A Reflective Self-Assessment
Balanced Perspective Index
Notice where your view of a person, event or experience is broad and balanced — and where a strong emotion may be showing you only one side.
Explore your current perspective across seven areas of life and see where greater clarity, ownership and steadiness may be useful.
One-sided views often keep us stuck. A more balanced view helps the next response come from clarity.

Balanced perspective does not mean
- Denying pain or difficulty
- Approving harmful behaviour
- Avoiding boundaries
- Remaining in unsafe situations
- Forcing yourself to feel positive
- Becoming emotionally numb
It means gradually becoming able to see more than one side, so your next response can come from greater clarity.

Bigger Picture
Can I consider other viewpoints, explanations and longer-term effects?
