The Wheel of Life

WHEEL OF LIFE INSTRUCTIONS
The 8 sections in the Wheel of Life represent balance.

Please change, split or rename any category so that it’s meaningful and represents a balanced life for you.
Next, taking the centre of the wheel as 0 and the outer edge as 10, rank your level of satisfaction with each area out of 10 by drawing a straight or curved line to create a new outer edge (see example)
The new perimeter of the circle represents your ‘Wheel of Life’. Is it a bumpy ride?

The Wheel of Life Exercise – Coach Instructions

Notes:

This exercise will help clarify priorities for goal-setting, allowing the client to plan so that their life is closer to their definition of balance.
Balance is personal and unique to each individual – what may be balance for some may be stressful or boring for others.
Balance must be assessed over time. So, a regular check on how balanced the client is can highlight useful patterns and help them learn even more about ourselves. You can do this with them, or recommend they do it for themselves
Another option with this exercise is that they can ask someone who knows them well to complete the scores for them. It can be helpful sometimes to see an outside perception of your life ‘balance’. Note: This must be someone they trust AND whose opinion they value.

Detailed Instructions:

Ask them to review the 8 areas on the Wheel of Life. The Wheel must, when put together, create a view of a balanced life for them. If necessary they can split categories to add in something that is missing for them. They can also re-label an area so that it is more meaningful for them. The usual suspects are:
Family/Friends
Partner/Significant Other/Romance
Career
Finances
Health (emotional/physical/fitness/nutrition/wellbeing)
Physical Environment/Home
Fun/Recreation/Leisure
Personal Growth/Learning/Self-development
Spiritual wellbeing (not necessarily religion – can be sense of self)
Others could include security, service, leadership, integrity, achievement or community.
