The Wheel of Life is a powerful self assessment tool. It helps you assess the major areas of your life and to clearly see what is off balance. With its help you will visually see what areas of your life are clearly off balance so that you can bring things back into harmony.

There are many Wheel of Life templates available in PDF/WORD, Excel and other formats. Most of them differ not only in the number of sectors (5-12 or even more), but also in the design style.
2. How to choose the right template? nine0003
Pizza Style Wheel of Life Template looks like slices of pizza and includes a check mark on each segment to evaluate a specific area.
The peculiarity of this template is that it does not allow to do a deeper analysis . On such a template, you will not be able to add additional points. For example, if you need to see how your wheel will look like in 3 months or a year. nine0003
This Wheel of Life template allows to work with it independently.
Working time with such a Wheel of Life is from 60 minutes to an hour and a half.

Wheel of Life Template in Web Style looks like a web, and unlike the Wheel of the first style, here the scores are marked not on segments, but on lines for each categories. nine0003
This template is more convenient for comparative analysis.
For example, you mark with one color what the Wheel of Life looks like now.
The second color is how you want the Wheel to look after 3 months (or after any - the same period of time for all spheres).
If you use the Wheel of Life Balance technique regularly, you can also mark on it how your wheel looked three months ago.
Will you analyze what has changed over the past period? What caused the positive changes and what led to the “imbalance”? nine0003

Detailed instructions on how to use the Wheel of Life Balance technique can be found in the article Wheel of Life Balance - how to work with it: 5 rules and template (will open in a new tab)

Are you satisfied with your life in general? Are you satisfied with the state of affairs in the Family area? Or Job?
It is not always easy to answer these questions. Our life often does not fit into the framework of just one word.
For many, a family is their own parents, and relatives from the husband's side, and spouses and children. It happens that a person is satisfied with the way communication develops with some family members and is not satisfied with the tension in communication with others. nine0003
How would you rate the Family area in this case?
If you are faced with a similar situation and do not know how to determine the degree of satisfaction with one area, just evaluate not 1 parameter, but 2-3 subcategories. If three sub-categories are not enough and you need, for example, 10 sub-spheres, draw a template of the Life Balance Wheel of the “Sun” type.
The Sunshine Style Wheel of Life template is divided into main spheres, with each sector having a few more inner rays.
nine0003
These "sub-sectors" allow for more in-depth analysis, although it takes more time. Often, to simplify the work with the Wheel of Life in the form of a “sun”, Excel tables are additionally used.
A sample of such a table can be downloaded at the end of the article.

The Cake Style Wheel of Life Template essentially repeats the Pizza Style Wheel, but has a circle instead of a dot in the center.
The circle contains the main values of a person, guided by which he evaluates each area of his life and sets goals for himself in the future.
Usually work with this kind of Wheel is carried out together with a coach.

The Target Style Life Balance Wheel template has an inverse distribution of dots along the axes and thus simulates a target.
In such a Wheel of Life, the mark 10 will be closer to the center. And the mark "0", symbolizing getting into the "milk", is outside the circle.
This format is useful after you have identified your “peak” or “higher goal” that is moving you towards the center. Typically, this Wheel of Life template is used in conjunction with a coach. nine0003

5 basic patterns of the Wheel of Life Balance:
The first three types - Web, Pizza, Sun can be used independently.
nine0003
The Pizza Style Balance Wheel template is the easiest to use. And perhaps the most colorful. It is he who is drawn in the Bullet-journal.
Comparative analysis can be done in the Web-style Wheel of Life template. To note the dynamics of changes in comparison with the last Wheel. And note - how you would like the Wheel to look after a while.
The Wheel of Life Balance template in the form of the Sun contributes to the deepest analysis of life. It has more categories (in the example in the photo - more than 70). And at the same time, working with him takes the most time. nine0003
The last two patterns of the Wheel of Life Balance - "Cake" and "Target" - are more complex versions of the Wheel of Life Balance. They are combined with other (self-)analysis techniques and often require coaching.
Thus, in the case of the Wheel of Balance “Cake” pattern, it is necessary to work out the values.
And to use the “Target” template, you need to work out the “Maximum Life” technique or define “Higher Goals”.

I want everything at once, but there are many things to do. As a result, you don’t know what to grab onto, and you don’t have time to do anything.
Focused on work - abandoned family. nine0189 You take care of your family, husband and children - a mess at home.
I put things in order - I don’t even have the strength to climb under the shower.
Sometimes it seems that juggling a dozen burning torches is easier than organizing things in the life of an ordinary woman.
And that's okay. No living person can keep in mind all the important areas of life at once. But you can draw your own Wheel of Life Balance and realistically assess what you are doing well, and what needs to be “pumped up”.
You look at the picture - and you immediately see what to grab onto and how to prioritize. nine0003

At first glance, making your own Balance Wheel is very simple:
Step 1: Identify important areas of life.
Step 2: Draw the form or download and print the template provided in this article.
Step 3: Evaluate each area and note the result in the desired sector.
Step 4: Analyze the Wheel of Balance.
And now let's understand in more detail.
Let's be honest!
We are all different. And it is likely that some of the items listed below will be completely unimportant to you at all.
In that case, just don't take it when you put together your Wheel of Life Balance. nine0003
But it can also be the other way around.
If there is something in life that is so important that it deserves a separate sector - do not be shy!
This is your life. It is up to you to decide what to include in the Wheel of Balance and whether there will be 5, 8, 10 or 12 spheres. But to have plenty to choose from, check out this list.
1. What is around me
In what conditions do you live and work? Are you satisfied with your desktop? Room? House? Entrance? Town? Country? nine0003
2. Family and environment
Who surrounds you? Who do you communicate with regularly? This is your family, friends, acquaintances, colleagues. Do these people support you and help you develop or, on the contrary, pull you down? If you chose your surroundings consciously, would you choose these people?
3.
Relationships and love
Warmth and joy, the feeling of “we are together”…
There can be many important things in a woman's life. But when there is a strong and reliable relationship, when she is sure that she loves and is loved, this is a huge resource. And it seems that when everything is fine in this area, a woman can literally flutter through life and implement really big and interesting projects. nine0003
4. Children
Not every person will single out this area of life. Someone will combine relationships with children, their upbringing and development, with the sphere of Family and Environment. Someone will say that Children are about Relationships and Love.
But try to prove to a mother of many children or a woman on maternity leave that this is not a separate area of life.
"What a separate one!" she will exclaim and look at you as a very strange person who does not understand anything in life.
5. Health
How is your body? Do you have enough strength and energy?
And if you look ahead, to the future? What habits keep you healthy? What influence it is not very good?
6.
Beauty
Sometimes it is convenient to combine two directions into one area of life "Beauty and Health". But, you see, Beauty is a broader concept. In addition to health, it is also the image, and posture, and gestures, and demeanor, and grooming.
That is why many women single it out as a separate sector. nine0003
7. Rest and energy
What a multifaceted concept - rest! It is a pity that often people do not take the rest very responsibly. But rest is the basis for successful and productive work, happy relationships, inner peace.
How are you with your rest?
Check:
Replenishment of physical strength: sleep, relaxation, shower or sauna, massage - is there?
Replenishment of emotional forces: communication with friends, hugs with relatives, an hour with a book in a comfortable chair - is this present in your life? nine0189 Replenishment of intellectual forces: walking, sports, dancing, watching a light movie - don't you forget about this?
8.
Money
This is one of the key resources. However, money is a relative concept. Because how much money you need depends very much on what you want in life.
It is one thing to raise and send a child into the life, another thing is to send a spaceship to Mars.
Is the money you have enough for life, for the implementation of your plans and projects? nine0003
9. Career, status, success
Everything is not so simple in this area.
It is clear that a woman who aspired to build a career and got a high position is successful. Everything is clear and there are no questions.
Do you realize yourself as a specialist?
What if the woman's goal was to create a strong family, raise children, and support her husband?
In my opinion, if as a result - the children are wonderful, the husband is happy with everything, and the woman herself is a wonderful hostess, wife and mother, then she can also safely put herself a ten in this area.
What do you think? nine0189 Maybe you help someone to do a big and important thing and realize yourself as a life partner? Or maybe your calling is Mom, and first of all your success is the development and career of children?
10. Hobbies, hobbies, brightness of life
Someone can go somewhere far, far away from home every weekend. And there you can wander all day, looking at local sights, learning and absorbing another life, another culture, other customs.
And someone with the same enthusiasm walks around the nearest store "Tkani". He admires the colors and paints, passes the finest silk between his fingers, picks up threads, buttons, braid. nine0003
What are you willing to do while immersing yourself in the process? So it seems like time and fatigue is something that has nothing to do with you?
11. I develop myself, investments for the future
To what extent does your current personality allow you to achieve your goals?
Do you learn new things, create the right habits, set interesting goals?
12.
Spirituality
They say that if a person understands the "why", then he will endure any "how". Is there a meaning in your life, a search for something more than a person in itself? nine0003
After you decide on the areas of life that are important to you, you can start making your Balance Wheel.
Download a suitable template for filling the balance wheel from these links (opens in a separate window):

life balance wheel download excel template - https://yadi.sk/i/lzl6Mqw-4gTXWQ
Or you can draw a balance wheel yourself.
To do this:
Rate each area of your life on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is "totally terrible" and 10 is "perfect." nine0003
When assessing, you can focus on your own feelings and ask yourself questions:
But feelings and emotions are unreliable things.
Today I quarreled with my husband - my score in the area of "Family" went down. And two days later he realized his mistake, came home with a gorgeous bouquet and apologized. That's already 10 in the "Family" sector. So? nine0003
Therefore, in addition to sensations, it is worth focusing on a more reasonable approach.
Imagine that everything worked out in the best way in life.
Everything turned out to the maximum, but really, without the use of a magic wand and the help of aliens.
How would you like to live? Where, with whom, how would your typical day go? What have you achieved over the years?
And now compare this image with what we have now. nine0003
What areas of your life would fit the life you want to achieve? Which ones lack resources and results so far?
After you have analyzed and evaluated each area of your life, put these marks on your Balance Wheel and paint the corresponding sectors with different colors.
And now you can move on to the most important stage - the analysis of the results.
The first thing you notice is whether there is a clear bias in life. How did your Wheel turn out - smooth or not so?
It is possible that some sectors of the circle will be painted over almost completely: these are your strengths, here you can take resources, and you can rely on them in life.
Some other sectors may be close to zero.
Obviously, the "sagging" sectors probably need your attention now.
Identify 2-3 "strong" sectors, and 2-3 - requiring investment of effort and time
It happens that the wheel turned out to be even, but small - in all directions by 3-4. And here's something to think about.
Sometimes the fact is that you are very demanding of yourself, and your dreams, plans, tasks for the future are too ambitious. In this case, to get to the top ten in any sector, you need to work seriously and for a long time.
This is normal. This happens if a person wants a lot, but so far he is at the very beginning of the path.
But it happens that you, frankly, start your life. The truth is that letting life take its course can sometimes lead to less than pleasant results. nine0189 Why this happened is a good question, but it is better to deal with it separately. Now it is more important to figure out how to change the situation.
It may be that the Wheel turned out to be beautiful and neat, even - all sectors are on 9-10
This speaks of two things at once:
and timely pay attention to all important tasks. nine0189 2. But at the same time, the question arises: is it possible that you set small and weak goals and tasks in your life? Isn't it time to take a swing at something big and interesting? Something that would add brightness, joy, happiness and meaning to life?
You can analyze endlessly, but one analysis will not make life better. Therefore, do not make the usual mistake and do not stop at this step. Analyzing the result is only half the exercise. nine0003
And then it's time to figure out how to find that very balance and make your life easier, more enjoyable and more interesting.
Consider whether there are areas that are interconnected and influence each other.
Sometimes changes in one area will lead to changes in another. And it will be great if you find such magic keys that open up new opportunities in all directions at once.
For example, sometimes moving to another city (a change in the "What's around") can significantly affect other areas of life - Career, Family, Environment. nine0003
It's time to outline what to strive for in the near future.
Of course, I would like the results of the assessment on the Wheel of Balance in all spheres of life to aspire to the maximum, to 10 at once.
But let's be realistic. Sometimes you have to give up something.
It happens that the Family wants a child, but in this case it is very likely that the Career will sag.
Or, for example, a strong breakthrough in a Career can cost Health or Family. Do you really need it, or maybe it's better to slow down and set more realistic goals? nine0003
Think: what will your Wheel be like in six months? And in a year? Which areas should be “pulled up”, and in which areas can you agree to less? What is most important to you?
Directly on the resulting drawing, mark with a dotted line how you would like your Balance Wheel to look.
Select 3-4 areas and outline goals and objectives in them that will lead to the desired changes. What exactly needs to be done?
A correctly formulated goal should contain:
Also, be sure to check your goals and objectives for "sustainability". In simple terms: imagine that the goals have been achieved, and think about whether this will really be right and good for you and the people close to you.
The Wheel of Balance technique is commonly used in coaching to assess the current state of life in general.
But in fact, you can use this method of analysis for any task where you need to evaluate and compare a large number of directions. nine0189 If you want to best distribute your energy and time in any project, just think about what areas you need to take into account, and make a Balance Wheel in these areas.
For example.
1. Emotional development and social interactions.
2. Household skills.
3. Physical development.
4. Fine motor skills.
5. Logic.
6. Speech.
7. Creativity.
8. The world around.
1. Health.
2. Beauty and sexuality.
3. Relationships, supporting environment.
4. Nutrition.
5. Appearance.
