MaXIMIze - New Year - Time to Reassess

There is an an exercise I like to do at least annually called the Circle of Perception.

To do this exercise, take a piece of paper and draw a large circle in the center of it. Then divide the circle into six equal sections, like pieces of pie or pizza. Label each of the sections as follows:

Career
Relationships
Finances
Physical Well Being
Spiritual Well Being
Overall Well Being

Then, rate each of these areas from 1 to 10, and show that in each section. A rating of 10 would be the edge of the circle,  1 would be in the center of the circle (where all the pieces meet), and 5 would be at the midpoint of the section/circle.

Once each section is rated, look at the circle. Are all of the sections rated equally or are some rated higher than others? What sections are rated below an 8?

For the ones rated below an 8, what would it take for each of them to be an 8?

Think about that for the next week.

Next week, we'll do an exercise aimed at determining your core values, and then look at what you've thought about for this exercise to see if what you said would cause those areas rated below an 8 to become an 8 really fit your core values.

Later in the month we will discuss setting intentions and goal settings.

Until next time, Namaste!
