Life is better with friends by Jessica
This brochure, thingy, is what I made for Health to conclude our small part in Taha Whanau. It talks about friendships and how you can be a better friend. It's also advice for aliens just in case they want to blend in, if so, at least credit me please. It is a bit big so you may want to zoom out so you can get the full picture, or just go to Canva through the link above and get it at a more suitable size.

The First Classes of Health
We have recently begun our Health classes and have begun the Hauora unit. Hauora is the Māori word for wellbeing and is represented by a house or Whare. Each wall of the Whare represented by an aspect of our wellbeing, Taha Wairua, spiritual wellbeing, Taha Whanau, social wellbeing, Taha Tihana, physical wellbeing, and finally Taha Hinengaro, mental and emotional wellbeing. We have started off on focussing on Taha Wairua, spritual wellbeing is to do with many things including religion, values, identity and other things alike.
We started off the unit by taking a quick test, if you would like to do the same test, scroll down and press the big blue
TAKE YOUR FREE ASSESSMENT
button. After taking the test we got sent some results and were then tasked to pick the two that were most important to us and delve deeper into what they meant to us.
Before this we had to do some work without assessments like this on things that are important to us, then we had to pick the five most important from the ones we already had on the sheet. Then our teacher provided us with situations and asked us to show whichever trait about ourselves we would show in these situations. Most of the time I ended up showing the sarcastic note the most out of everything.

Health Assessment
Relaxing -
What I learnt:
Relaxing is needed, you can not even realise it, but you could be relaxing. We learnt that relaxing can be easiest when you’re just laying there, thinking about what has been happening today and in the past, recent or not, the best way, is to forget about it for a moment, let it go and take a moment to calm yourself with nothing going on around you.
Why this is important:
Because without relaxation you cannot properly enjoy a good night's rest. Your body will be constantly going and be moving, you could fall asleep at any moment. You would become very stressed and tired which will affect your well-being, both your physical and emotional. When you relax you take the thoughts that are causing you stress and anxiety and let them go. Relaxation can help you remember to be resilient and try to do your best.
How could I use this in my own life:
Relaxation is needed for everyone. I need to remember to take a moment and make sure I can continue my current activity, or if I need to take a moment to relax. I would most likely need to remember to relax when doing something along the lines of studying or finishing some homework.

Body Cues -
What I learnt:
Body Cues are the signs that your body gives when you're either in a certain mood or thinking of a certain thing. For example, when you're happy, most people will have a smile on their face, their eyes will light up and the eyebrows will most likely be neutral, another example is when most people are angry their muscles tense and their face goes a shade of red, some even grit their teeth.
Why this is important:
Body Cues are important because they can show the mood of a person and how you should treat them. They show how a person may act. They show how they are feeling, maybe even what they are feeling about the current or previous situation. For example, if someone shows the body cues of happiness, you shouldn't greet them saying something to sadden them.
Why this is important:

How could I use this in my own life:
I could use my knowledge of body cues to see how my friends and family are feeling. By taking this action, I will acknowledge how to treat them, and the current situation they are going through.
A snip-it of my previous work:
Empathy -
What have I learnt:
Empathy is shown when you show similar emotions to someone else and relate to their current problem. Empathy is a way of supporting others. Some people find it better to be shown empathy than people trying to tell them it will be okay.
Why this is important:
Without empathy, a lot of friendships and other relationships would not exist. Not only does being empathetic support others, there are benefits too. The benefits of being empathetic can be showing that you care about the well-being of others, you gain respect, trust and other aspects. This can build a stronger bond between the two people involved.
How could I use this in my own life:
Empathy is a way of supporting others. What kind of friend can you be if you aren't there to support your friends through tough times? I would need to know what empathy means to support my friends when they go through rough times in their lives.
A snip-it of my previous work:
What Resilience is -
What I have learnt:
Resilience is the ability to recover quickly from something. Being resilient is to 'bounce back' and never give up when faced with difficulties and toughness in life. Resilience is shown when you take action and never give up, whether it be when dealing with bullies or facing a hard test.
Why this is important:
To be resilient is important, if you give up all the time, you are never going to achieve anything. Getting a job or achieving the reality of a dream, without resilience, you couldn't do either. If he had not been so resilient and given up, Thomas Edison would've never invented the light bulb. Without resilience, we would not have any of the things we have today.
How could I use this is my own life:
If I want a job, I will have to be resilient, I will have to overcome the challenges of having that job so I could earn some money. If I want to go to university, I will have to be resilient, I will have to work as hard as I can to get good grades and get a degree. Everyone with a job, a degree, has worked to get there, and has been resilient and not given up.
A snip-it of my previous work:
Mindfulness -
What I have learnt:
Mindfulness I being aware of the things that are being said and what is going on around you. To be mindful is to pay attention to what someone is doing or saying, being non-judgemental and trying to be completely focused on what they are talking about. Sometimes a persons body cues show what they are actually feeling over what they are saying. For example, they say they're not afraid, but they're shaking, as their voice it too.
Why this is important:
To be mindful is important, to have any basic communication you need to pay attention and be mindful of the current situation, show empathy and support others if they need it. You need to see what side of the story you're hearing and what their body cues are explaining. If you pay attention to what they're saying and offer your opinion on it, this supports them and shows that you care. If you are mindful of others, you can maintain a strong relationship with them.
How could I use this is my own life:
To be a good friend I need to be mindful of the situation my friends are going through, and show some sensitivity. I would need to know everything going on. I would need to be mindful of what I say to make sure I don't hurt them in the midst of cheering them up. I would need to be mindful of my friends all of the time to show that I really do care and have a good relationship with them.

Strategies for being assertive
Passive
Not taking action and letting people do or say things to you. Not having the confidence to say or do anything.
Aggressive
Being forceful and hostile towards others or things. People who bully and harm others in physical and emotional ways are often known to be aggressive.
Assertive
Someone who is assertive is not afraid to state things to others. Standing up to others for others or your rights. Acknowledging both your and others needs/wants.
STRATEGIES FOR BEING ASSERTIVE
Knowing your priorities, what is important to you and how you will make sure you keep those priorities.
Eye contact, if you can’t maintain eye contact it will make you look and feel passive, if you can’t look someone in the eye look at their nose or forehead and make sure you know who you are talking to not just calling out ‘Hey you’ and expecting them to know it’s them you are talking to.
Body language, stand up straight, stand firm and don’t slouch, it will make you look and sound less convincing if you are trying to get something.
Voice, speak out, be loud, make your point, make sure what you say is heard and taken in by others.
“I” statements, don’t make it when you speak it’s all about what others are doing, make it about what you feel,
Small victories, celebrate them, they will help you become more confident and learn to celebrate thing you can do.
