Te Whare Tapa Wha - (Health)



In Health we designed and created our own Hauora Box.
On each wall of my Hauora box I wrote the four dimensions representing our well - being.
Each wall has its own dimension - Spiritual, Physical, Mental / Emotional and Social. The maori
words are - Taha Wairua, Taha Tinana, Taha Hinengaro and Taha Whanau. The words listed
under the main words showing what each wall represents are the keywords. The keywords are
words that relate to the dimension that it's in. 


If you look at a house with four walls like this Hauora box. If one of the walls was collapsing
or weak it wouldn't be able to hold the house or the roof for long. But if all four walls are strong
the house would stay up and won't end up collapsing to the ground. If your physical well being
was weak like you aren’t exercising or taking care of your body. That can in someway affect your
other three dimensions. It could affect the way you think or feel. 


Sometimes even one small incident can bring down all four of your walls.
Like you could have an argument with a family member and you have all these negative
emotions and feelings. So then you don’t feel like doing anything like exercise or going for a little walk.
Then you don’t want to talk to anyone like family because of your anger or emotions you are feeling. 

To fix each wall  you can work on one wall at a time or build on it. If you got into an argument with
someone that is family.  You could start with your Social well-being by talking to them about what
had happened and maybe hug it out. Or you could apologise if you think you need to. Once you're
like friends and have sorted out what ever happened you could go to the gym or go for a walk.
Doing fitness can help with things like stress relief or help you to feel better. Things like that
can also help your physical well-being.
