What are “Spheres of Life”, what are they and why talk about it?
Spheres of life are different aspects of our existence: health, relationships, finances, everyday life... - that which makes up life itself, fills time, calendar and thoughts.
Understanding what aspects, “parts,” a person’s life consists of helps him set priorities, discard unnecessary things, keep things “in order and on the shelves,” and determine a strategy for development in life.
What are the names of the Spheres of Life?
One of the most popular and simple approaches to presenting life in different planes is to divide it into 4 groups:
Body. Business. Relationships. Soul
To visualize this exercise, the coaching technique “Wheel of Balance” is often used. You can draw a circle on a piece of paper right now, divide it into 4 parts and name them exactly that way ( body, business, relationships, soul), or you can expand the list with additional spheres and name them as you like.
For example, “Business” can be called: “Finances and material well-being”, “Financial stability and achievement of goals”, “Self-realization”, “Money”, etc.
“ Body” - “Beauty and Health”.
“ Relationships ” - “Romantic Relationships” or “Love”, “Family and Friends”, “Environment” (depending on what kind of relationships you want to maintain and create), etc.
“Soul” - may include “Creativity”, “Hobbies”, “Self-development”, “Personality and character”, “Travel”, etc.
Why are there so many areas of life in the template?
In the template that I prepared for the course “From Life Vision to Closet Order”, I highlighted 10 areas in order to cover as many aspects and details as possible and take into account the individual requests of my clients.
For each of them, I prepared a list of coaching questions (in total, there were 115 of them), based on which a person can create a very detailed vision of how he would like things to be in this particular area of life.
You don't have to leave all 10 spheres of life in your template, you can choose exactly as many spheres to work with as you think is necessary, and delete the rest or leave them for the future. Just keep in mind that you have this option.
In this course, we will use a tool called “Database” based on the Notion platform, which will become the foundation for creating your life management system.
I created a database template for participants with a very obvious name
“The most important database with a template for 10 areas of life and 115 questions for them.”
What is the practical application of this topic? Why understand what spheres of life our life consists of?
Understanding the areas of life is key to managing it. It helps:
1. Prioritize: Being consciously aware of your life's aspects allows you to prioritize more accurately, focusing on what is important.
2. Track your balance: You can see where there is an imbalance and take steps to restore it in time.
3. Create a development strategy: Once you understand your areas, it is easier to determine areas for personal and professional growth.
4. Achieve goals: Having a clear structure in your life helps you plan better and achieve your goals.
5. Eliminate the unnecessary: This understanding allows you to discard what is unnecessary, making room for what really matters.
If you want to delve deeper into this topic, I invite you to the first block of the program "Vision and Values". Together we will create a basis for managing life, starting with an analysis of life spheres.
