Visual assessment tool for evaluating life alignment across domains

Core Idea: The Wheel of Life is a circular diagram divided into segments representing major life areas, allowing visual assessment of how aligned your actions are with your values in each domain.

Key Elements

• Structure and implementation:

  1. Draw a circle divided into nine segments (or customize number based on needs)
  2. Label each segment with a key life domain
  3. Rate alignment in each area (how well current actions match personal values)
  4. Visually fill in each segment proportionally to alignment level
  5. Identify areas of strength and opportunity for improvement

• Standard life domains (can be customized):

  • Health: Body, Mind, Soul
  • Work: Mission, Money, Growth
  • Relationships: Family, Romance, Friends

• Benefits:

  • Creates visual representation of life balance
  • Identifies areas of misalignment requiring attention
  • Provides holistic view across multiple domains
  • Serves as foundation for targeted improvement efforts
  • Easily repeatable to track progress over time

• Best practices:

  • Focus on alignment rather than just satisfaction
  • Repeat periodically (quarterly or biannually)
  • Use consistent domains for tracking progress
  • Follow with action planning for low-rated areas
