Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving” – Albert Einstein
This is a balance wheel.
It is a great way to have a look at the different aspects of your life and finding out how balanced our life currently is.
It is similar to a bicycle wheel with each spoke representing an aspect of life. The center point represents ‘0’, meaning that aspect of life is not satisfactory, and the outer point represents ’10’, meaning that aspect of life is perfect.
- Relationships (if you don’t have a spouse / partner, don’t put a dot here)
- Family
- Friends
- Fun / Leisure
- Physical Health / Fitness. (sport, nutrition, stress reduction)
- Personal Development. (learning)
- Emotional Health. (self esteem, happiness, etc.)
- Spirituality (morals & ethics, life purpose, religion)
- Environment. (place of work, home, etc.)
- Contribution (charities, church, recycling, volunteering)
- Finances. (financial planning, financial beliefs, etc.)
- Work (career planning, business skills, etc.)
Rate the aspects of your life on the scale of 1-10, circle them on the wheel and then connect them. When you are thinking about how to rate yourself in each aspect, ask yourself questions like:-
- Am I happy with this aspect of my life?
- Am I spending enough time on it?
Once your have completed that - then you can ask some further questions about each aspect:-
- What do I want this aspect of my life to look like?
- What would I see if I could magically change this aspect overnight?
- What would have to be different in this area of my life in order for me to create the happiness I am looking for?
- What stands in the way of me achieving my goals? (a situation, another person, myself, etc.)
Once you have answered all these questions, set a goal or an intention to achieve or create it. Then start taking small steps towards your goal.
