WHEEL OF LIFE Improve your life-work satisfaction
GETTING STARTED Every journey needs a starting point. Now you can identify yours, create a compelling vision, set some goals and move into action! Ready to begin?
HOW IT WORKS The wheel represents 8 aspects of your life competing for your time and attention. The outside circlerepresents the most satisfied you can be/the BEST. The centre of the wheel represents totally dissatisfied or unsatisfactory. Take a look at the wheel of life and get a feel for it. Then check out the sample.
STEP ONE Assess your satisfaction level in each of the 8 aspects of the Wheel of Life: • Financial • Mental/Intellectual • Friends & Family • Personal Development/Recreation • Work/Career • Physical Wellbeing/Health • Emotional/Relationships • Environment/Community
STEP BY STEP To complete the assessment, review the questions for each aspect on the following slides and follow these simple instructions: Accepting 10, at the outside circle(as the most satisfied/peak performance possible) and 0 atthe centre of the wheel (totally dissatisfied/unsatisfactory) determine your level of satisfaction in each of the 8 aspects on your Wheel of Life and mark it on the corresponding spoke.

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF Friends & Family: • Do you make space and time for friends and family in your life? • How do you feel about the time you spend together?

STEP TWO Join the dots from one spoke to the next. Now reflect: What would a ride on this wheel feel like?
DOES BALANCE BOOST ENERGY? It’s simple. The bigger, rounder and more balanced your wheel, the less energy it takes for you to move it – so, you have more energy available to invest in other things. Now, to recoup some of that lost energy…
STEP THREE Consider… How long has it taken to get yourself into your current situation? Which aspect of your Wheel of Life, if improved, would have the greatest positive impact on your overall experience?
STEP FOUR Relax and create the space to dream a little. If the priority aspect of your life already was at 10, what three things would be happening? 1. 2. 3.
STEP FIVE Consider…. What small action steps can you take toward improved performance and/or heightened level of satisfaction?
STEP SIX Commit to yourself by when you will do at leastone of these actions. Create a way to hold yourself accountable.
STEP SEVEN What short-term goal can you set for yourself? Take a moment to reflect. Write it down and keep it in front of you until achieved.
STEP EIGHT Celebrate each and every win you achieve.
GETTING TRACTION Date your Wheel of Life and keep a log of the actions taken to reflect on your progress. Look for ways to improve your process.
