The 100 Day Challenge, Day 54:
I often mention the 7 areas of your life in my blog posts. I also work with them everyday with my clients and they are the foundation of much of the work I do. I am going to write a little bit about them today to help you get the big picture.
Picture a pie cut up into 7 equal pieces. Each one represents an area of your life and the are:
Spiritual
Mental/Intellectual
Career/Business
Family
Social
Health
Financial
When you look at these 7 areas equally, you are taking a whole life approach to your thinking. Considering all of the areas when you have a challenge in one area allows you to realize creative solutions and clarity on the issue. You will always find that when one area is out of balance, at least one of the other areas is out of balance, too. Sometimes it is necessary to be out of balance for a time in an area- this would be done with a purpose in mind with you decision to have it be so. When you are out of balance because you have lost control of in some way, you have let the direction of your life be determined by outside forces.
My clients look at the 7 areas and we use them as our guide to reach their highest potential, most joy-filled and successful life. We work together to put it all together. It is from this foundation that amazing things can happen in your life!
The 7 areas have a different meaning to each person, and there is no wrong answer. I work with my clients to help them to discover their meanings. Their outcome is true confidence, self-esteem, poise, purpose, clarity, peace and excitement all at the same time!
