The Wheel of Life Exercise
Completing the Wheel of Life exercise is a way to review and balance 8 important areas in life, each of which elude to a ‘successful life’. In the pursuit of goals, it is mentally important to ensure that all areas of life within this wheel concept are balanced and that the wheel can run as smoothly as possible. The wheel of life is a really powerful way for us all to take stock of the most important aspects of life and to realise where action is needed.
There’s no point having lots of money but no one to share that with and of course becoming career focused can harm loved ones, personal health and fun times.

Exercise Notes:
This isn’t rocket science. On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being awesome) how do you grade yourself in the areas?
Once you have done this if you do not have a wheel that could run smoothly work on the lower bumpy parts.
We would recommend you do this activity once a month – click to download a printable PDF.
There is an old saying “we work to live not live to work” so within your business planning and your goal setting do not lose sight of all aspects of your life.
