What do you need to focus on to grow as a person? Here is a very simple exercise that will help you visualize this.

the wheel of your life

(save this & print!)

  • Click the above image to save it and get started, or simply take a look and copy the asterisk & headings down on your own paper.
  • Rate each area of your life on a 1-10 scale (center being 0, the edge being 10) by placing a dot along its corresponding line.
  • Next, connect the dots with a black pen.
  • Now reevaluate your situation and mark (on a scale from 1-10) where you’d like each area to be. Connect these new dots with a red pen.

Take a look! The bigger or “rounder” your wheel is, the more satisfied you are with your life. Compare the black area with the red area and see how close they are. If there is a large gap between the two, try to think of why that is and which steps you can take to push the black area closer to the red area.

I did this exercise with a friend of mine while I was going through a bit of a rut in Beijing, and it helped me to actually see these on paper. I hope it helps you guys as well ♥
