Creating a Plan for 2009
Michelle over at Integrated Mom recently wrote acomparing her life to the mangaled tire on her SUV. Just picturing it is enough to stress anyone out, but when she offered the link to the Wheel of Life by the Coaches Training Institute, I jumped at the chance to see what my life looked like.
And, well, it isn’t pretty.
The Wheel of Life gives you a visual snapshot of different areas of your life and just how satisfied you are in those areas. According to my graph (see above), my life needs work. If you look at the chart below, you will get a better understanding. The higher the percentage in a category te more fullfilled you are in that area of your life.
| Career | 83% | 42% | Personal Growth | |
| Fun and Recreation | 0% | 0% | Health & Well-being | |
| Money and Finances | 0% | 62% | Friendships & Family | |
| Phys. Environment | 22% | 88% | Love/Romance |
My life needs some serious work. I am going to spend today and tomorrow mapping out a plan for my life and what I need to do in order to live the life that I want to live.
I have to admit, I am actually a little embarassed by my wheel. I have neglected so much of my life- fun, money, health- it’s kind of sad.
So how will you enter the New Year? What are your plans for 2009? Let me know.
You’re a brave woman – sharing the specific areas for improvement. I only posted my mangled wheel!
Let’s support one another in getting our wheels aligned. Step 1, get you out here – that may touch on a few areas, huh?
What you see as brave, I see as insane! LOL. I definitely know that movcing to a cheaper place would fix so many of my issues, and moving to a place that has nice weather would fix my health. I definitely can use the support so I am all for being a support system for each other. Let me know what I can do to help.
You ladies are both very brave.
I plan on using the wheel for a New Year’s post on Reign as well. It’s a great tool for making one stop dead in one’s tracks and take serious stock of one’s life. Although I’m not sure if I’ll be brave enough to post an image of mine. It’s in a sorry state. ;-D
Kristina, I’m so glad to hear you are making moves for the better…but you’re leaving NY when I just discovered that you were here! We absolutely MUST get together soon! Hit me on e-mail and let’s set a date, woman! Drinks, brunch, lunch, I’m down for whatever!
