Whilst work-life balance was once represented by the idea of clocking out and switching off, a world of smartphones, emails and constant deadlines has left many UK workers struggling to truly disconnect from the pressures of working life. In a culture that often glorifies productivity, it can become easy to normalise overworking or managing substantial stress. Our assumptions and habits around work can easily become engrained unless we take a step back every once in a while.
The ‘Wheel of Life’ exercise is designed to help you take a “helicopter view” of your life and establish whether your current balance of different life domains is one that supports your wellbeing, happiness and quality of life. It can be a great first step in helping you to evaluate where you are now, where you would like to be and some of the steps that might help you to close this gap.
