Permanent domains or aspects of our lives that provide a practical and powerful framework for setting and achieving goals, as well as designing and creating balance and fulfillment. These domains are considered to be permanent, in that they exist for each of us – although we approach and prioritize them in our own unique ways. Because we can anticipate problems in any domain we ignore over time, they allow us to be proactive in making choices as well as avoiding preventable setbacks and difficulties. Many people benefit from life coaching because of the way these domains can be individually focused upon, as well as more effectively balanced in our lives. Thirteen "Permanent" Domains of Life – Part 2 As we become a more powerful observer of ourselves, we begin to see that different aspects or domains exist within each of our lives. As we seek to be more conscious and develop more capacity to create the Results we desire, these domains can serve as a guide to balance and well-being. Achieving adulthood, in this way of understanding, involves taking responsibility for our own standards, development, goals and actions within all domains. 7. Education: Includes my beliefs and practices around learning and developing competency in other domains. It includes my orientation toward learning of all types (not limited to the classroom!) and lasting through a lifetime. 8. Body: Includes how I think about and take care of my body, which also encompasses my exercise habits, posture, nutrition, sleep habits and diet. 9. Mood: Includes how I tend to deal with events and situations… my primary moodspace, my most predominant emotional patterns. It involves the way in which I tend to orient myself toward the innumerable (and inevitable) events and situations that occur in my life. 10. Dignity: Closely related to Mood, and speaks more directly to our sense of self-worth and the conversations we have related to who we are and how we stand in the world. It also includes our standards for being in relationship with others. 11. Play: The domain of recreation, of hobbies, of leisure and non-revenue producing activities (which many of us are greatly under-utilizing!) It has to do with what we do for fun, and with our creative releases and creative contributions. 12. World: Our awareness of and participation in conversations that are larger than those about our own particular family or community. It includes our understanding of global issues and orientation toward others (who may be different than we are) on our planet. It includes our “legacy” and our awareness that the world is bigger than we are, and will continue to go on without us after we are gone. 13. Spirituality: Here we find my relationship to God or Spirit or Consciousness or any Greater Power, and my beliefs and practices about my place and the place of human beings in the larger universe. The invitation is to consider these domains (as well as Domains 1-6) as you create goals, design your life and enroll others to support you in being, doing and having what you want most to be, do and have.
