Do you know what the 'wheel of life' is? The wheel of life is a simple way to visualize all the areas of your life at once and assess where you need to improve. An often powerful way to know what's happening in a person's life, the wheel of life is quite widely used by life coaches to help their clients. Each day is a new fresh start if you have a clear positive mindset, the same cannot happen when you don't have all the things balanced in life.
If you consider the significant areas in your life and the time you spend for each, you can understand this process better. For example, let's say career, finance, family, health, fun & recreation, friends, personal development, spirituality, are the 8 important areas in your life. Imagine the same 8 areas to be the 8 quadrants of a circle or wheel in this case. Rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 for each area on a paper by drawing a circle with 8 quadrants.
Do this exercise and if you come up with something like the picture below, then you can see where and what is bringing you down from leading a normal happy life. In the picture below you can see that the person is doing well financially, career-wise, in personal development but has issues and/or not happy in the areas of family, friends, health, etc. It is in the human nature to find reasons to stop doing things which matter or prioritize one thing over other. But remember that in order for the wheel to move forward all the areas of life should be balanced!
