In this world of volatility and uncertainty, it is important to have moderation in everything you do. By finding a happy medium across the 8 crucial areas of your Life Wheel, will help you to achieve success in all areas of your life. We all like to be successful in our career, but it should not come at the expense of our health or any other area of our Life Wheel. By balancing your work and life, you are able to build stronger relationships, work toward financial security and more freedom, feel part of a community, take care of your health and fitness and much more.   

When you lack this balance, it can lead to health issues, keeping you away from work regularly, you become more irritable, or start experiencing depression, headaches, gastrointestinal disorders, and heart disease. It can also contribute to failed relationships, divorce and estrangement from family and friends.
