Health -Your physical health as well as your lifestyle.Finance - How you’re doing in your finances.This is considered a crucial segment as work/studies makes up a big portion of our waking lives. Use ‘Career’ for employees, ‘Business’ for entrepreneurs, and ‘Studies’ for students. Career/ Business/Studies - The name of this segment depends on what’s applicable to you now.These 10 segments are listed in no priority order as they are all important to live your best life: I have since created a 10-segment wheel as you can see in the diagram below.

After a while though, I realized that there are other important areas that are left out in an 8-segment wheel. When I first used the life wheel with my clients, I used an 8-segment wheel. The life wheel lets you spot gaps in your life right away so that you can intervene and work on the low scoring areas before it’s too late. You may subconsciously know that you’re putting an area of your life on hold, but this neglect may not be obvious. Subsequently, you have no real call to action. After all, it’s hard to know how you’re doing in your life when you’re focused on day-to-day tasks. The most useful part of the life wheel is the visual representation of how you’re doing in life. At the end, you will get a web-like diagram that gives you a visual representation of how you’re doing in life. After you rate each segment, you mark out your scores on the wheel and connect the dots. 0 is the lowest score and 10 is the highest score. They can be recreation, spiritual, or others.Įach segment comes with a scale of 0-10 where you rate how well you are doing in it right now. There are many variants of the life wheel, with common segments being career/studies, family, love, friends, finance, and health. It is essentially a circle divided into segments, usually 8, that represent the key areas of your life. The Life Wheel is a tool that gives you a snapshot of how you’re doing in your life now.
