The Wheel of Life divides into eight categories:

  • Personal Growth
  • Career
  • Academics/College Life
  • Fun and Recreation
  • Relationships
  • Physical Environment
  • Health
  • Money

Rate your satisfaction in each of these areas of your life (on a scale of 1-10; 0 is low, 10 is high).

To visualize these ratings, print or download the diagram below and draw a line across each wedge that matches your level of satisfaction.

pie chart diagram described above

Look at your wheel.

Which areas of your life contribute to your satisfaction? Which detract?

How satisfied are you with your life in general? How balanced is it?

What do you want to change?
