The wheel of life is an excellent tool to identify your current ‘life pattern’, allowing you to determine whether you are focusing too much on one part of your life and so neglecting others.
Is your career going strong and your income 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 your life is out of balance.
Are you are so busy with other things that you're ignoring your health? - you probably need a balance adjustment.
Do you have the house, the car and the holiday home but no one to enjoy it with? - your balance is out of kilter.
Have you ever felt like your life was out-of-control? Maybe you need to look at your life priorities and find renewed balance.
Balance is the type of thing that sounds good in theory but is hard to apply in "real" life.
With the constant demands from our work and families, it may be difficult to imagine a life that allows for all the things you would like to do. Many people make the mistake of putting other’s needs ahead of their own. However, this may be a costly mistake in the long run. Burnout, depression, and loss of health are often the price we pay for not making balance a priority in our lives.
At this point, you may be wondering how you, too, could achieve more balance in your life and reap the benefits that come with it. The first step is to determine which areas of your life are out of balance
The example below shows a recent client’s life pattern before and after coaching. In just seven sessions the client’s fulfillment rating rose overall by 30% but as you can see, some areas increased by 60%!
I would recommend downloading the pdf wheel of life pdf and using it every three months as a mini life audit to show how you are doing.
