Wheel of Life Exercise
The Wheel of Life is a common coaching tool which is used as an easy way to take stock of your life as it is today; to show you where your life is 'out of balance', and the areas where you want to focus on improving.



Directions: This wheel contains eight sections that, together, represent one way of describing a whole life. This exercise measures your level of satisfaction in these areas on the day you work through this exercise. Taking the center of the wheel as 0 and the outer edge as an ideal 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 your Wheel of Life. How bumpy would the ride be if this were a real wheel?
