You have set ambitious goals for yourself before, and to a large extent, you may have already reached or even exceeded many of them. Yet, the stress you're dealing with is impacting your well-being in deep and maybe invisible ways, resulting in imbalance in many more areas than just your career or your finances.

For several decades, my personal research in wellness, fitness, and well-being has led me to study the teachings from Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the I Ching's Philosophy of Change, Joshua Rosenthal's Circle of Life, and others. One fundamental concept is that our overall well-being depends on much more than just our nutrition, and requires balance in bodily health, physical activity, and also on relationships, spirituality, and more, forming overall twelve fundamental areas.

Stress is affecting your well-being in a variety of forms: extra pounds around the waist, an unusual attraction to unhealthy food, recurring frictions in your closest relationships, a feeling that something's missing in your life, or something even deeper. Your type A personality makes you want to do something about it. You might even have a good idea of a few things you should do, and you have even tried to change habits, but it did not stick, and you are still unsure of where to start first.

The Well-Being Compass™ has been developed an extension to the Circle of Life, to assess what's out of balance in our lives, and also identify where to focus behavior change efforts, based on the relative importance we personally give to each of our twelve areas of well-being.
