Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:08:53 +0000 http://startupprincess.com/wordpress/balancing-the-wheel-of-life/#comment-67916 I would like to say thanks a lot for letting me know of this tool. It really changes many things around and especially - the relationships with relatives. My wheel now looks a lot more of round shape than what it was before. By the way, there is a program on the subject that's called the same, which I personally really liked and would recommend. I like using your figure, but since my laptop is with me literally all the time, I found using the program more convenient.

I plan on using this site to share information with counselors at a specific transitional assistance program for homeless veterans that I am involved with, and to share what has worked for me with others who might be interested. I also wanted to ask if it was possible for me to embed your wheel of life graphics into my website. I would also say that this has been with agreement form yourself, provide a link to your website on the same page and make reference to your web site in the bibliography. Hi,

I have had the opportunity to use it with small groups. What we do is have each person in the group list different areas of their lives. I give examples (career, family..) but I don’t tell them what has to be in the list. I do tell them that if they have similar things (ie exercise and nutrition) that they should group them together into a main category (health). I then have them make a circle and draw as many pie pieces as they have categories. Then they draw a semi-circle in each category representing where they feel they are at on a scale of 0 to 10 (zero being the center). Then I have them choose two categories and set goals in those categories. They don’t have to choose their lowest categories. In fact, I recommend holding off on those until they see success in something that might be easier. I then have them break into smaller groups of two or three and share their goals with each other. This exercise also provides people with something to focus on if they have a coach. A good follow up exercise is to break each category down into sub categories. For example: If you are having great difficulty with finances, you can draw a circle and put pie slices in it that say Budget, Retirement, Income, Emergency Fund, Life Insurance, Debt, Investments, Mortgage, etc… and rate each of those on the 10 scale. This will help you to focus even more on specific areas within your budget that you need to set goals on. This really is a great tool. I have had the opportunity to use it with small groups.
