NO RE SEM BLAN CE TO A

Well, the good news is that there's
definitely room for improvement.
It might be that some areas of your
life are scoring low but that, actually,
you're quite happy with them. If
this is the case, re-adjust your score
so that it's higher and reflects your
overall level of satisfaction, then reassess the shape of your Wheel.
If this is not the case, and things
are genuinely out of the sync for you,
then something needs to change.
Perhaps you feel tied-in to a certain
responsibility which leaves little
space for other areas in your life.
Each day may feel like a struggle.
It can be hard to know where to
start with changing things. But,

Congratulations - you have mastered
the unique art of balancing work

with a little focus, planning, and
prioritisation, things can improve
fairly quickly.
ACTION: Look at all the areas
on your Wheel - rather than trying
to address all the areas at once,
pinpoint the area that, if changes
were made, it would have the biggest
impact on you. Perhaps it's the
linchpin to improving your scores in
all the other areas. For example, if
you changed job, would it free up
more time to focus on your personal
life, allow you to grow, and improve
your long-term finances, all at once?
What small steps can you take in
the next three weeks, which would
help you start making changes in the
life area you've identified?

This shape of Wheel would
usually suggest that you're
satisfied with very few, if any,
areas of your life. Just like
the shape of your Wheel, you
may feel life is hemming you
in, and that little is going well.
ACTION: Consider which
two areas might have the
biggest impact on your
happiness and focus on
improving those scores.

Your Wheel might become
a bit 'spiky' in the interim,
as some areas change and
others don't, but adjusting
these priority areas should
have a positive knock-on
effect. So, committing to a
'date night' once a week could
improve your relationship,
for example. Sometimes we
need to take a good hard look
at our lives and implement
change. This is a wake up call.

You're in for a bumpy ride
but don't worry, this shape of
Wheel is very common. Some
areas might score highly,
with other areas receiving
scores of four and under.
This is because we often
prioritise areas such as
career and health & fitness,
leaving little time for fun
and close relationships.
ACTION: Consider where
to let go of one thing you do
in a high scoring area to make

room for an action related
to a low scoring area. For
example, could you sacrifice
one evening at the gym for
seeing your family or friends,
or going on a date?
Alternatively, rather than
seeing friends every evening
or weekend, what could you
do to improve your fitness or
personal growth? One area
might come down in score,
but with one area coming up
as a result, you're achieving a
broader sense of balance.

with your personal life! You appear to
dedicate an equal amount of time
to all areas of your life. This takes
self-awareness, organisation, and
commitment. While everything is
currently aligned perfectly, don't
panic if this isn't always the case
- sometimes we need to let things go
out of balance so that we can attend
to the priority in hand.
From time to time, it's OK for things
to be off-kilter - just ensure you keep
making time for the most important
parts of your life.
ACTION: Complete the Wheel of
Life exercise every three to six months
to check you're still on track. If you
see one area taking over, or another
being sacrificed, consider a couple
of actions you could take to rectify
the balance.
