How is Your Well-being?

Wellbeing is not just the absence of disease or illness. It is a complex combination of a person’s physical, mental, emotional and social health factors. Wellbeing is strongly linked to happiness and life satisfaction. In short, wellbeing could be described as how you feel about yourself and your life.

One way of looking at this is through the wheel of life

Balancing Your Wheel of Life
As Humans we have common basic human needs, these are demonstrated here in the 'Wheel of Life.'
Imagine for a moment that each spoke of your life wheel is rated 0-10, 0 being couldn't be worse, and 10 meaning couldn't be better.
Rate your contentment with each of the areas of your life. As you can imagine if one or more areas of your wheel is less than be desired, you may feel a few 'bumps' as you precede at a steady speed through life. But what happens when your life picks up speed, (as it does more often than not!) You could be in serious danger of your wheels falling off, at the very least you'd be in for a very rough ride.
Not a comforting thought!
