Balance in life is achieved when we are satisfied that we are addressing all areas of the life wheel; if one or more areas of the wheel “go flat,” we feel out of balance.

The Life Wheel (from sales guru, Zig Ziglar)

Balance in life is achieved when we are satisfied that we are addressing all areas of the life wheel; if one or more areas of the wheel “go flat,” we feel out of balance.

Rank order the seven areas of the wheel, 1 being the area you are most satisfied with your overall performance/ability/efficacy today, 7 being the area you feel needs the most attention.

STEP 2: DESCRIPTIVE EXPLANATION

For the free-write activity, put #5, 6, and 7 from the life wheel rank order list in the table below, as the areas of your life wheel that you feel need the most attention.

Describe each area as it is now and how you envision it to be in the future, 5 years from today. Be complete, and write both your NOW and VISION in the PRESENT TENSE. Below is an example of one student’s PHYSICAL VISION for the future. She wrote it in present tense to make sure she could envision herself truly being like this:

PHYSICAL VISION: I am very careful about what I eat. I prefer healthy food and I eat balanced meals and snacks and the calorie intake that is proportionate to my desired weight. I drink plenty of liquids to keep me hydrated. I eat my herbs every day to help my body stay in tune and to help maintain my weight at 135 pounds. At this weight I look good in a swimsuit, even a two-piece.

I exercise 4 or more times a week for cardio and strength. Often, I exercise out of doors. I like to exercise alone because it allows me to think. I also like exercising with friends for the social connection and accountability to get out and do it, and I often initiate fun activities with my friends, especially on the weekends. I have maintained my strength and body size for quite some time now. Because of my strength, endurance, and great flexibility, I am not afraid to try most any recreational activity, knowing I will be able to participate at some level.

As you fill in the table, be comprehensive, clear, and realistic but visionary. 100+ words per cell is expected.

STEP 3: USE THIS CHECKLIST TO MAKE SURE YOUR VISIONS ARE WELL WRITTEN.

Respond to each question with a detailed explanation.

  • Are your goals all visionary? Explain why or why not?
  • Are my visions morally right and fair to all involved? Explain why or why not?
  • Are all visions consistent with one another? Do they align or interconnect where there is a fit? Explain why or why not?
  • Can you emotionally commit yourself to these visions? Explain why or why not?
  • Can you see yourself actually reaching or  achieving your visions? Explain why or why not?

Step 2: APPLYING 5 THEORIES OF MOTIVATION TO YOUR VISION

This step in the goal setting process involves applying the theories you have studied in this course to one of the goals you identified in Step 1.

Background information: Given the three life wheel areas you analyzed in Step 1, select one to develop fully. Ideally this should be the one where establishing a plan for motivation will make the largest impact to your life’s path, where getting motivated and staying motivated would assure “success” five years from now, in a very large way. Think big!

PART I: Paste your vision of that goal, from STEP 1 here. Please make sure it is in a bold font or a different color so it will be easy for you to refer to while you do this activity. This will also make it easier for your grader to locate your response.

My goal from Step 1:

PART II: Explain how each of the theory groups might support your motivation so your goal actually becomes a reality.  As you are writing, keep in mind the criteria for evaluation for this step:

  • Responses explain explicitly how each of the 5 theories will be used to keep motivation high, leading toward achieving the specific goal in ways that are logical (Trait, Humanist, Behaviorist, Cognitive, and Social Cognitive).
  • Responses use the major concepts in EACH theory, with accuracy, and use the correct terminology from each theory (Trait, Humanist, Behaviorist, Cognitive, and Social Cognitive).
  • Response is well written (organized, free of grammar/spelling and punctuation errors, and is comprehensible).
  • Explain how the Trait theory will help you get motivated and/or stay motivated. Remember to use proper terminology from this theory.
  • Explain how the Humanist theory will help you get motivated and/or stay motivated. Remember to use proper terminology from this theory.
  • Explain how the Behaviorist theory will help you get motivated and/or stay motivated. Remember to use proper terminology from this theory.
  • Explain how the Cognitive theory will help you get motivated and/or stay motivated. Remember to use proper terminology from this theory.
