How to make your own life chart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Simply list the measures shown in the table, and give yourself a score based on the criteria shown at the bottom of this page. Then compare them some time afterwards. The chart below shows them in a circle – but it doesn’t really matter, the most important thing is to see how honest you are with your current situation and to be able to compare ‘like for like’ with something that has changed significantly in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>The table below shows how life changed before and after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s meant to be fun, so regardless of the outcome, think of a reward for yourself before and after doing the test. It is meant to span the months from when life was \u2018normal\u2019 before – to \u2018normal\u2019 afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if you have had long term addictions, then do the chart before actually stopping. Then revisit it some time afterwards, such as 3 months. The time in between isn\u2019t the subject of this test and there are some resources on Doogle.com which may help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep the chart private – it\u2019s for you. Also – if you score 0 or 10 then ask yourself if that\u2019s true? If you are alive and breathing and reading this – then it\u2019s not \u20180\u2019. Likewise, for 10, is there any room for improvement? Life is dynamic so things get better and worse and that\u2019s life. Try to evaluate yourself when you\u2019re calm and undisturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If any of the values below don\u2019t apply, try to find an equivalent. Otherwise miss in out. The least it can get to is a self-sufficient hermit (with internet access). However, since some overlap, try to draw a line between them. For example, if you share an income, then put it in \u2018Finances\u2019 and concentrate on your \u2018Family\u2019 relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For all of them try to think of a minimum of three things to be grateful for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Family<\/strong> Physical Wellbeing<\/strong> Finances<\/strong> Five year outlook<\/strong> Career<\/strong> Home<\/strong> Friends and Community<\/strong> Positivity and Resourcefulness<\/strong> We all know how to check our bank balance, but do you know how to check your Life Balance?

How are your relationships with partners, parents, siblings or children? Are the relationships \u2018good\u2019 or \u2018toxic\u2019. Are there areas where you can build a bridge, areas you could encourage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How\u2019s your health? Do you feel young or old? Do you \u2018dance out of bed\u2019 or feel like your stuck to the mattress?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do you live to your financial limit or save for a rainy day? This is not about your bank balance but more about your attitude to money. Does money have a positive or negative impact on the other areas listed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are there dark clouds looming or can you see yourself in 5 years time? If so how do you feel about it? Are there small issues now which could grow to make a difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you spend a large proportion of your life at work then it will have an impact on your life in general. Does it feel worthwhile or is it simply a means to an end? Are their opportunities for personal growth – and if so, would you take them? Would you want to start your own business (on the side)? Can you help others at work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s your home environment like? Do you feel secure? Is it a mess? Are there countless small jobs which you put-off. When you get home, how do you feel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re meant to be social. We all need friendship and companionship. How are those friendships in terms of numbers or more importantly quality? Does your social circle inspire you. Do your friends bring you energy or take it away?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How do you deal with life\u2019s hardships? Are you easily deterred from picking yourself up? Do you find positive alternatives when things go wrong or do you shy away from being hurt twice?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
