This simple
test will help you discover how in or out of balance your life
is at the moment, and those areas where you need
invest more if you want to avoid the problems of over working,
stress and work related ill health. Step 1
You need to draw up is list of the areas that make
up or life (or you wish would make the areas of your life).
One of them will be work and we have included that for you.
Here are ideas for the others: mental health,physical health,
leisure time, relaxation, family, husband/wife/partner, spirituality,
self-development, career development, home/lifestyle, travel,study,
voluntary work, community, friends/socialising. You can choose
from this list or add your own. Step 2
Write one area at the end of each spoke. Step 3
Now beginning with work, decide how invested you
are in each area in turn.Invested means giving time and energy
(both physical and mental) to that area. You need to rate
each area of investment on a scale of 1 (little or no investment)
to 10 fully invested. Step 4
Once you have decided on your level count the markers on
that spoke from the
middle towards the outer rim of the wheel. So if you feel
your investment in
work is 7 then you will count 7 markers from the centre
along that spoke and
then mark it with an X. Do this for each spoke in turn.
When you have all 8
spokes marked you will have a picture of the balance of
your life.
