How to make up the wheel of life balance?

Last time on specialized sites I increasingly came across a topic like wheel balance of life .

As this technique is considered one of the most effective methods for establishing order in life, I hasten to share it with you.

Moreover, it is extremely simple and does not require any special skills.

What is the balance of life balance wheel?

You are smart, so you do not need to tell me that everything in the human body is interconnected.

For example, not so long ago my friend's mom went to the hospital with severe abdominal pains.

Long-term studies of her internal organs gave nothing: both with the stomach, and with the intestines, and with the bilious and with everything else was order.

The reason was discovered when a young surgeon thought of sending Lyubov Ivanovna to a consultation with a traumatologist.

It turned out that my friend's mom suffers from a long-term birth trauma: she was dislocated more than 30 years ago by the neck of the hip when she gave birth to the eldest daughter.

And somehow this trauma caused abdominal pain.

She was helped by a special massage course.

The same happens in human life.

For example, difficulties in family life can be caused by health problems( you suffer from depression and bring your spouse to white heat) or vice versa - success at work( you were promoted and you spent so much time in the office that the spouse suspected havingyou have a novel on the side).

balance of life balance wheel helps you to identify the connection between different spheres of your life and to understand which of them is all right for you, and where it would not hurt to restore order.

This thing looks like this:

Preparatory stage for compiling the balance wheel

In the preparatory phase, you need to create a wheel template.

You can either print the already prepared template on the color printer( yes even the one that I showed you), or create your own using colored pencils.

Next, you need to identify the most important components of your life.

The classic version looks like this:

• family;
• health;
• career;
• Finance;
• personal development;
• leisure / entertainment.

But you have to define your most important spheres, and they may not coincide with the example that I brought.

"Life is really becoming happy when you build it only yourself."
Sophie Marceau

Young people who are not connected by marriage probably will add to this list "Love" or "Personal life" because the family for them is mother-father-sisters-brothers-grandparents.

Those who have a hobby, for example, do not represent their life without knitting or fishing, will also want to bring it into the wheel of life balance.

In general, you must create a full-fledged template, writing in it all the important components of your life.

Drawing the wheel balance of life

My wheel balance of life consists of 7 spheres: health, family, love, career, finance, personal development, recreation.

You see on the example of the given template that each sector is divided into seven divisions.

And here with a pencil of the appropriate color you need to paint over as many divisions as your life in this area is realized.

I'll show you by example:

1. Health.

   I do sports, try to eat right, do not have bad habits, drink enough water, I do not have chronic diseases, that is - I pay enough attention to health.

   I painted over 6 sections.

2. Family.

   Since I'm not yet married, my family is parents and brother.

   I have full mutual understanding with them, but due to the heavy workload, I do not spend too much time with them.

   In addition, I would like us to understand the meaning of the phrase "family vacation".

   Painted four sections.

3. Love.

   Again, due to a catastrophic lack of time, I do not spend much time in my personal life.

   While I have this sector took three divisions.

4. Career.

   I always knew that for me career growth is very important, so I will be spending a lot of time and energy on my work.

   From the planned plan, I did not retreat a step, achieved, as for me, quite good successes, so I dared to paint six divisions.

5. Finance.

   Money is such a thing, which is always missing.

   Since I can not say that I'm in poverty, and I'm not used to whining and complaining, but I can not buy everything I want, I decided to paint over four sections.

6. Personal development.

   A person who aspires to success simply can not but pay attention to his personal development.

   Reading books, watching videos or movies "for the soul", traveling are all important components of my life.

   I do not intend to quit self-development, even at gunpoint, so I have 6 divisions painted over( so as not to relax and strive for perfection).

7. Rest.

   But this is something that I'm sorely lacking.

   A full weekend, 8 mandatory hours of sleep - it's all in dreams.

   Reluctantly, she sketched two divisions: well, after all, I sleep sometimes, 🙂.

I recommend watching the video with one more example, how to compile the

wheel balance of life and how to work with it.

Onward!

How to work with the life balance wheel already compiled?

As you understand, drawing a wheel of vital balance is not enough.

The obtained results must first be analyzed, and then proceed to work with them.

Excellent results are considered if you have painted 7 or 6 bars.

So, this sphere of life is under control and nothing cardinally needs to be changed.

Good result - 3-5 painted sections.

Of course, there is something to work on, but I do not see any catastrophe in the family, financial or love spheres.

How to understand yourself: the advice of a practicing psychologist

But the bad result is when you painted less than two divisions or did not sketch a single one.

This means that it is this part of your life that will have to be changed and improved.

For example, I just need to rest more if I want to realize all my plans.

Today I'll try to lie early.

As you understand, I can not advise what you do with your life, without seeing your wheel balance of life, I can not.

You will have to act independently, depending on which of the sections the results turned out to be bad.

Suitable literature - the sea, even on this site you will find many useful articles that will help balance your life.

If you feel that you can not cope with the problem on your own, you can contact a psychologist or visit a couple of trainings.

It's not scary, not ashamed, but very useful. 🙂.

I hope wheel life balance will help you clean up your life.
