The Life Audit: Why It Matters and How to Use It to Transform Your Life

Most of us move through life reacting to work, to family, to stress, to whatever the week throws at us.

Days blur into weeks, and we rarely stop to ask:

“Is this actually working for me?”
“Where am I thriving and where am I quietly struggling?”

That’s where the Life Audit becomes one of the most powerful coaching tools you can use.

It gives you something incredibly rare: a clear, honest snapshot of your life as it is today.

Not how you think it is.
Not how you hope it is.
Exactly how it is.

And from that clarity, things change.

Why Someone Should Do a Life Audit

1. It reveals the truth you usually overlook

We all have blind spots. You might think the problem is work stress, when actually it’s sleep, routine, joy or relationships.
A life audit shows the root cause, not just the symptoms.

2. It stops overwhelm and creates focus

Most people try to fix everything at once and end up fixing nothing.
With a life audit, you identify the one or two areas that would make the biggest difference.

When you focus on the right thing, life gets easier.

3. It reconnects you with what matters

Life shifts. Priorities change. What mattered two years ago may not be what matters now.
A life audit helps you realign your energy with your values and goals.

4. It gives you a sense of control

Many people feel “stuck” because they don’t have a clear view of their situation.
The Life Audit shows you that you can improve things one small step at a time.

5. It’s motivating

Seeing your whole life on one page visually is powerful.
Clients often say, “I knew I wasn’t balanced… but seeing it like this hits differently.”

What the Wheel of Life Actually Shows You

Your wheel is divided into key areas

You score each area on how satisfied you feel today, a dot near the centre means "needs work" and near the edge "well done, all is going well".

The connect the dots.

The result?
A clear map of where life feels smooth… and where the wheel would “bump” if it were rolling.

Because life works like a wheel:
If one segment is flat, the whole ride becomes harder.

When you can see your whole life on one page, you give yourself the gift of awareness which always comes before change.

Small steps.
Clear focus.
Consistent review.
That’s how you build a life that actually feels good.
