Wheel of Life is a concept theory which was found and created by Paul J. Meyer in
1960. This tool helps you in visualize all the important areas of your life at once. By
looking at a visual representation of all the areas of your life at once, the wheel helps
you to better understand which of your life areas are flourishing and which ones
need the most work.

• Self Examine personal resilience; motivation levels

• Understand personal strengths and gaps in times of change
• Be aware and take measures to be pro-actively work on gaps

This wheel contains eight sections that, together, represent one way of describing a
whole life. You, as a self-coach, may have other labels or categories or may wish to
divide friends and family.

Wheel of Life – Self Assessment

Take the assessment to identify your current and should-be:

Directions: The eight sections in the Wheel of Life represent different aspects of your
life. Seeing the center of the wheel as 1 and the outer edges as 10, rank your level of
satisfaction with each life area by drawing a straight or curved line to create a new
outer edge. The new perimeter represents the wheel of your life. If this were a real
wheel, how bumpy would the ride be?

pg. 7
01. Can COVID-19 be transmitted through goods produced in countries where
there is ongoing transmission?
Although it can last on surfaces
for many hours, but the
environment, transportation
and varying temperatures
during shipment make it difficult
for the virus to remain active. If
you feel the surface is
contaminated, clean it with a
disinfectant and wash your
hands after touching it.

02. Can COVID-19 be transmitted through mosquitoes?

There is no evidence that the COVID

virus can be transmitted through
mosquitoes.

The virus can spread through droplets

from coughing, sneezing or a patient’s
saliva.

03. How can we be sure that our clothes don’t spread COVID-19?

Besides showering every day, you

should wash your clothes using a
detergent or soap in 60-90 C water or
add bleach. Dry the clothes in a high
temperature dryer or in the Sun.

pg. 8
04. Can drinking alcohol help prevent COVID-19?

Drinking alcohol, such as beer, liquor,

wine does not help prevent
Coronavirus. You should wash your
hands often, wear masks and avoid
being close to those with a fever and
cough.

05. Is it true that COVID-19 is transmitted in cold climate and not in hot and
humid climate?

Coronavirus 2019 can be transmitted in

any kind of climate. Wherever you are,
no matter what kind of climate, you
have to practice personal hygiene, i.e.
wash your hands often, cover your
mouth when you sneeze or cough, and
wear masks.

06. Can digital thermometers be 100% effective in detecting COVID-19 patients?

It may take the virus 1-14 days to

incubate and cause symptoms like a
fever, so it cannot be used to identify
asymptomatic patients.

pg. 9
07. Can UV bulbs be used for disinfecting or the kill COVID-19 on our body?

08. Can spraying alcohol or chlorine on your body kill the virus inside?

Besides not being able to kill the

virus inside your body, it could
damage clothes or other tissues
like eyes and lips.

Though garlic has some anti-

microbial properties, there is no
evidence that it can prevent
COVID-19.

pg. 10
10. Can eating garlic prevent COVID-19?

This virus is new and different from

other viruses. We need a vaccine that is
developed specifically. The research
team is working on this through the
support of the WHO.

11. Can rinsing your nose regularly with saline solution prevent COVID-19?

Evidence has indicated that rinsing your

nose with saline solution can help us
recover faster from the common cold,
but cannot prevent infectious
respiratory diseases or COVID-19.

12. Is there any drug that can prevent and treat COVID-19?

At present, there is not drug that can

prevent and treat the disease. Patient

care to alleviate the symptoms. WHO is
accelerating research with all the
partners to actively study the treatment
for the disease.
