Wheel of Life

 

The Life Wheel Exercise – play assignment 


In this exercise, you will be asked to evaluate your life in each of at least eight areas. Select labels (from the list) and label each section of the wheel. Create a wheel that represents balance to you. You may subdivide any of the sections, i.e., Health could be divided into physical and emotional, Money could be divided into cash flow and savings.  

For each of these areas, ask yourself, “How satisfied am I in this area of my life right now?” Give a number from one to ten to that level of satisfaction. One would be low; ten would be high. 

Notice two distinctions in the questions. “How satisfied am I…” This is a subjective assessment. It is not about how your family or colleagues or neighbors see you; it is not about success; it is about personal satisfaction. Also notice “right now”. This wheel is a snapshot. Scores will change weekly, daily – even hourly as circumstances change. Do not look for ultimate truth; just check in with how you feel in this moment.
