This exercise is perfect for exploring what areas of your life may be unbalanced and need more nurturing and attention.

The Circle of Life Exercise

1.  Draw a large circle with 12 spokes.

2.  For each spoke, write in an element that is important to you in your life.  Some elements to consider adding to your circle are career, laughter, fresh air and exercise, creativity, relationships, stable finances, social life, spirituality, home environment, beauty, education, healthy foods, or home cooking.

3.  Consider how satisfied you are with each area in your life.  Probe and ask yourself some questions about each area.  Think of the past year and the ways you did (or didn’t) attend to those parts of your life.

Do you have a desire to continue learning and intellectually growing? Has it been a while since you’ve laughed? Are you living on candy and caffeine to get you through the day?When did you last spend time in silence or in prayer?Have you struggled with money and budgeting without addressing it?

4.  Place a dot on each line that represents your relative level of satisfaction.  Putting a dot at the very center, where all spokes come together, means completely UNSATISFIED and the edge of the circle means completely SATISFIED.
