Practices that may help
- The Life Line Exercise
The life line exercise is a narrative reflection tool that asks you to map your life visually — high points, low points, and turning points — on a timeline. It surfaces the implicit story you have been telling yourself about your life, makes that story revisable, and identifies the experiences that most shaped your current values and patterns. Evidence is primarily clinical and observational; it is an established coaching and therapy tool with a solid mechanistic rationale. - Peak experience analysis
Study your life-line high points for the values and conditions they share — they reveal what fully alive looks like for you.
The Life Line Exercise - Low-point reappraisal
Return to the valleys on your life line and examine what they gave you — without minimizing what they cost.
The Life Line Exercise - The Wheel of Life, Made Practical
The Wheel of Life is a coaching tool that maps satisfaction across multiple life domains (career, health, relationships, finances, and others) as a visual "wheel" to show where life is well-rounded and where it is flat. It is widely used in coaching but lacks independent clinical trial evidence; its value is as a structured self-awareness and conversation-starter tool rather than a therapeutic intervention. - The future life line
Extend your timeline forward and sketch the peaks and turning points you want to create — then work backward to today.
