ACTIVITY 3The activity below is a simple exercise, designed to help highlight the areas in your life that may need some attention. Complete the activity by following the instructions below.

InstructionsThe six sections of the wheel below represent a balanced life. Imagine that the centre of the wheel represents zero and the outer end of each spoke represents 10. Each spoke therefore represents a scale from 0-10.

3.1 Put a cross on each spoke to represent a mark out of 10 for how satisfied you are with each aspect of your life (0 = not satisfied at all; 10 = completely satisfied). Join the crosses you marked with a curved or straight line. This represents the wheel of your life. How bumpy would the ride be?

Note: Bear in mind that this activity is purely a reflection of how you are feeling about your life right now. Your feelings can change day by day, week by week and as such it is important to be aware that this life-balance wheel simply captures your perceptions at this moment in time.

Important Note: You must print this page out in order to complete this task and obtain a visual picture of your wheel. You do not need to submit your printed page. However, you should summarize your ratings from each spoke on the following page.

Please note the number between 0 and 10 that you placed your cross on each spoke of your wheel: Fitness (Physical) : Mental Pursuits (Cognitive): Fun & Recreation (Emotional): Health and Nutrition (Physical): Positive thoughts about the future (Cognitive): Relationships (Emotional):

Important Notices – please read this before submitting your Assessment Book

Saving your Assessment Book

Whilst we take care to ensure that all received assessment books and assessment items are kept secure, we strongly recommend saving a copy of your work for your

own records. Unforeseen circumstances (although unlikely) may require you to resubmit an item of assessment. Thank you.

Marker’s Comments

We keep copies of assessed books in our records. If you are required to re-submit your Assessment Book due to a NYC result, please ensure you do not remove or edit

your original marker’s comments and feedback. Non-compliance with this requirement may result in cancellation of your enrolment.

NOT YET COMPETENTWhat you need to do if you are not yet competent (NYC)

If you have been marked Not Yet Competent (NYC) this means that you have not yet met all the requirements for this Unit. This may be because you have not given enough detail when answering all the questions, you may have left out a question or you may have answered some questions incorrectly.

Being NYC does not mean that you have to redo the whole unit. You simply need to resubmit the questions that the marker has asked you to as outlined in the Assessment Summary on the previous page. On this page the marker will have identified exactly which questions you need to resubmit. This page is not designed to give you feedback; it is simply to provide you with clear guidelines as to what you need to resubmit.

In your workbook, the marker will have given you feedback regarding the question(s) you need to resubmit. Feedback may be given in the Comments beside the question you need to resubmit and/or in the Assessor’s Comments Box at the end of each section.

Please do not change your original answers in your workbook. Your marker will need to look at your original answer and your resubmitted answer. To make a resubmission, enter your answers into the Entry Boxes on the following three pages. A new Entry Box begins on each page so you can choose how to layout your answers.

The most important thing is that you clearly identify the Section Number, Activity Number, Question Number and Page Number before each answer.

Space is provided for two resubmissions only. If your assessor does not mark your work as Competent by the second resubmission, then they will contact you to arrange any future work required for this unit.
