THE WHEEL OF LIFE

The Wheel of Life has been used throughout time for measuring the quality of our lives. Look at the example below and imagine that each piece of the pie represented an area of your own life. Imagine that each line is a spoke in a wheel, with the centre of the wheel representing 0% satisfaction and fulfilment in that area of your life and the outside represents 100% satisfaction and fulfilment with that area of your life.

If this was your Wheel of Life where would you currently be in each area of your life?

In this example, the person is at 60% of where they want to be in the area of Finances and her Family Life is only at 30%.

Now it’s your turn. Take a few moments to draw a line in each piece of the pie representing where you believe you currently are in that area of your life. When you’ve finished, shade in the areas to get a true sense of the shapes in each section.

And now…

If this was a wheel on a car called LIFE, how well would your car run?

How would it run if you were travelling at 25 kilometres per hour? How would it run if you were travelling at 100 kilometres per hour? What if you wanted to be a high achiever? Would the gaps cause you to stay on the road or would you be heading for the ditch?

If you’re like most people, you’re probably experiencing a certain level of discomfort with the quality of your ride! What about if you could find a way to round off your Wheel of Life so that you experienced balance across the areas that matter most to you? Imagine putting your energy focus and time into the areas that matter most to you… what would that feel like? How would your life look? What would be different?

Here’s to life on your terms!
