When I’m working with my clients, our focus is on starting where my client is right in this moment. All of the experiences, thoughts, and choices you’ve had have created who you are and where you are right now. You truly are exactly where you’re supposed to be now. 

But what about starting to make changes in your life? You know we’re going to start where you are right now, girl. So, where are you?

I’m offering you the same tool I use with my clients to help you gain clarity on your overall satisfaction in key areas of life. It’s called the Wheel of Life.

It allows you to physically see where you are in this moment and how balanced your life feels to you. Once you know where you are, easier to start making sustainable change in your life, step by step.

How To Use The Wheel of Life Tool

Got your Wheel of Life tool printed out? Ok, good, now go grab some markers or colored pencils or crayons. (You can make this as simple or as fancy as you like – they can all be the same color or make them all different!)

You’ll see the Wheel of Life tool has all the significant ares of your life listed: personal development, spiritual awareness, fun and enjoyment, relationship, health and aging, personal finance, career and profession, and family and parenting.

Your job is to go through the Wheel of Life one pie piece at a time, rating your overall satisfaction in that area on a scale from 1 – 10. For example, when you consider your health and aging, how satisfied are you?

Find the line that corresponds to what you feel matches your amount of satisfaction and fill in the area on the Wheel of Life below that line. 

Continue to do this through each area of your life on the tool. Here’s an example of what a completed Wheel of Life can look like, although your Wheel won’t look like this since it will be specific to you:

Now that you have a visual representation of how you view your life satisfaction, let’s a take a look at it. Is it super balanced? Would it be able to roll down the road pretty smoothly?

Or maybe it’s a bumpy Wheel? Is there an obvious imbalance?

How do you feel about the way your Wheel looks? Have you gained some clarity about where you might like to start optimizing your life?

How You Do One Thing Is How You Do Everything

One of the big things to remember about the Wheel of Life is that all of these areas are interconnected and impact all the other areas. As you make changes in one area, you will find the other parts of your life adjusting.

The truth is that how you show up in one area of your life is exactly how you show up in all the other areas. 

That being said, don’t try to change everything in your life at once. Choose one area that you feel is most important for you to focus on.

Create a very specific goal of what you want that area to look like, and take one small step toward making that goal a reality. The more specific you are here, the faster you will reach your goals.

This is the just the tip of the iceberg in exploring the Wheel of Life to determine where you are, but its so incredibly powerful, especially for such and easy and fast tool to use!
