The Wheel of Life® (or Wellness Wheel) activity is a useful task to undertake to gain a ‘helicopter view’ of how your life currently presents or feels to you. Commonly used by professional health and wellness coaches, it helps you consider each area of your life in turn and assess what's working well for you, and also what may currently be ‘off balance’. As such, it helps you to identify areas that need more attention.

​

The Wheel of Life is powerful because it gives you a vivid visual representation of the way your life is currently, compared with the way you'd ideally like it to be. It is called the "Wheel of Life" because each area of your life is mapped on a circle, like the spokes of a wheel. The concept was originally created by Paul J. Meyer, founder of Success Motivation® Institute, Inc.
