To help us understand ourselves we need a structure. Just like understanding anything, it is helpful to have a framework or map to make things easier to understand and so we know where we need to go and we don’t miss anything important.
Environment
The physical spaces and surroundings that shape your daily life, including your home, bedroom, workspace, neighborhood, and the environments you regularly spend time in. Your environment can influence your habits, mood, motivation, sense of safety, and overall wellbeing.
Physical
Your physical body, health, and overall wellbeing, including sleep, movement, nutrition, energy levels, and rest. It also includes how you care for, experience, and relate to your body in everyday life.
Recreation
The hobbies, interests, and leisure activities that bring enjoyment, creativity, rest, or fulfillment outside of work and responsibilities. Recreation helps enrich life, reduce stress, and create space for joy, curiosity, and personal expression.
Heart & Mind
Your inner world — including your thoughts, emotions, identity, attachments, hopes, motivations, and sense of purpose. It explores what is at the center of your life and how your beliefs, emotional patterns, and mindset shape the way you see yourself and the world.
Social
The relationships and social connections that influence and support your life, including family, friends, colleagues, mentors, and professionals such as doctors, teachers, or coaches. Your social world can shape your sense of belonging, support, growth, and community.
Life Experiences & Stories
The experiences, memories, and defining moments that have shaped who you are, your values, and how you understand yourself. This also includes the stories and narratives you tell yourself about your identity, past, successes, struggles, and future.
Spiritual
Your beliefs, values, traditions, rituals, and experiences that shape your understanding of meaning, purpose, faith, or connection beyond yourself. Spirituality may be expressed through religion, personal reflection, community practices, or deeply held convictions.
Career/Study
Your work, career path, studies, or areas of learning and development. This includes your goals, responsibilities, ambitions, challenges, and the role that work or education plays in your identity and daily life.
Finance
Your relationship with money, including earning, spending, saving, giving, and managing financial responsibilities. It also explores what money represents to you — such as security, freedom, success, control, generosity, or stress.
