The central idea of the wheel of life is the search for balance. If you want your life to be full and harmonious, you must avoid distortions and maintain balance in all areas.
To make sure that the circle is not just a formality, but rather a truly motivational tool for life improvement and planning, it is essential to properly divide it into sectors.
So, to understand which areas your wheel of life balance should consist of, consider what a happy life is for you. Are there areas without which your life would not be possible? What areas must be present in an ideal life so that you can feel completely satisfied.
You can also take each area separately for a more detailed elaboration and make your own circle for it.
Do not use ready-made templates with areas invented by someone else, unless you can change them (since there are no templates for happiness). Make your own personal balance chart.
Making Your Own Wheel of Life
Draw a circle.
Then make several straight lines through the center of the circle (like a cake). Each sector represents each area of life.
Label the resulting sectors with desired life areas.
Put a zero in the center of the circle.
Divide each of the constructed axis into 10 segments. Then draw small circles through them. Put a number on the intersections of the radii and the small circles, in order from zero to 10 (starting from the center of the circle).
Once the drawing of the Wheel of Life is ready, you need to fill it out correctly. You have to paint over the segments to have a graphic representation of the satisfaction in each life area. A zero in the picture represents complete dissatisfaction with the situation, an unquestionable failure, and a 10 means unconditional satisfaction. It is necessary to assess the areas of your life as objectively as possible.
After the scores are posted, connect the dots in a circle. You get a diagram. This is often used in sports to indicate the characteristics of players to see what weaknesses they need to work on. It’s the same in our case, but instead of speed and stamina, we have family, work, and other important areas of life.
