" Socially, emotionally, and physically empowering health through connected experiences!"

What is 3E Health?
3E HEALTH stands for:
|
|
Our mission: To socially, emotionally, and physically empower health through connected experiences!
|
Focusing 3E Health on the relationship between our social, emotional, and physical self is where we find connection or disconnection. Helping see these connections or disconnections within ourselves is where the journey begins. The ownership of one's responsibility to control the choices and decisions we make is where self-awareness starts. Karen Janzen and Chad Oatway have developed the 3E Health Components to amplify the connection experiences of social, emotional and physical health. |
3E Health Components
|
To become more self-aware of the 3E Health Components we have broken them down into simplified definitions (see below) that are represented within the 3E Health Connection Wheel. A snapshot of one’s health can be assessed using the Connection Wheel and can help to understand that these components are all interrelated. This is where we find hope that 3E Health can build capacity for increased CONNECTION to ourselves, others, and meaning in the world around us: “to live, learn, and love” |

From Self Awareness to Connected Life Experiences
|
Seeing health with a growth mindset takes courage, but self-awareness is not enough. After self-awareness, we need to take responsibility for our health journey. The understanding and knowledge we have about health means nothing without DOING. Doing requires planning and building everyday routines into our lives, no matter how small our first steps might be, towards a healthier life. Creating these plans and routines around connected experiences in the 3E Health Components can be a challenging undertaking that takes practice and self-regulation. Holistically practicing the 3E Health Components in unison can develop positive and healthy habits that create a continuous feedback loop to create a fulfilling and connected life. Filled with ups and downs, 3E Health is not a destination, but a lifestyle journey.
