Spiritual Wellbeing

In Health we are learning about the different wellbeings and why they help us.

What does Spiritual Wellbeing (Taha Wairua) mean?

'Principles or standards of behaviour. One's judgement of what is important to life.'

So far I have learned that TahaWairua is your values and beliefs, what you see yourself as and the way that you live your life. It is your religion, culture, goals, motivation, and self-worth.



[We used an online site called 'Barret Value Centre' to see their guess of our identity based on the values we picked.

Their guess on my identity was pretty accurate.]

Down below are two important values, I picked and the reason why I chose them.

FROM THE VALUES YOU CHOSE, WRITE ABOUT THE TWO THAT ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU`	WHY IS THIS VALUE IMPORTANT TO YOU?	RECALL A MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU REALLY ‘LIVED’ THIS VALUE.	IF THIS VALUE IS NOT BEING RESPECTED BY OTHERS, HOW MIGHT YOU FEEL OR REACT?
Respect	I think everyone deserves to be treated with respect like how we also want to be treated with respect	There was this one time where I saw an elderly having trouble pushing her walker across the railroad, so I went ahead and helped her	Most of the time I don’t really feel weird because I believe that people have their own opinions and people could also have different beliefs from me
Perseverance	If we give up without trying hard enough then we’d only accomplish little in our life	I wasn’t really good at writing before but I tried and tried until I got better	Same as the answer above Same

Problem Solving

What did you learn about?
I learned about different ways to find solutions to problems. I also learned about keeping calm in times where we get frustrated while a problem is occurring.

When discussing "Thought Challenges" what did you notice about yourself?
I noticed that I started to think more carefully instead of the usual aggressively fixing a problem.

What solutions can you try when you face a challenge during the Business & Enterprise kete? Give an example.
During the Business & Enterprise kete, I will be able to come challenges by talking to my group members if we're having a disagreement. If it gets to the point where everyone is frustrated then I will tell them to cool down and talk to me again once they have cooled down. Talking to someone while you're frustrated only makes things worse.

Interpersonal Skills:Conflict

What did you learn about? 
I learned that there are 3 conflict ways. Aggressive, assertive, and passive.

When discussing conflict styles what did you notice about yourself? 
I noticed that I approach conflicts differently when with different people. When I have conflicts with my family I tend to be passive and let things pass. But if it were conflict with my friends then I tend to be both aggressive and assertive.

How can you reduce conflict during the Business & Enterprise kete? Give an example. 

If something went wrong like our product didn't turn out the way we wanted it to and everyone started blaming one another then I would tell the team to calm down and talk about it instead of blaming each other.

Give an example of when you might need to keep calm during Business & Enterprise kete. 

If someone is making fun of our product then instead of losing our temper then we should just stay calm and smile. We should not let this comment get the best of us.

Interpersonal Skills: Being Mindful

What did you learn about? 
I learned that being mindful is about being aware of our surroundings and being in the moment. Being mindful can also be about our 5 senses, touch, hear, smell, taste, and see. We can also be mindful of what we say to other people so that we do not say something that we are not suppose to.

 Being mindful has taught that not only do we have to be mindful of what we say we also have to be mindful of our surroundings.

Was there anything you felt difficult to understand? Why? 
It was difficult to understand ways of showing mindfulness. I guess this is because we have not really been taught before to be mindful of our surroundings but to only be mindful of what we say.


When talking to a classmate how did you know what they were feeling? 
I knew how they felt because the way their body was postured, how they talked and also their facial expressions.

How can you apply your new knowledge to the Business Kete? 
I would pay careful attention to how my group talks, and how they talk and also their facial expressions. If I notice something then I would take quick action so it doesn't get worse.

Interpersonal Skills: Who Moved My Cheese

What did you learn about? 
I learnt about the video called "Who Moved My Cheese". I also learned that Resilience is never giving up.

Quote: "Resilience is the ability to attack while running away". 

Was there anything you felt difficult to understand? 
No, there wasn't anything that was hard to understand.

How did you relate to the video "Who Moved My Cheese? "
There was this person that didn't want to get out if his comfort zone. It teaches me that sometimes we need to get out of our comfort zone to try new things.

How can you apply your new knowledge to the Business Kete? 
If none of the topics are in my comfort zone then I will still try it. Or if something goes wrong and the only solution is something that is not in my comfort zone then I will persevere through it and will try to do it.
