Health Triangle
We need to have a 
balance
The three triangle elements are 
interconnected.
All three sides of the triangle need to be
balanced to achieve true health.
Health Triangle
When one side of the triangle is emphasized too
much--or not enough--the other sides will
change. This leads to an imbalance.
Take responsibility 
for your own health
My Two Cents
 “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you
respond to it.”
Staying positive is the first step in bouncing back
from challenges. Identify and express your feelings
appropriately. Eating well balanced meals and daily
exercise will create a better you.
THINK POSITIVE, ACT POSITIVE, AND YOU WILL BE
POSITIVE
 
Creating Your Health Triangle
On a blank piece of paper, create your own
health triangle; the way you are living right
now.
