What Is A Wheel Of Life?

Living a satisfying life is about more than just achieving wealth and status. It's about finding inner peace, contentment, and joy from knowing who you are and what you stand for. It's developing meaningful relationships with those around you and understanding your values so that you can live a life that is truly authentic to you.

To assess an individual’s level of satisfaction, life coaches use the wheel of life. This tool helps identify areas where the individual needs to focus on development and as a benchmark for measuring progress.

The wheel typically consists of eight sections — family, health, social life, spiritual life, career, finance, leisure, and personal growth — which can be filled out with a score from one to ten. 

When completing the wheel of life assessment, individuals are asked to reflect on each area of their life and rate it from one to ten.

 For example, if an individual feels a five in the ‘health’ section, they are probably minimally satisfied with that area of their life. Areas that score lower than eight can be areas they may want to focus on improving or developing more.
