Today I was revisiting my goals for the year and following the "Live Your Best Year Ever" program with Darren Hardy. In order to have a "balanced" lifestyle, one must try to succeed in all areas of life like Financial, Spiritual, Physical, Mental, Business, Family/Relationships, and Lifestyle. Thus, the first step is to "assess" your life in all areas.
For Finances, do you have a detailed budget and stick to it unfailingly? Do you have a professionally designed and diversified financial portfolio? Do you feel like you are compensated completely according to your worth?
For Spiritual, do you consider yourself a spiritual person? Do you meditate for at least 20 mins a day? Do you study your spiritual beliefs daily?
For Physical, do you do strength training at least 3x a week? Do you watch no more than 1 hour of TV everyday? Do you drink no more than 1 caffeinated beverage a day?
For Mental, do you read or listen to something instructional or inspirational for at least 30 mins each day? Do you seek instructional information in your field every day? Do you never engage in gossip? Do you always say no to requests or obligations that don't fit your core values or objectives?
For Business, do you always plan your day out the day before? Are your goals written, prominently displayed and regularly reviewed? Does your current business/job have the realistic potential of accomplishing all your financial goals for the next 10 years?
For Family/Relationships, do you spend at least 10 hours of your focused time with family each week? Is there no one in your life who you haven't completely forgiven? Do you recognize when you need support and continually seek help when you do?
For Lifestyle, do you feel like there is enough time in the day to do what you both need to do and want to do? Do you live life to the fullest every day? Do you take time out to daydream every day? Do you have hobbies outside of work that you enjoy and take part in at least 3x a week?
Once assessment is completed, the next step is to score yourself and draw in your "Wheel of Life":
As you can see, I have my original diagram that looks like an incomplete shape of some sort, and then I have another that I have drawn on top of it that resembles a circle more so. In fact, I had to revise my goals in the areas that I needed most in order to maintain the balance of my wheel of life.
In order to make a statement, I want to share my three "banner" goals for the year. This way, I will be held accountable at least by the blogging world. And when I say for the year, I really mean for the rest of the year (until Dec. 31, 2016). Here are my banner goals:
1. Pay off credit card debts of $8,000 and increase net worth by $25,000.
2. Complete the Insane Productivity program, the Live Your Best Year Ever program and journal, read 10 books and listen to 40 hours of audio on Professional Development.
3. Lose 5 pounds, do yoga 3x a week & reduce coffee (at least 3x a week, reduce coffee to 1x a day like weekend and another day of the week).

Once assessment is completed, the next step is to score yourself and draw in your "Wheel of Life":
Once you fill out your scores accordingly for each category, you will have your diagram. In this way, you will see in what area of your life you need to do more and in which area, you're doing okay. Then, you write your goals for each area. When picking your goals, you assume within a year you complete these goals so you make another diagram on top of the one you already had to produce the "ideal" diagram. Here's mine:
