Now, Add Up Your Points
- 30–36 points: 🌿 Balanced & Thriving
You’ve built a solid foundation for wellness. Your lifestyle supports your physical, emotional, and mental health. Keep doing what works—and continue fine-tuning. - 20–29 points: 🌱 Mostly Balanced, Room to Grow
You’re on the right path, but there are areas that could use attention. Consider focusing on one domain (like sleep or stress management) to deepen your balance. - 10–19 points: ⚖️ Out of Sync
Life’s demands may be pulling you in too many directions. Your body and mind are asking for a reset. Small, consistent habits can have a big impact over time. - 0–9 points: 🔥 At Risk of Burnout
This score is a wake-up call—not a failure. Start with one tiny shift: a walk, a glass of water, a 10-minute break. Reach out for support if needed. Balance is possible, even in chaos.
What Your Score Means
This quiz isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness. Life isn’t always in perfect harmony, and that’s okay. But checking in with yourself regularly helps you course-correct before burnout takes over.
Balance looks different for everyone. For some, it’s early mornings and structured routines. For others, it’s slow evenings and creative expression. What matters most is that your life feels sustainable, intentional, and well-aligned.
Next Steps to Rebalance
- Pick one domain to focus on: Physical, mental, emotional, or life management
- Choose one habit to build or change: Make it realistic and small
- Track how you feel: Wellness isn’t just numbers—it’s energy, joy, and calm
- Check in monthly: Your balance will evolve with seasons, stress, and shifts in your life
Balance isn’t a destination—it’s a rhythm. Take this quiz as often as needed, and let it guide you toward a lifestyle that supports all of you.
