The Wheel of Life

The 'Wheel of Life', or 'Life Wheel' as it is sometimes known, is a simple tool that allows you to determine whether you are focusing too much on one part of your life and so neglecting others. The wheel is divided into eight areas of your life including emotional, personal development, money, career, health, spiritual, family/social and partner/relationships with each marked out of ten. Then by marking in the levels on the wheel and you can see at a glance where it is possible to make the greatest positive impact on your life.

From this you may find that your life is out of balance. For example if your career is going strong and your income is soaring but you don't have time to enjoy it, you're probably out of balance. If your hobbies and activities are taking you away from your friends and family, maybe you're life is out of balance. If you are so busy with other things that you're ignoring your health, you probably need a balance adjustment.

Use the life wheel to help you choose areas in your life to which goals should be set.
