“It’s not death that concerns me, because it’s a fact. What concerns me is what I do with my life while my death has not yet happened, so that this life is not trivial, superficial, futile, and small.” – Mario Sergio Cortella
Do you want a simple tool that makes you reflect on how you’ve been living your life? The Wheel of Life is a great option!
Draw a circle divided into six or eight important categories in your life. Family, Career, Finances, Health, Spirituality, Education, Friends, Culture, and Love are some examples of composition, but the approach is flexible and allows for customization according to what each individual wants to analyze.
Once you’ve categorized your tool, mark a scale from zero (at the center) to ten (at the edge). With the segmented and labeled circle in hand, think about how much attention you’ve been giving to each slice and place an “X” at the corresponding number. This way, each category receives a rating indicating how much of a priority it has been in your daily life.
The goal is to reflect on it and create an action plan to achieve a more satisfying balance in the future. First and foremost, ask yourself if the result makes you happy or if you would like it to be different.
