Level 10 Life – 100 Goals in 10 Areas of Focus

Well, hello there! I am super excited about this post today, y’all! If you’ve been following along this month then you already know that I am a HUGE fan of The Miracle Morning. This book has seriously changed my life over the past 24 days! If you haven’t yet, you should check out my review of the book here.

In The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod explains a concept he calls ‘Level 10 Success’.

“If we’re measuring our levels of success/satisfaction in any area of our lives, we all want to be living our best lives at a ‘Level 10’ in each area. Creating your ‘Level 10 Life’ begins with creating an honest assessment of where you are.”

Over the weekend I was digging through my Miracle Morning Fast Start Kit and discovered an amazing tool that I hadn’t noticed before. Hal calls it the ‘Wheel of Life Assessment’.

The wheel of life assessment is a circle graph that is divided into 10 sections — one for each major area of focus in your life. Each section has a progress bar to fill in (from 1-10) with how satisfied you are with that area of your life.

The idea here is to take a quick ‘gut feeling’ assessment of how satisfied you are in each of your 10 areas of focus. This gives you a glimpse at your life satisfaction overall. It is also a great starting point to figure out what areas you need to improve first to start living your Level 10 Life.

Of course, me being the bullet journal fan that I am, I had to devote a whole spread to this exercise in my journal. The results were beautiful!

Those darker lines that you see are so that I can mark my progress as I strive for my level 10 life. That way I always know where I started when I look back. On the right side of the spread, I decided to jot down some quick goals and ideas to improve my life in each area.

That quote by Zig Ziglar has always been one of my favorites. I couldn’t think of a better place in my journal to use it!

After spending some time reviewing my assessment, I decided to take it all a step further. I wanted clear action steps to improve in each area, so I came up with the idea to write down 10 goals in each of the 10 categories. Each one getting me closer to my Level 10 Life.

So, without further ado, here are my 100 Level 10 Life Goals!
