Anytime we can listen to true self and give it the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.

With openness and curiosity, you’ll reflect on aspects like health, family, career, and spirituality. But this isn’t just about assigning scores—it’s a chance to gain clarity on your overall well-being and how you feel in this moment.

We believe there’s nothing more important than your present sense of balance and fulfillment. Approach this step with honesty and intuition, allowing your current experience to guide you. Trust what comes up.

This process isn’t about judgment—it’s about creating an honest snapshot of where you stand. Use it as a tool to recognize the areas that feel aligned and identify where you’re inspired to focus your energy and growth in 2025.

Using the table below, take a moment to reflect on the key areas of your life and assess how satisfied you feel in each one. This is your chance to capture a snapshot of where you stand and identify what matters most to you right now.

  1. Rate each life dimension. Assign each area a score from 1–10:
  2. Make it your own. Feel free to edit, add, or split categories in a way that feels true to your life. For instance, you might divide “family” into marriage, parenting, or relationships with siblings and parents. Let this reflection reflect you.
  3. Use the comments column. After scoring, take a moment to jot down observations or details that surface. This can help clarify what’s working and what might need more attention.

Take a moment to step back and look at your assessment. What patterns, surprises, or emotions arise as you review your scores? These dimensions represent valued areas of your life—the aspects that give it structure and meaning. They’re distinct from your core values, which reflect the principles and qualities that guide how you want to live.

As you reflect, consider which dimensions feel most aligned and which might need your care and attention in the year ahead. Let this exercise guide your focus and intentions for 2025.
