The Life Wheel is a useful tool to help to think about how we feel about different aspects of our lives. All the aspects listed are important for our happiness in life.
The activity is for your own personal use and reflection. It's a really good way of seeing how balanced things are for you right now. Sometimes seeing a visual representation of our lives can be helpful for spotting where there might be an issue,
perhaps that you are not even aware of.
- Complete your own version of the Life Wheel.
- Shade in the sections of the circle towards the middle to indicate how content you are with that aspect of your life. For example, if you are happy with your career, shade the section towards the centre. If you are happy with your family relationships,
and feel even more happy with them than your career, shade closer the the centre than for the career section. In the end you will have an snapshot of how you are feeling with all these aspects of your life.
- Review and reflect on your shading. Think about the sections where you've said you're very content. Why is that? What about the areas that are you have shaded less? What is going on there?
- Finally, think about your priorities. How can you shade more of the wheel? Which sections would you like to focus on? What actions could help you achieve that?
