We use these Life Pies to determine the state of balance in our lives at this moment. This exercise requires an honest, non judgmental assessment of where your focus is most of the time at this stage of your growth. If you do this exercise once every other week or so, you can track your state of balance, notice which areas may need to be shifted and note the difference that any shift of the segments have on your reality.
It is very important that you are intentional and honest about your percentages. Watch out for trickery (The Judge and the Ego like a good trick). For instance: One of the segments is Friends/Social Connection-If you gather with a group and spend much of that time on your phone or scrolling Facebook, that is trickery and not actually Social Connection. Same idea if you eat dinner with your family but you are all focused on a device or you spend the meal distracted by something that happened at work. That is not part of the Family/Home percentage. These situations are where the honesty and intent come into play.
This exercise is information only. We don't need to be "fixed". It was not designed to cause guilt, shame or judgment. Do not let this be something you beat yourself up over. To make the changes we may need to make, it helps to have well thought out information and that is the intent of this practice.
