Place a point by the number that corresponds to the level of energy you devote to each category. Then connect the points to form a “wheel”. There are no right or wrong wheels, but this will give you an accurate picture of where you spend your energy! A balanced life does not mean having a 10 or even a 5 in each category. Everyone is different with different schedules and demands. Your “wheel” may change depending on the week or month. What’s important is for you to realize what’s in and out of balance in your current life. What occupies the most time throughout your day?
