Setting Level 10 Life Goals
What Is a Level 10 Life?
What exactly does Level 10 Life mean? It means that all areas of your life are
balanced and you are living your best possible life!
Sounds pretty great, right?
The idea is from an amazing book, The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. It’s basically
a way to help you assess your current life situation and then set goals for yourself.
We all want to live a better life, but sometimes it’s hard to figure out exactly how to
go about doing that. We might pick random goals that we think we “should”
achieve, but are they goals that really matter to us? Will they really make us
happier?
That’s where a Level 10 Life assessment helps! You look at different aspects of your
life and decide which you need to improve and which you are OK with.
I have my own version of the Level 10 Life assessment (I’ll talk about it more
further down), but I call it the Balanced Life Assessment, but it basically does the
same thing. It helps you rate different areas of your life so you can start focusing
on the areas of your life that REALLY need improving.

Why a Level 10 Life Matters?

As humans, we all strive for a better life. It’s basic human nature to want more out
of life.
It can be soul-destroying to feel like you aren’t living up to your full potential.
Going to a job you hate every day, fighting with friends and family, feeling
unhealthy, feeling like you have no purpose in life… All these feelings can drag us
down and stop us from enjoying the life that we have.
Our time of earth is limited and we all want to live a full life while we are here! So
why settle for a substandard life?
You might ‘know’ that you should be living a better life but you feel powerless to
change things. That feeling of hopelessness can have a long term effect on your
happiness and mental health.
Striving for a Level 10 Life will help you feel more in control and help you focus on
what really matters to YOU! Not just the goals that you think you should be
following because that’s what society tells you to!

How to Track Your Level 10 Life

The first step in achieving your Level 10 Life is to figure out exactly where you are
RIGHT NOW!
Step 1: Assess Your Current Life
There are 8 major areas of your life that you can assess yourself on:

a) Spirituality
b) Finance
c) Health and Fitness
d) Career
e) Personal Development
f) Family
g) Mental Health
h) Self Care
i) Environment
j) Contributions

Do you have pretty good control over your finances, but the relationships with your
friends need work? Do you eat right and exercise but you’re miserable in your job?
You don’t have to use these exact same areas, you can pick whichever aspects of
your life that you want to. Maybe you want to track your ‘hobbies & recreations’ or
‘personal development’ instead? The eight areas above are just the major ones that
most people want to focus on.
Take some time to look at each area and decide what level you think your life
currently is.
For Example:
You like your job, but wish you would get a promotion to have more responsibility
(and more money!). So you might rate yourself as a “Level 6” for Career.
However, you know you don’t exercise enough, you eat far too much junk food, and
you have to take a bunch of medication, so maybe your Health is only a “Level 3”.
The rating that you give yourself is very subjective and it can be difficult to decide.
Just make sure you take your time and you are very honest with yourself.
Rather than trying to guess what level each area of your life is, you can take my
Balanced Life Quiz and you will get a score between 1 and 10 for each aspect of
your life.
Step 2: Record Your Current Life Levels
There are lots of different wants to track your progress towards your Level 10 Life.
Here are a few ideas of ways to record your Life Levels:
• Write your level rankings down in a notebook
• Use Trello, OneNote or another digital notebook to record your levels
• Write them on a whiteboard or blackboard so you see them every day
• Record it in your Bullet Journal
• Use my FREE printable Balanced Life Wheel printable!
Below I will explain more about how to use the Balanced Life Wheel printable (and
your Bullet Journal) to rate your Level 10 Life. But really it doesn’t matter HOW
you track your progress, just as long as you do it!
Step 3: Set Goals to Increase Your Levels
Now that you know where your life currently ranks on the Level 10 scale, it’s time
to set some goals!
Goal setting is such an important part of success… it might seem cliqued but it
really is!
But it’s not just about picking a goal and hoping you achieve it. You have to
actively plan HOW you’re going to achieve the goal and focus your energy on it.
During the goal-setting and planning phase, make sure you are setting time-based
goals for yourself too.
Instead of saying
“I want to lose weight”
you need to say
“I want to lose 15 lbs in 4 months by going to the gym three times a week and
following a clean-eating diet.”
When you are more specific about your goals, you are more likely to achieve them.
Step 4: Reassess Your Level 10 Life
You want to regularly check back in with your Level 10 Life goals to see how you
are getting on. You can do this as frequently as you want, I suggest at least once
every 12 weeks.
You will also want to retake the Balanced Life Assessment every so often to see how
your Life Levels are changing over time.
Every year I set aside a day to assess where my life is and plan where I want it to
be in a year’s time. I call this My Self-Reflection Day – you can read all about how
to do your own Self-Reflection Day here.
Are all the areas in your life improving? Or is there an area that has taken a back-
slide? Are your priorities still the same or have they changed?
By regularly reassessing your goals and your Level 10 Life wheel, you can make
sure your are staying on track!
Questions to Ask Yourself
So you might well now be asking… “but HOW to I assess my life?”
When you think about your career, you might think, “well, it’s OK, but it could be
better”. So does that make it a Level 4 or a Level 7?
The easiest way to find out is to take my Balanced Life Quiz! It will give you a level
rating for each of the 8 areas!
But if you want to do it on your own, there here are some questions that you can
ask yourself.
(Not all these questions will apply to you… so adapt your questions/answers to fit
your lifestyle)
Finances
• Do I have a monthly budget that I find easy to stick to?
• Is my income each month is higher than my outgoings?
• Do I have an emergency fund with enough money to cover at least 3 months’
expenses?
• Do I have enough money to enjoy my free time and do things I want to do?
Health
• Am I happy with my weight?
• Do I get regular exercise that I enjoy?
• Do I eat food that nourishes my body?
• Is my body aging well?
Friendships
• Do I have close friends who I can rely on and they can rely on me?
• Do I have good relationships with my work colleagues?
• Am I always willing to help a friend in need?
• Do I have a friend that I can confide in about my problems?
Home
• Does my home reflect my personality?
• Do I feel safe in my home?
• Do I feel embarrassed by my home if someone shows up unexpectedly?
• Can I keep up with the chores and maintenance on my home?
Mental Health
• Do I feel good and have confidence in myself?
• How much stress is in my life?
• Do my emotions control me?
• Am I at peace with the decisions I’ve made in the past?
Family
• Do I have a close relationship with my partner?
• Do I have fun and laugh with my family?
• Do I enjoy being with my family, even if it is hard sometimes?
• Can I rely on my family to support my decisions?
Career & Education
• Am I passionate about my work?
• Do I feel that I have reached my full potential?
• Do I have a plan for how I am going to meet my career goals?
• At the end of the day, do I feel like I have accomplished something?
Spirituality
• Do I spend time exploring my personal faith to strengthen it?
• Am I taking time to connect with my personal faith?
• Do I pray or meditate daily/frequently?
• Am I inspired by the world around me to be a better person?
Setting Level 10 Life Goals
Once you’ve assessed your life, then it’s time to start setting some goals for
yourself.
If you’ve discovered that your life is pretty well balanced, except for your health.
Then that’s where you want to focus first. There’s no point in setting yourself
masses of goals and then not being about to keep them. Instead, you want to focus
on just one or two small things first.
So what’s the best way to set goals? The answer is SMART!
S – Specific
• You need to be specific with your goal. “Get healthy” isn’t specific, but “lower
my blood pressure” or “eat more whole foods” are specific.
M – Measured
• You need to make sure your goal is measurable. Saying you want to lose
weight is great, but how will you know when you have been successful? “Lose 15
lbs” is a specific and measured goal. “Increase my monthly income by $300” is also
a measured goal.
A – Achievable
• Make sure your goal is also achievable. It needs to be attainable and
responsible. There’s no point in saying you want to save $10,000 in 2 months if
you can’t possibly earn enough to meet that goal.
R – Relevant
• Goals are awesome! They help us stay on track, but they have to be relevant
to our lives. Promising yourself that you will be fluent in Klingon by summer isn’t
going to help you further your career (unless you work in a comic book store!).
T – Timed
• The last piece of the puzzle is a timed goal. You need to set yourself a
deadline. We all work better when we are up against a deadline! Goals are no
different. “Redecorate the living room within 2 months” is a useful timed goal.
It’s easy to write SMART plan for yourself once you understand how!
Rather than say “Get healthy”, a SMART goal would be “Lose 15 lbs before my
birthday by eating whole food and exercising 3 times a week”. The more specific
your goal, the more likely you are to reach it!
Once you’ve set your goals, then you want to think about how you’re going to track
them. Yes, the Level 10 Life Wheel can show you the progress you’ve made, but
most goals are easier to achieve if you are tracking them more closely.
What Categories Do I Include in My Level 10 Life?
You can be a bit flexible with what topics or categories you include, but if
you want to keep it simple, you can use a few ideas from these basic
categories to represent your areas of life:

 Health and Fitness

 Physical Environment
 Gift and/or Contributions
 Fun and Recreation
 Marriage or Relationship
 Career
 Finances and Expenses
 Spiritual
 Personal Development
 Family Members and Friends

REACHING YOUR LEVEL 10 LIFE GOALS

ASSESS YOUR LIFE

Before you start making goals, you should assess your life in the 10 areas
that we just talked about. So first, grab a pen and some paper (or your
favorite notebook) and settle in.

This should take at least an hour. You want to be thoughtful in your

assessment. If you’re not sure exactly where to start with your assessment,
I’ve thought of a few questions that you can ask yourself. If you’d like even
more journaling prompts that cover the majority of these categories, check
out this post on self-discovery questions. These questions are about where
you are RIGHT NOW.

 What are the areas in your life that you currently love?
 What about them makes you so happy?
 What areas of your life are not going well?
 What makes you feel that way about them?
 What areas of your life do you spend most of your time thinking
about?

By the way, these assessments are often done during life coaching sessions.
If you’re interested in life coaching or specifically self-care coaching, check
out my services.
ASK YOURSELF WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

Now that you have a firm grasp on where you are right now, ask yourself
where you want to be.

 What does your level 10 life look like?

 Who do you spend your time with?
 What do you spend your time doing?
 How does it all make you feel?

So you have an idea of what you’d like your life to look like and maybe even
some steps to start getting there.

MAKE THEM SMART

SPECIFIC

This means that you want your goal to be clear and understandable. For
example, “get healthier” isn’t really clear. What does “get healthier actually
mean? Some questions you may ask yourself include: what do I want to
accomplish? and what is involved in accomplishing it?

So instead, “Get healthier” becomes “Exercise more”

MEASURABLE

Having your goal be measurable means that there are concrete action steps,
deadlines, etc that you can point to, to show that you are on your way to (or
have met) your goal.

Your specific goal of exercising more can be measured by how long you
exercise, how often you exercise, how many repetitions of a particular
exercise you do, etc.

ATTAINABLE

This step in the SMART goal exercise is also called Achievable. Is your goal
achievable based on your capabilities (health, finances, family situation etc)
AND your ability to stretch yourself?
RELEVANT

Think about if this goal is really relevant to you. Will this goal actually
matter a few years from now? Are you trying to achieve this goal because it’s
what someone else wants?

Only you know if your goal is really relevant to what you want.

TIMELY

Lastly, you want to set a timeframe for this goal. Some questions you may
ask yourself in this step are: how often will I set aside time for this OR when
do I want this goal to be achieved by?

To take our “exercise more” goal through all the steps, it may look
something like this:

I’m going to work up to exercising at home 3 times a week for half an

hour by February 15th, 2020.

LEVEL 10 LIFE GOAL EXAMPLES

If you’re not sure where to start out or want a few more examples of how to
make SMART level 10 life goals, here are a few goals in each area.

W H AT I S LEVEL 10 LIFE

Hal Elrod created the Level 10 Life in his bestselling book “The Miracle
Morning”. He explains it like this: “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”.

H O W D OES LEVEL 10 LIFE WORK?

STEP ONE: Setup and evaluation

Start off by creating a circle or bar graph divided into 10 parts, one for
each of your major life areas. Assess each area from 1 to 10 based on the
way you feel about it right now.

Be honest with yourself when you’re evaluating. Base your assessments

on your own feelings, not the expectations of someone else!

Now, color the sections of each area according to how many points you
gave to each area.

STEP TWO: Write out your goals

Take a minute to look over your chart. Think about what would make you
feel like a certain area of your life is at a level 10?

These should be your goals!

Work through this process for each area of your life, one at a time.

Here’s a great example of a finished layout that I found on Instagram…

AR EAS OF LEVEL 10 LIFE

The original idea suggested by Hal Elrod has 10 different areas that
encompass everything important and influential in your life. Together
these areas create a full detailed picture of your current situation.

GETTING STARTED

 Choose one goal at a time — we all have the habit of getting

overzealous in our personal goals and start out wanting to lose
weight, diet and exercise, clean out the clutter, take a class, earn a
certificate, etc. And then, we spiral out of control and fail at all of
the above. Concentrate on one goal at a time and focus on that.
 Write down your goals. Writing down your goals makes them more
real and in turn, makes you more accountable for your actions.
 Begin to get excited and it will show. The more you get excited
about what you're doing, the more inspired you will feel, and the
more momentum you will create.
 Follow-through. Break down your goal into smaller more
manageable tasks. Then work through each task until they’re
complete.
 Celebrate the smaller successes. Always reward yourself when you
achieve a goal! It’s a big deal and you should treat it that way.

Here are a few ideas on how to evaluate and make your assessments.

CAREER

 Examine and explore which area of your career is not working.

 Ask yourself what your end goal is — do you want to retire earlier,
work fewer hours, or have more power? What is your end goal?
 Once you have discovered your end goal, start creating a plan of
action.
 Pick five action steps, beginning with the smallest.
 Take one small action step per day for a set amount of time.
FINANCES

 What’s your story? We all have stories about money. It’s your job to
uncover your story.
 Once you uncover your negative money story and self-sabotaging
habits surrounding money, you can now write your own brand new
story.
 Start practicing positive money affirmations. Positive thoughts
create prosperity so take up the practice of positive thinking.
 Practice these daily.

RELATIONSHIPS

 Be honest about who you are.

 Take a look at your actions, thoughts, and pre-conceived notions
when relating to others.
 Ask how we can show up as a contribution to the other person.

SPIRITUALITY

 Allow and accept what works for you.

 Spirituality success comes when you accept who you are and what
works for you.

FUN AND RECREATION

What dreams do you have that are purely for fun? Perhaps you’re an avid

gamer and want to spend more time doing that, or you want to travel the

world and see all the sites in different countries.

Whether your fun dreams are big or small, you now have a space where

you’re given permission to work on them and make them happen. Just

because they’re “for fun” doesn’t make them any less important in your life!
CONTRIBUTING AND GIVING

Giving, be it your time or money, makes you a happier person. It also

helps organizations and charities to continue doing good work and further

improve the world that we’re living in so it makes sense that this is an area

we should all be focusing on, probably a little more than we currently are…

Where are you now?

Okay, now you know all the different areas of focus and why each one is so

important, it’s time to assess where your life currently is.

The basic idea is to give each of the areas above a score out of 10 and then

see which areas are lacking and which are not.

For example, maybe you’ve been telling people for years about how you want

to move to a bigger house. If that’s really what you want then your physical

environment score wouldn’t be super high right now.

But maybe when you go to score that area you instinctively give it a very

high score, maybe an eight or nine. If that’s the case, then possibly that big

house isn’t really what you want…

You’ll notice on all the worksheets there is room for comments when you’re

assessing. Don’t feel you have to put anything there, but if something

immediately comes to mind write it down, you might be able to use it as a

base to create a goal later.

What would a 10 out of 10 be for you?
Now we get to the really good bit, figuring out what a 10 out of 10 life would

look like for you in each area and how you can get there – coming up with

First, notice how balanced or imbalanced it is. Do you have some super high

scores and then some super low scores, if so you might need to make more

goals for those low areas to bring them up a little more in balance.

Or, if you have generally similar scoring throughout, but it’s just not as high

as you would like (perhaps an average of five for example) then I would

create a goal for each area of your life.

Visual Representation of Progress: Visual cues can be incredibly motivating and

offer a clear snapshot of your progress. Your bullet journal becomes an artistic
canvas where you can depict your journey graphically. Here are some creative ways
to visually represent your progress:
Bar Charts: Create bar charts that visually display your current level and progress
in each area of the Level 10 Life. As you update your scores over time, the charts
offer a visual representation of your growth.
Pie Charts: Use pie charts to represent the distribution of your scores across
different areas. These charts can showcase where you’ve made significant strides
and where there’s room for improvement.
Line Graphs: Track your scores over weeks or months with line graphs, showing
the upward trajectory of your efforts. This dynamic representation highlights your
commitment and encourages further advancement.
Habit Trackers: Integrate habit trackers into your bullet journal to monitor specific
actions aligned with your Level 10 Life goals. Colouring in or checking off boxes for
each completed task fosters a sense of accomplishment.
Visual Symbols: Incorporate symbols, icons, or drawings that represent each life
area. As you make progress, these symbols evolve or fill in, reflecting your journey
visually

Level 10 life hacks!

Now this is something I find super duper fun! Here are a couple of tricks I like to
share in relation to the level 10 life.

Create 12 segments or sections for your life. And then focus on one segment a
month
If I have ranked my section a 7/10 I find 3 awesome goals to set to make it a 10
I only choose sections that are relevant to my life or a priority in the near future.
I set myself smaller goals to make the level 10 life goals a little more achievable!

Overcoming Challenges and Staying Motivated: Navigating the Path of Self-

Improvement
Embarking on the journey of the Level 10 Life Method within your bullet journal is
an empowering endeavor, but it’s not without its challenges. As you strive for
holistic self-improvement, you may encounter roadblocks that test your resilience
and determination. By acknowledging these challenges and adopting effective
strategies, you can stay motivated and maintain momentum on your
transformative path.

Addressing Common Challenges:

Overwhelm: Balancing multiple life areas and setting numerous goals can lead to
overwhelm. The sheer scope of improvement might seem daunting.
Inconsistent Progress: Life is filled with ups and downs. Some days, you might
make significant strides, while on others, progress seems elusive.
Perfectionism: Striving for “perfect” scores in every category can create undue
pressure and hinder your sense of accomplishment.
Lack of Time: Busy schedules and daily responsibilities may leave you feeling like
there’s not enough time to focus on all areas of your life.
Self-Doubt: Negative self-talk and doubts about your ability to make meaningful
changes can undermine your motivation.

Strategies for Overcoming Obstacles:

Set Realistic Goals: Break down your goals into manageable steps. Focus on
gradual progress rather than instant transformation.
Prioritize and Rotate: Recognize that not all areas need equal attention at once.
Prioritize a few key areas for a specific time period and rotate your focus as needed.
Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge even the smallest achievements. Celebrating
progress, no matter how minor, fuels motivation and boosts confidence.
Practice Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding. Accept
that setbacks are part of the journey and view them as opportunities to learn and
grow.
Adjust Goals: Be flexible in adjusting your goals based on changing circumstances.
Life is dynamic, and your goals should adapt accordingly.
Staying Motivated:
Visual Reminders: Create visual reminders in your bullet journal. Include
motivational quotes, images, or symbols that inspire you to stay on track.
Accountability: Share your goals with a friend, family member, or an online
community. The sense of accountability can provide an extra push to stay
motivated.
Regular Reflection: Dedicate time to reflect on your progress. Regularly revisit your
Level 10 Life spread to witness the positive changes you’ve made.
Break Tasks Down: Divide larger goals into smaller, actionable tasks. Completing
these tasks provides a sense of achievement that fuels motivation.
Celebrate Milestones: Set milestones and celebrate them. Treat yourself to a small
reward or engage in an activity you enjoy when you achieve significant progress.

Incorporating Mindfulness and Self-Compassion:

Mindful Awareness: Practice mindfulness by being fully present in each moment.
This awareness helps you make conscious choices aligned with your goals.
Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness you’d extend to a friend.
Accept imperfections and setbacks, and offer yourself encouragement.
Mindful Journaling: Use your bullet journal for mindful journaling. Write about
your experiences, thoughts, and emotions as you navigate challenges and celebrate
victories.
Gratitude Practice: Dedicate a section of your journal to daily gratitude. Cultivating
gratitude enhances positivity and resilience, fostering a nurturing mindset.
Self-Reflection: Regularly reflect on your journey and how far you’ve come. This
practice reinforces your commitment and bolsters self-belief.
Incorporating these strategies into your Level 10 Life journey within your bullet
journal equips you to overcome challenges, maintain motivation, and cultivate a
mindset of mindfulness and self-compassion. Remember, every step forward, no
matter how small, is a testament to your dedication and determination.
