Wheel of Life Coaching Exercise

The Wheel of Life is a fantastic coaching tool that is used to help you prioritise and get unstuck. It’s based on the principle that all the areas of your life that are important to you, should be in balance. It’s no good having an amazing career, if you’re desperately unhappy in your relationship. Or if your finances are in order but you never do anything fun.

You choose the areas that are important to you, and then you score your current happiness levels on a scale of 1 to 10. Once each area is coloured in to the right level, you will get a wheel that might look something like this:

Most people end up with a ‘wonky wheel’ and this exercise will help you to create a smooth wheel, by looking at each area in detail. In short, the process is as follows: 

• Set clear goals for each area (what does 10/10 look like)
• Write down why that goal is important to you
• Think about the skills and strengths you have to help you with this goal
• Find out what is the first step you need to take
• Look at all the things you COULD do to achieve this goal
• Decide what you are actually going to do
• Think about what might stop you doing this
• Determine how motivated you are to do this
• And finally think about what would happen if you didn’t take action

Once you’ve done all of that you have a roadmap to success, and hopefully you will have a smooth wheel soon.
