Lesson 2: The ROOTED Assessment Wheel

The ROOTED Assessment Wheel is a practical tool designed to help increase awareness of the many factors that influence well-being. When we're struggling, it's easy to focus on the symptom—stress, overwhelm, fatigue, irritability, or brain fog—and assume the symptom itself is the problem. But symptoms often provide clues about areas of life that may need additional support.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to use the ROOTED Assessment Wheel to take a step back, look at the bigger picture, and identify patterns that may be influencing your overall well-being. The goal isn't perfection. The goal is awareness. By increasing awareness, we can make more intentional choices about where to focus our time, energy, and attention.

Key Takeaways

  • The ROOTED Assessment Wheel provides a snapshot of multiple areas that influence well-being.

  • Symptoms are often signals that point toward areas that may need attention or support.

  • One symptom can have many contributing factors.

  • The goal of the Assessment Wheel is awareness, not perfection.

  • Looking for patterns across the wheel is often more helpful than focusing on individual scores.

  • Small, intentional steps are often more sustainable than trying to change everything at once.
