STEP TWOJoin the dots from one spoke to the next.
Now reflect: What would a ride on this wheel feel like?
DOES BALANCE BOOST ENERGY?It’s simple. The bigger, rounder and more
balanced your wheel, the less energy it takes for you to move it – so,
you have more energy available
to invest in other things. Now, to recoup some of that
lost energy…

Consider…
How long has it taken to get yourself into your current
situation?
Which aspect of your Wheel of Life, if improved, would have the greatest
positive impact on your overall experience?

Relax and create the space to dream a little.
If the priority aspect of your life already was at 10, what three things would be happening?
1.2. 3.
STEP FIVE
Consider….
What small action steps can you take
toward improved performance and/or heightened level of
satisfaction?
Commit to yourself by when you will do at least one of
these actions.
Create a way to hold yourself accountable.
STEP SIX
What short-term goal can you set for yourself?
Take a moment to reflect.
Write it down and keep it in front of you until achieved.
STEP SEVEN
Celebrate
each and every win you achieve.
STEP EIGHT
