65: pie of life
The Pie of Life, or sometimes called the wheel of life, exercise is a popular tool in psychology, coaching, and self-help. The idea originated from spiritual leader, Paul J. Meyer, who created the Pie of Life in the 1960s as a way to help people create goals that supported their overall health.
The circular shape of the Pie of Life is all about balance. In a fairly-portioned pie, no one slice should be larger than another. But of course, there's always a fight for the larger slice, just as in life, we tend to focus more on certain areas (work, money, maybe) than others (family, adventure). By scoring each area, the Pie of Life exercise will help you identify where additional focus might be needed, likely to be ones that are leaving you feeling dissatisfied. Give each area a score from zero to ten, with zero being 'least satisfied' and ten being 'most satisfied', marking with a cross on the axis.
After evaluating the two lowest categories, create 1-2 SMART goals. SMART goals stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Defining these parameters as they pertain to your goal helps ensure that your objectives are attainable within a certain time frame.
