Hi all, Happy day. This blog is about a new concept from one of the very famous psychotherapies called Neural Linguistic Programming (NLP). Let me start by giving an introduction to it.

Most of us might look very happy and successful externally but there is always a deep emptiness in our subconscious mind. People might miss their school days, college life, night stays with friends, family outings, kids, fun time, month-end movies, etc. But none of us are aware of how to fill this emptiness. Because, in this mechanical world, we are very busy in our daily routine.

We don’t have sufficient time to assess whether we live our lives in a balanced way or not. Especially in a fast phased industry like Information Technology, we are tightly coupled with our daily tasks. Most of us are not satisfied with the way we balance our life.

Now let us get into the concept called Wellness Vision Planning also known as Wheels of Life, which will help us to live a balanced life.

Wheels of Life

The above image depicts the concept of Wellness Vision Planning. As per the Wheels of Life concept, we can categorize/split life into 11 major segments. They are

1) Business / Career / Studies

2) Finance / Wealth

3) Health / Fitness

4) Social Life / Friends

5) Family

6) Romance / Love

7) Recreation / Fun

8) Contribution

9) Personal Life

Now we have got a clear picture of the wheels of life with the help of these 11 detailed segments. It’s time to assess our balancing level.

Let us try a small activity:

Follow the below instructions given below:

  • Take a new white sheet and pen.
  • Now rate each segment of your life on a scale of 1 to 10 (where 1 is the minimum level and 10 is the maximum level).
  • Take at least 2 – 3 mins to rate a single segment (around 30 mins in total)
  • Take this activity when you are alone in a relaxed situation
  • You need not share this sheet with anyone, it is only for self-assessment purposes
  • Rate all the segments honestly

Once if you are done with the activity, relax (for 5-10 mins) because you were in deep thinking at least for the past 20 mins. Now take the sheet.

  • Count the number of segments where the rating is less than 5 and fill them under the need attention category.
  • If the rating is exactly 5 or 6 then fill them under need progress.
  • If the rating is above 6 then fill them under the satisfied category.

For Example :

Now it is time to have a look at your need attention and need progress segments. Take today as day -1 and prepare a small action plan to score better next time in the need attention and need progress segment and execute them daily. Identify your short-term and long-term goals for these segments and achieve them one by one.

Try to take this assessment frequently (at least once a month) to track your progress level. Share this wonderful concept with your surroundings and help them to balance their life in a better way.

If you honestly implement this technique you can see some better changes in your life. It would help you to live your life happily.

As a result, you can show high performance in your official & personal life. If we are happy, we can make our surroundings happy, if all the surroundings are happy then the entire world will be happy.

Let the change begin with you. All the best!

Happy Day 🙂!
