Have you ever wondered how full your life is? Not? So the time has come. If you still do not know what the "Wheel of Life" is, then probably your balance is not enough. Only people who work daily on their shortcomings can enjoy their existence. Below you will learn how to make your life complete and balanced.
What is the Wheel of Life?
Did you like this day? Was the week busy? And how was your month? If you cannot give answers to these questions, since your life is too boring and there is very little new in it, then you should think about a balance.
Imagine your life as a wheel divided by spokes. Each sector is one of the areas. Most people on our planet ride on one-sided or curved "wheels." Why? Few people know how to devote time to everything at once. Sometimes a person immerses himself in work, and sometimes a new novel captures him. Such interruptions cannot but affect the general picture of being. A person who spends all his time at work is often sick, communicates little with his family and friends. As a result, he gets promoted, and in addition, divorce and loneliness. To prevent this from happening, you should sit down, focus, draw a circle and divide it into sectors. Below we provide a description of how the life of a happy person should be filled.
Health
Only with age do people realize that the most important thing in life. Health is impossible to buy, it is very difficult to restore. You need to take care of it from a young age, relax and be less nervous. When drawing the wheel of life, the first section must be given to health. Think about what you are doing to regain your strength and keep your body fit. You can say that you do not need this, because you already have a good figure. But how is it given to you? Some people sincerely believe that it’s easier to go on a diet than go to the gym. But this is not so. A person should get enough protein, fat, carbohydrates and vitamins. If any element is missing, it will affect the appearance: acne, dandruff will appear, nails will peel off or hair will fall out. In order to prevent such a development of events, you should go in for sports at least twice a week. You need to choose what gives you pleasure: jogging, going to yoga or swimming.
Love family
The second sector of the wheel of life should be given to loved ones. It is your family that should always be a priority for you. Relatives can support, comfort, caress, or help. Without them, our life will be sad and lonely. Of course, you can always make friends, but even the best friend or girlfriend will not be able to replace mom or sister, so keep in touch with loved ones. If you live in the same city with them, stop by at least twice a week, call and ask twice how your parents are doing. The elderly will enjoy your care.
Be sure to find a soul mate. Yes, relatives are important, but a person must create his own family. If you already have a loved one, spend more time with him. Sometimes you can meet couples where people seem to live together, but they don’t even speak well, they don’t have time for this. But to watch TV shows ... Know how to prioritize. Set yourself the task of going out with your soulmate twice a week. If you have your own family, then take out more often for a walk both your loved one and the child.
Income
Financial position plays an important role. Even those people who believe that money is not the main thing in life still need it. Therefore, give your income sector in the wheel. How much do you get? Do you have enough to satisfy your needs?
We all have different requests. For one, it’s enough to eat tasty food, and the other can’t live without constant rest in warm countries.
The Wheel of Life is a technique for analyzing your current situation. This technique helps a person determine his starting point and understand what he really wants. When a person fully outlines the needs he needs, it will become clear what needs to be done next. Perhaps you are now earning 50,000 rubles. And if you understand that for a happy life you need 100,000 rubles, then you need to change something. Think, perhaps, it is worth changing jobs or finding yourself a part-time job. There are always options, they just need to be seen.
Career
You need to understand what you want to do. Only in its place can a person work well. But unfortunately, many people are not trying to find their calling. They go to the first job they get, get used to it and no longer want to move on. To avoid this, you should pay attention to life planning. The wheel of life will help you understand what needs to be changed. If you are unhappy with your work and understand that in the near future the situation will not change, then you need to find the strength to leave. It may seem like a bold idea to you, but believe me, the longer you work in your unloved job, the less time you have to realize your talents. Sometimes it is not necessary to radically change the profession, it will be enough to change the company and the employer. Perhaps in another place your abilities will be appreciated.
Relaxation
Look at how you spend your weekend. Many people prefer a “seal" vacation. That is, they are lying, drinking beer and watching TV. Some spend nights at clubs. Both that and another it is possible to afford, but as an exception. After a good rest, a person’s working capacity increases, the strength of the mountain appears to collapse, and compile a report - just spit. Why, then, did many employees who came to the office on Monday complain that the weekend was fast and that they really couldn’t relax? It is not a matter of quantity, but of rest quality. The best way to relax is to be alone with nature. Go to the forest, take a walk and breathe in the fresh air in the park. This will allow you to break out of the bustle of the city and get away from the forever flickering monitor.
"Wheel of Life" is a methodology of analysis and life planning that helps a person understand how mediocre sometimes we relax. Make a promise to diversify the weekend. How? Go on the nature, go on excursions, attend the opening of exhibitions or at theatrical premieres. Diversify leisure activities - this will help you feel the course of life.
Religion
How to make a wheel of life? Of course, wheel sectors should consist of what is important to you. But often a person does not know what is truly valuable to him, therefore he neglects religion. Not even religion, but faith. This is not about any particular religion. You can be an atheist, no one imposes moral principles and values on you. But the fact is that a person lives easier if he believes in something.
If you do not believe in God, then you can rely on the power of the Universe or on the Higher Mind. There is no difference here. The fact is that you need to find that part of your soul that you can turn to for help, and which will believe that everything can always change for the better. How can spirituality be developed? You can go to the temple, meditate, pray, or roam the park alone.
Self development
Another component of the wheel of life is the self-improvement sector. A person must strive somewhere, constantly learn something new. This is necessary for humanity to evolve. But many people consider the acquisition of skills and their development too energy-intensive. It’s much easier to sit on the couch and do nothing than to study new articles about modern technology, medicine or read historical literature. Everyone comes to this earth to fulfill their mission. But people cannot do this simply because they do not understand in which sphere they can prove themselves. To balance your life, you need to find a hobby. An occupation that you like will make life more fulfilling, open up new facets of personality, and, possibly, grow into something more - very often a hobby brings quite a decent income.
Draw conclusions
We have proposed several options for sectors that will help you draw a wheel of balance of life. How to make your own scheme?
Draw a circle, divide it into sectors and write in each sector the sphere of life that is important to you. In each sector put a point. It should be so close to the circle, how much time you devote to work in this area. Once you have completed this task, connect the dots and see what areas of life you are not paying attention to. In the diagram, such dips are especially visible.
We set goals
After you have made your conclusions, decide where to move on. The Wheel of Life technique is suitable for people who think they are at a standstill. This sometimes happens when life changes too quickly and a person cannot find his place in it and accept the changes.
You have a circle, and you know in which areas you have obvious failures. Now you need to balance life. Set yourself goals to pay more attention to sectors where the point is too close to the center. You need to write the specific actions that you are going to take to improve your life. What could it be? Everything will depend on the area. If you want to improve your health, then you need to start by going to the doctor, by buying a subscription to the gym, or by reviewing your diet. If you want to improve relations with your family, you need to allocate time to spend it with family.
It should be remembered that the wheel of life needs to be drawn every year or every six months, if you understand that you need it. Using a simple diagram, you will keep track of how balanced your life is, and if you see a glitch somewhere, then fix it quickly.
Gradually, you will learn to draw the wheel of life in your head, and you will no longer need paper.
