A clear vision starts with an honest look at where you are today. Reviewing the main areas of your life helps you see which areas feel fulfilling and which need attention, so you can plan with intention rather than reacting to whatever feels most urgent.
Choose Your Life Areas
Common areas include health, relationships, work, finances, personal growth, creativity, home and fun. Adjust the list so it reflects your life.
Rate Your Satisfaction
Rate each area from one to ten based on how satisfied you feel right now. There are no right answers; this is a snapshot, not a judgement.
Notice Balance and Gaps
Look at the overall picture. Which areas are thriving? Which feel neglected? This awareness becomes the foundation for your vision.
Practice
Draw a simple wheel with your life areas and rate each one. Write two sentences about what stands out most.
Key Takeaways
The three ideas to carry forward from this lesson are: choose your life areas, rate your satisfaction, and notice balance and gaps. You do not need to master all of them at once. Pick the one that feels most relevant to your situation right now and apply it before the next lesson.
Quick Reflection
Ask yourself where the ideas in The Life Areas Review already show up in your own work, and where they are missing. Write down one example of each. Naming a real example makes the lesson concrete and shows you exactly where to apply it first.
How This Connects
This lesson is part of the Where You Are Now module. The next lesson, Reflecting on Recent Years, builds directly on what you have just practised, so keep your notes from this exercise close by. If something here felt unclear, re-read the section that tripped you up before moving forward rather than pushing on.
Before You Move On
Before you move on, write two or three lines in your notes: what you tried, what felt awkward and what you would repeat. Those short notes turn Life Vision & Goal Mapping from something you read into something you practise, and they give you a record to compare against when you reach the final module.
