It can be hard to know where to start with changing things. Perhaps you feel tied-in to a certain responsibility which leaves little space for other areas in your life. If this is not the case, and things are genuinely out of the sync for you, then something needs to change. If this is the case, re-adjust your score so that it’s higher and reflects your overall level of satisfaction, then re-assess the shape of your Wheel.
It might be that some areas of your life are scoring low but that, actually, you’re quite happy with them. Well, the good news is that there’s definitely room for improvement. For example, could you sacrifice one evening at the gym for seeing your family or friends, or going on a date?Īlternatively, rather than seeing friends every evening or weekend, what could you do to improve your fitness or personal growth? One area might come down in score, but with one area coming up as a result, you’re achieving a broader sense of balance.
This is because we often prioritise areas such as career and health & fitness, leaving little time for fun and close relationships.Īction: Consider where to let go of one thing you do in a high scoring area to make room for an action related to a low scoring area. Some areas might score highly, with other areas receiving scores of four and under. You’re in for a bumpy ride but don’t worry, this shape of Wheel is very common. Sometimes we need to take a good hard look at our lives and implement change. So, committing to a ‘date night’ once a week could improve your relationship, for example. Your Wheel might become a bit ‘spiky’ in the interim, as some areas change and others don’t, but adjusting these priority areas should have a positive knock-on effect. qĪction: Consider which two areas might have the biggest impact on your happiness and focus on improving those scores. Just like the shape of your Wheel, you may feel life is hemming you in, and that little is going well.
This shape of Wheel would usually suggest that you’re satisfied with very few, if any, areas of your life. If you see one area taking over, or another being sacrificed, consider a couple of actions you could take to rectify the balance. While everything is currently aligned perfectly, don’t panic if this isn’t always the case – sometimes we need to let things go out of balance so that we can attend to the priority in hand.įrom time to time, it’s OK for things to be off-kilter – just ensure you keep making time for the most important parts of your life.Īction: Complete the Wheel of Life exercise every three to six months to check you’re still on track.
