your life.

5. Once the diagram is complete, ask yourself these three questions.
I. If you were driving down a busy highway and that was the back right wheel of your car, how does that ride feel?
II. Does it resonate with you?
III. Overall, on a scale from 1-10, how do you feel life is for you right now compared to where it REALLY could be?

6. To dig deeper with this exercise, consider asking some of the questions below:

I. Are there any surprises for you?
II. How do you feel about your life as you look at your Wheel?
III. How do you currently spend time in these areas?
IV. How would you like to spend time in these areas?
V. Which of these elements would you most like to improve?
VI. How could you make space for these changes?
VII. Can you effect the necessary changes on your own?
VIII. What help and cooperation from others might you need?
IX. What would make that a score of 10?
X. What would a score of 10 look like in that area?

7. Complete the “Actions to take” table to prioritize change, create an action plan, and have fun with it!
