Wheel of Wellness

Myers et al. developed a "Wheel of Wellness" model that attempts to measure well-being, drawing from a range of disciplines including psychology,stress management, ecology, and contextualism. The model proposes five life tasks, depicted in a wheel, which are interrelated and interconnected. These five tasks are essence or spirituality, work and leisure, friendship, love, and self direction. The life task of self direction is further subdivided into the 12 tasks of (a) sense of worth, (b) sense of control, (c) realistic beliefs, (d) emotional awareness and coping (e) problem solving and creativity, (f) sense of humor, (g) nutrition, (h) exercise, (i) self care, (j) stress management, (k) gender identity, and (l) cultural identity.[1]

The components are measured using the Wellness Evaluation of Lifestyle (WEL).
