Wheel of life - does yours go round and round

Do you remember that kids song "the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round"?

I was singing this with my 4yr old one day and had just been working on an article to do with Life Balance when I thought about a tool that I use constantly to gauge where I am in life. My son and now use different words for that song. "the wheels on your life go round and round, round and round, round and round".

To put it plainly, what I'm talking about is your life wheel. If you haven't heard of a life wheel, its a tool one can use to gauge where ones life is currently and where one would wish it would be.

Before we rate where we are we need to figure out where we want to be.

Step 1

- Sit down and go through the below list and write down what each of the following would look like idealy.

Health and Well being

Wealth and Finances

Relationships

Life Style

Personal Growth

Careers

Environment

Spirituality

Step 2

- Draw up a life wheel as per the Image below

 Step 3

For each of the life areas, gauge where you feel your are at the moment compared to what you wrote as your idea in step 2.

This will give you your starting point. If your ready and willing, start to make small changes that you feel will help you reach your ideal as quickly and easily as possible.

I normaly refer back to my wheel once ever couple of months. It helps me to see if I am on track. I would also suggest that you work on one to two of these areas at a time. Try not to take on all of them at once or you may feel overwhelmed and then give up. Incorporate one to two actions a day over a 30day period before moving onto the next area.

If you have any questions or feedback about this article, please feel free to contact me.

I wish you a life of passion.
