Lesson 5: Create your own Health Wheel

Create your own It Takes 7 Health Wheel

You will need to make sure you use Chrome or Firefox as your browser. Not safari or explorer. Then follow these simple steps.

1. Collect a series of photos of yourself, or others, engaging in all 7 It Takes 7  healthcare practices.
2. Go to the ‘Health Wheel’ – ‘Create Your Own’ page. You will need to login or create a login to use the wheel. To upload your photos simply click on ‘Choose file’, select an image from your computer, assign the image to the correct title (Attitude, Air, etc) and save. Make sure your photos are ‘still’ photos, not ‘live’. Live photos may distort when uploaded. Also, aim to have lots of background space in your image. This will make editing your photo on the wheel easier.
3. When all seven images are uploaded, drag each image across and drop into the correct section of the wheel.
4. Use the tools below the health wheel to make sure the images fit neatly in each section. If at first the tools don’t appear to be working, keep trying. They sometimes take a few goes to click in.
5. When finished, download your wheel. Save it! Share it!
