The Power of Perspective: The Life Wheel as a Visual Companion.  

In our fast-paced world, making intentional decisions often requires conscious contemplation.

At The Beacon Collective, we use a simple little tool that punches above its weight when it comes to crossing thresholds. 

Introduction to The Life Wheel.

The Life Wheel is a visual map of eight core areas of overall wellbeing, including: health, relationships, career, and personal growth. 

Scientific research has proven that visualization in the form of self-assessment can enhance self-awareness, a vital predictor of behavioral change and overall satisfaction. 

Using The Life Wheel to Contemplate Decisions. 

The Life Wheel acts as a mirror, offering clarity on your current situation. Rating satisfaction across its eight segments helps identify where your energy flows and where further attention might be needed. 

Here are some examples of the types of questions we help clients navigate with this tool: 

• How might shifting my perspective on success influence my choices around work, relationships, and overall health?
• How will dedicating more time to my family affect my personal growth and sense of purpose?
• How do my financial goals align with my values and the lifestyle I want to create?
• In what areas of my life am I holding on too tightly, and what could I release to invite more balance? 

Embracing Imbalance as Growth.

The Life Wheel is not about perfection. Instead, it helps us recognize that imbalance is natural and part of the human experience. Sometimes, certain areas can require more energy and focus, albeit only temporarily. 

Celebrate What's Working.

While it’s important to identify areas needing attention, don’t forget to celebrate where you’re thriving. Recognizing your success and what’s working is just as important in anchoring your decision-making. 

To Sum It All Up.

The Life Wheel is a simple yet profound tool to bring awareness, balance, and intentionality into your decision-making process. When approached with curiosity and compassion, it becomes a trusted guide on your journey toward a more aligned and fulfilling life. 

Which area of your Life Wheel is calling for your attention? 

Until Next Time,  

With Clarity and Care,
