LifeMap Glossary

Precise definitions of LifeMap's own system terms. Use them as a reference to understand the method, cite them, or share them.

LifeMap

Sistema

Bilingual (Spanish and English) life-design system structured in 6 parts. It is not a course, a journal, or a generic planner: it is a protocol that integrates reflection, diagnosis, decision-making, and planning into a single coherent system designed to be used once a year.

Wheel of 10 Axes

Herramienta

Central visual diagnostic of the LifeMap system. Evaluates 10 dimensions of life grouped into 4 categories (A · Foundations, B · Relationships, C · Purpose, D · Resources). Each axis is rated from 1 to 10 for the current situation (TODAY) and the year's goal (GOAL).

The 10 Axes

Estructura

The 10 life dimensions of the LifeMap system: 1 · Health/Vitality, 2 · Mind/Emotions, 3 · Spirituality/Values (category A), 4 · Partner/Love, 5 · Family, 6 · Friends/Community (category B), 7 · Purpose/Contribution, 8 · Work/Vocation (category C), 9 · Finances/Wealth, 10 · Time/Lifestyle (category D).

The 6 Parts of the System

Estructura

The complete structure of LifeMap: I · Closing the previous year, II · Present snapshot (Wheel), III · The 3 Decisions, IV · Year design, V · Year-end closing (final check-in), VI · Evolution [Year] → [Year+1].

The 3 Decisions

Proceso

The third step of the LifeMap system. It consists of consciously deciding what you will Release (what no longer serves you or weighs you down), what you will Keep (what works and you want to preserve), and what you will Create (the new things you want to bring into your life this year).

Transformation #1

Concepto clave

The most important change that, if it happens this year, will have the greatest positive cascading impact on all other axes of the Wheel. It is not the only goal of the year, but the leverage point: the main focus from which everything else moves. It is defined in Part IV of the system.

Phoenix Protocol

Herramienta

The reset mechanism of the LifeMap system. When the year is not going as expected, the Phoenix Protocol provides a structured process to do a new partial closing, redefine the current situation, and relaunch the year from where you are. It is inspired by the phoenix: it is not giving up, it is reinventing yourself with intention.

The 4 Treasures

Concepto clave

The four fundamental resources that LifeMap recognizes as essential to a well-designed year: Time, Money, Energy, and Knowledge. The system guides the user to consciously decide how to invest each of these Treasures in their priority axes throughout the year.

Glass & Rubber Balls

Concepto clave

A LifeMap distinction for prioritization. Glass Balls are life areas that, if dropped, break forever or are very hard to recover (health, children during childhood, relationships in crisis). Rubber Balls bounce back: if you let them go today, you can pick them up later. This distinction helps make the 3 Decisions with clarity.

Core Path

Camino

The basic path of the LifeMap system. Includes the first 4 parts: closing the previous year, Wheel of 10 Axes, the 3 Decisions, and designing the focus axes. Ideal for those starting out or wanting a complete annual review in 2-3 hours.

Advanced Path

Camino

The complete path of the LifeMap system. Includes all 7 parts, adding to the Core Path the detailed year design (Theme, Transformation #1, the 4 Treasures, Phoenix Protocol), the action map, and the Evolution [Year] → [Year+1] record. Takes 4 to 6 hours.

Year Theme

Concepto clave

A word or short phrase that captures the essence of what you want this year to be. It is not a goal or a measurable target: it is an emotional and philosophical compass that guides all decisions of the year. Examples: 'My reinvention', 'Building my freedom', 'Healing and growing'.

LifeMap Year Design

Herramienta

The printable PDF document of the LifeMap system. Includes the year dashboard, the Wheel of 10 Axes, the 3 Decisions, Transformation #1, the 4 Treasures, the Phoenix Protocol, and monthly, quarterly, and weekly check-ins. Available free as part of the Starter Kit.

Starter Kit

Producto

The free LifeMap package that includes the complete LifeMap Year Design in PDF, the official Wheel of 10 Axes, and the system instructions. Downloaded by registering an email address at lifemap.global.

Evolution (Part VI)

Herramienta

Part VI of the LifeMap system. A multi-year record that allows you to see the evolution of the Wheel of 10 Axes year after year, the theme of each year, and the Transformation #1 achieved. Offers two views: by category (A, B, C, D) and by individual axis (1-10).
