Wheel of life

This is an exercise to help you consider important areas of your life together.

  1. Make a list of distinct areas of your life. Normally about 8 different areas works, and the list below may be appropriate for you, or you might want to use it as a starting point and specify your own.
    • Physical environment
    • Career
    • Family and friends
    • Significant other / romance
    • Fun and recreation
    • Health
    • Money
    • Personal growth / spirituality
  2. Draw a circle (a wheel) and split it into a number of segments to match the number of areas you have chosen. Label each segment.
  3. With 0 at the centre, and 10 at the outer edge, rank your level of satisfaction with each area of your life by drawing a line in the segment.
  4. What does this tell you? How bumpy is your life with this wheel?
  5. This is a starting point to help you consider changes. For some areas there might be a quick and simple thing you can do. For others, you might want to give it more attention over time to improve its ranking.
