The SOJOURN™ Life Satisfaction Inventory

The SOJOURN™ Life Satisfaction Inventory

A Comprehensive Assessment of Well-Being Across Six Essential Life Domains
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in participating in the SOJOURN™ Life Satisfaction Inventory. This survey explores various aspects of your life, including your behaviors, emotions, personal development, mental well-being, spirituality, and overall life satisfaction.

You are receiving this assessment because you have either enrolled in one of my programs or you have agreed to participate in a research project I am conducting.

Purpose of the Assessment

This assessment aims to provide insights into your life satisfaction and contribute to our broader understanding of your well-being. By reflecting on your experiences and perspectives across these diverse areas, you can uncover your strengths and opportunities for growth. Your participation is invaluable, as it enriches your self-awareness and contributes to our collective understanding of how to live a balanced, fulfilling life.

What to Expect

The assessment consists of statements on various aspects of life satisfaction and harmony. You will be asked to rate your agreement with each statement on a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 indicates strong disagreement, and 5 indicates strong agreement. Following the Likert-scale items, an open-ended question will appear at the end of each domain, inviting you to share more about your experiences and reflections. The survey should take approximately 30 - 60 minutes to complete, depending on how thoroughly you choose to answer the open-ended questions.

Confidentiality and Participation

Please rest assured that your responses will remain confidential and will be used solely for this research or your participation in my coaching services. Participation is entirely voluntary, and you may withdraw at any time without any consequences.

Thank You

I deeply appreciate your willingness to participate in this assessment. Your insights are invaluable to understanding the multifaceted nature of life satisfaction and harmony. This process will also offer a moment of reflection and a deeper understanding of your journey toward a fulfilling life.

If you have any questions or need further information before starting the survey, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@soulfulsojourners.com.
