The domains of life

Doorway
Doorway

A simple visual tool for taking an honest snapshot of how your life is feeling right now.

Instead of focusing on just one goal or problem, it invites you to zoom out and see the whole picture—your health, relationships, work, growth, and sense of meaning—side by side. The aim isn’t perfection or balance at all times, but awareness. Awareness creates choice, and choice creates change.

How to use it

  1. Rate each domain
    For each area shown on the wheel, give yourself a score from 1–10 based on your current level of satisfaction—not where you think you should be, but where you truly are today.

  2. Trust your first instinct
    Don’t overanalyze. Your initial reaction is often the most honest signal.

  3. Look for patterns, not problems
    Notice which domains feel strong and which feel undernourished. One low score isn’t a failure—it’s information.

  4. Choose one place to focus
    Rather than trying to improve everything at once, select a single domain that would have the biggest positive ripple effect if it improved.

  5. Revisit regularly
    Life changes, and so will your scores. Repeating this exercise over time helps you track progress and stay aligned with what matters most.

Used consistently, the Domains of Life becomes less about judgment and more about direction—a quiet check-in that helps you live with intention instead of autopilot.
