EXERCISE #1: Mental Contrasting Chart

This chart contains eight sections that, together, represent one way of describing a whole life. Think of this as "the big picture view" of your life as you currently experience it. Choose a number from 1 to 10 to represent the level of satisfaction that you feel presently for each area of the chart, and then click on the chart to shade in that area.

Next, imagine what your life would be like at level 10 for each area. Pause long enough to really imagine the outcome you most want to have happen. Make a note of the difference between the two states-of-being (the contrast between your life now, and then). What do you feel is missing for you in that area. Do the same for each area of life. When complete, download and save the chart. Use the form in EXERCISE #2 to record your thoughts and save your answers.
