Evaluating Your Life: The First Step to Change!

Balanced Life Assessment:  An Evaluation Tool

Below many aspects of life are divided into ten areas to make it easier to take a snapshot view of each one.

 Consider each area and ask yourself, "How fulfilled am I with this part of my life?"

In the blank, assign yourself a score where "0" is no fulfillment or satisfaction at all  and 10 is "completely fulfilled." (Note a 10 does not mean it cannot be improved or that it will not require continuing attention to maintain this level of satisfaction. It means that, for the moment, you are feeling complete fulfillment in this area.)

 You can also split a section in half. For example, you could assign "Home/Office Environment" a "7" at the office and a "2" at home.

If you'd like, you can make a few notes next to each rating, to remind yourself what you were thinking about when you assigned yourself a score.

The ten areas are:

1. Professional (0-10) ____

2. Financial (0-10) ____

3. Physical (0-10) ____

4. Spiritual (0-10) ____

5. Social Support (0-10) ____

6. Intimacy (0-10) ____

7. Family (0-10) ____

8. Learning/Growth (0-10) ____

9. Home/Office Environment (0-10) ____

10. Play/Fun (0-10) ____

How did you do? Did some areas score really high while others were only okay? Did you realize that some areas could really use some work? What can you do to begin to bring up that rating? What would a "10" look like?

This evaluation tool can be the introduction to coaching for you when you complete it and use it as a way to get acquainted with  your coach and define your needs.

If you have an area in your life that needs some attention and are having trouble coming up with a plan alone, call Barbara Klika, MSW at 920-336-7005 or email at mailto:info@stillwatersincgb.org for a FREE consultation.

Many Christians worry that if
they have DEPRESSION there is something
wrong with their FAITH.

Are you one of them?

• Have you wondered if feeling discouraged means you are failing God?
• Does taking medication mean my faith is weak?
• Shouldn't Christians who have received the Holy Spirit be protected from depression?
• Do you feel the need to look "perfect" while your friends seem so high in their faith and you feel so depressed?
• Do Christians choose to be depressed or are they being tested by God?
• How do you reconcile unkind or dishonest behavior from those who claim the title of Christian?
• Why do Christians feel so uncomfortable acknowledging depression?
• Does Hebrews 10:26 bother you and seem like a condemnation for one in depression?
• How do I help a friend or relative who is both a Christian Believer and struggling with depression?

After collecting real questions that Christians have, I put my faith and years of counseling and coaching experience to work to respond to these heart cries in a written format. My goal was to provide sound basic information and then address these questions in a conversational style, as though I was sitting together with the questioner.
