You might suspect that your life is out of balance or that you are just not satisfied with your life. Use the wheel below to assess where you are in your life and then ask yourself:

1. Where do I want to be in each of these categories?
2. How much energy do I put into each?
3. What would it take for me to increase my satisfaction in the one category that concerns me the most?
4. What would my life look and feel like if I were at the optimum level of satisfaction in each?
5. What am I settling for?

Directions

The eight sections in the Wheel of Life represent different aspects of your life. Seeing the center of the wheel as 0 and the outer edges as 10, rank your level of satisfaction with each life area by drawing a straight or curved line to create a new outer edge. The new perimeter represents the wheel of your life.

If this were a real wheel, how bumpy would the ride be?

The tragedy of life is not death. The tragedy of life is what we allow to die inside of us while we live. - Dr. Norman Cousins
