therapy-informed life check-in
Mapping What Matters: Wheel of Life
A gentle life check-in without pressure, guilt, or fixing yourself.
Mapping What Matters is a therapist-created Wheel of Life worksheet designed for moments when life feels full, messy, or unclear and you want direction that feels calm and supportive. This printable PDF helps you reflect on what matters right now without hustle culture, forced productivity, or overwhelming goal setting.
Inspired by the classic Wheel of Life, this tool has been reimagined for sensitive, overwhelmed, and therapy-experienced people who want clarity that feels safe. Instead of asking you to change everything, it invites you to notice, name, and choose gently.
what this is
Mapping What Matters is a guided life reflection worksheet that supports nervous-system-friendly clarity. It helps you check in with different areas of your life and gently orient toward what feels true right now, without pressure to optimize, fix, or complete everything at once.

why this tool is different
This worksheet was created by a therapist with nervous system safety in mind. It is designed to reduce overwhelm rather than create insight pressure. There is no right way to use it and no expectation to complete every page. You can move slowly, skip sections, or return only when something feels off.
this is for you if
You want a calm and supportive life check-in
Therapy or personal growth work is already part of your life
