Kia Ora,
It is mental health awareness week. MĀ TE KŌRERO, KA ORA - A little chat goes a long way. Through conversation comes wellbeing. Whether you need to talk to someone - or you can think of someone who would appreciate a call - do pick up the phone and have a chat.
Last year we ran an inquiry around Hauora and Te Whare Tapa Wha. Here is a reflection on Te Whare Tapa Wha:
Taha hinengaro is your emotional and mental wellbeing. I hope you are being kind to yourselves.
Tahi whanau is your social wellbeing. Have you phoned your grandparent/s or an elderly relative who is home alone today? Just a quick cheery "hi, how are ya?". Getting on with whanau in a shared bubble can be challenging - but family can also be a great source of love and company.
Tahi tinana is your physical wellbeing. I bet you're better at exercising than I am! A daily walk is lovely though. And I've been doing some online Pilates and hopping on the exercise bike now and then :)
Taha wairua is your spiritual wellbeing, "the values and beliefs that determine the way people live, the search for meaning and purpose in life, and personal identity and self-awareness (For some individuals and communities, spiritual wellbeing is linked to a particular religion; for others, it is not.)"
Ka kite ano
Kate
