You\u2019ll end up with something you can fill in (or someone else can) to assess how balanced different areas of life feel. Below are two options: a template you can download and use, plus detailed instructions to build your own from scratch (so it\u2019s fully customizable).\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udd0d Free Word-Templates You Can Download\n\nHere are some free Word (or Word-compatible) Wheel of Life templates, so you don\u2019t have to start from zero:\n\n| Name | What you get | Source |\n|---|---|---|\n| Wheel of Life Template with Instructions (.docx) | A two-page Word file: one page with ready-made wheel + instructions for using it. | The Coaching Tools Company ([thecoachingtoolscompany.com](https://www.thecoachingtoolscompany.com/products/wheel-of-life-coaching-tool/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Wheel of Life Worksheet Template (Word + PDF) | Editable Word version as well as printable PDF, with eight standard life areas. | Templateroller ([templateroller.com](https://www.templateroller.com/template/2796530/wheel-of-life-worksheet-template.html?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Free Wheel of Life Coaching Template | Printable template, guiding you through scoring & reflections. | TheLeap.co ([theleap.co](https://www.theleap.co/blog/wheel-of-life-coaching/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\nIf you like, I can attach a Word file directly for you \u2014 ready to edit. (Just say the word.)\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udee0 Build Your Own Wheel of Life Template in Word\n\nIf you prefer to make your own so it fits your style, here\u2019s how:\n\n### 1. Open a New Document & Set Up Page\n\n- Open Microsoft Word and create a blank document.\n- Set orientation to **Landscape** (Layout \u2192 Orientation \u2192 Landscape) to give more space for the diagram.\n- (Optional) Set margins smaller (e.g. 0.75\") to allow more room.\n\n### 2. Draw the Wheel\n\n- Insert a **circle**: Insert \u2192 Shapes \u2192 Oval. Hold Shift while drawing so it\u2019s a perfect circle.\n- Center the circle on the page.\n\n### 3. Divide Into Segments (Spokes/Slices)\n\n- Decide how many \u201clife areas\u201d or categories you want (common is 8, but anywhere between 6-10 works). ([paperbell.com](https://paperbell.com/blog/wheel-of-life-template/?utm_source=openai))\n- Use **Lines** or narrow triangles (Shapes \u2192 Lines or Triangles) to divide the circle into equal slices.\n  - One way: place straight lines from the center to the perimeter for each slice.\n  - Rotate duplicates around the center to get equal divisions.\n\n### 4. Add Concentric Circles, Scoring Levels\n\n- Add smaller circles inside the main circle (Insert \u2192 Shapes \u2192 Oval) to create rings, showing levels (e.g. 1-10 scale).\n- Alternatively, mark points along each spoke to represent the scale. It\u2019s helpful if you label inner ring \u201c1\u201d (low satisfaction) and outer edge \u201c10\u201d (high).  \n\n### 5. Label Each Segment\n\n- On each slice, type the name of a life area: e.g., *Career / Work, Health, Finances, Relationships, Personal Growth, Fun & Recreation, Community, Environment* etc. ([thecoachspace.com](https://thecoachspace.com/blog/wheel-of-life-template/?utm_source=openai))  \n- You can use text boxes for this so you can rotate text or align it nicely near the outer edge of each segment.\n\n### 6. Add Instructions / Reflection Questions\n\n- Somewhere on the page (above or below the wheel), include directions like:  \n  > \u201cRate your current satisfaction in each area (1 = very dissatisfied, 10 = very satisfied). Plot each score on the slice, then connect the dots. Notice the shape \u2014 what areas are high, which ones are low, where the biggest gaps are. Choose one area to focus on this week.\u201d  \n- Optionally include a space for \u201cDate\u201d and \u201cName\u201d.\n\n### 7. Make It Look Good (Formatting Tips)\n\n- Use subtle fills: light color for the rings, darker colors for segmentation.  \n- Use line styles (solid/dashed) for scale rings.\n- If using color, pick a palette with high contrast so segments are distinguishable as you shade them in.\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 Using the Template Yourself\n\nHere\u2019s a typical way people use the Wheel of Life:\n\n1. Fill in the assessment (self-rating in each area).  \n2. Plot the points and connect them to see what the \u201cwheel\u201d looks like. A circle that\u2019s fairly even means balance; big dips show where attention is needed. ([dreamcoachmatch.com](https://dreamcoachmatch.com/wheel-of-life/template?utm_source=openai))  \n3. Reflect: Which areas are lowest? Which are most important to you?  \n4. Set one or two goals to work on specific areas.  \n5. Reassess periodically (monthly, quarterly) to track growth.
