wowe is a well-being platform designed to help people build long-term, healthy habits in six essential aspects that support living a fulfilled and flourishing life. wowe is unique in its focus - instead of focusing on one aspect (for example, a fitness app that logs your workouts), wowe gives you access to activities in six different dimensions to build well-being across many different facets of living.

Excellent Question! Here are the dimensions in a nutshell:
1. Physical: Everything relating to your body! This includes habits related to nutrition, sleep, exercise, etc. This dimension encompasses your energy level, physical health and wellness.
2. Emotional: Your relationship with yourself and your internal resources. This can be your emotions, and also your self-esteem, self-acceptance, resiliency and temperament. The non-physical side of what makes you YOU!
3. Relationships: You and how you relate to the other people in your life. This can be everyone from intimate (romantic partner, child, parent, BFF) to general (acquaintances, strangers in the street, etc).
4. Environment: You in your surroundings — your home, your community, your neighborhood and also your "happy place", where you go to get refreshed.
5. Passion: What most gives your life purpose and meaning- what makes you feel jazzed and alive, what motivates you to get out of bed in the morning (besides that cup of coffee, that is). It can be anything from your work, your hobbies, your creative pursuits and your goals.
6. Transcendence: Everything that you believe in beyond the self. Your values and beliefs. Some will equate it with their spirituality or religion, others with simply their values and ethics. It also includes how you contribute to the well-being of others and work to make the world a better place.

You know those forms you need to fill out when you go to a new doctor? The ones with a thousand questions about you and your extended family members that help the doctor get to know you better (and help you get eyestrain from the tiny print)? Well, don’t worry about that when you first sign into wowe! We have a shorter, fancy, way more fun questionnaire to find out what your interests are and what healthy habits you already practice.
Positive psychology is all about building on your existing strengths, and wowe loves this for you. Using this information, and mind-body science, wowe recommends a variety of activities across the different aspects of well being. These activities are tailored to YOU and your interests. Every time you complete an activity, wowe’s snazzy technology can then suggest more activities you may like to explore. You get kudos for the steps you are taking and you are more motivated each day to keep going with all the interesting activities to try, the positive feedback you get as you see what you are achieving (we all need warm fuzzies) and before you know it, BAM, you are forming healthy positive habits that contribute to your well-being.

Healthy habit formation is different for everyone and for every habit! You may discover that some healthy habits are very easy to form and integrate themselves easily into your life while others take a bit of time (and cycle in and out of habit until they establish). The more you use your wowe app and record your habits, the more you can start to monitor your own progress in different aspects of well being, and watch your habits start to form.

Wellness focuses primarily on physical health, while well-being encompasses numerous aspects (physical health included) that contribute to leading a happy, fulfilling life. Focusing on wellness is like saying you have added seasoning to a dish but all you added was salt. wowe’s multidimensional approach includes an individual's mental, social, environment, intellectual, physical and spiritual health. Yummy.

There are several awesome options on wowe for you to choose from for more in-depth learning about positive psychology and well-being. wowe hosts exclusive webinars for wowzers (that's wowe users like you!) that you can participate in. There is also a wide variety of coaching content in the form of written editorials and videos that can give you a quick boost in 3 min or less and a nudge along the path you are seeking to follow. Keep an eye on our website or social media platforms for registration opportunities for the webinars!

No, equipment is not required for wowe. There are many activities that can be done without any special equipment or gear. However, there are some activities that suggest using household items, such as cooking a comfort-food meal (requires access to a kitchen) or flow-writing (requires a journal or paper and pen).
