Taha Tinana Wellbeing

A crew is preparing for a long space mission. Use the Te Whare Tapa Whā model to help them protect taha tinana (physical wellbeing) and understand how it connects with other dimensions of hauora. Answer from the information in this worksheet; personal sharing is optional.

Mission log: the crew’s routines

Aisha, Losa and Hemi are planning a month-long research mission. Their work schedule is busy, so the crew is designing routines that support physical wellbeing without assuming everyone has the same body, needs or abilities.

1.In Te Whare Tapa Whā, what does taha tinana refer to?

Physical wellbeing, including caring for the body
Only being good at sport
A person’s friendships
A person’s beliefs only

2.The crew is choosing habits for its daily plan. Select the three options that can support taha tinana.

Getting enough rest and sleep
Eating regular, nourishing meals and drinking water
Including suitable movement and activity
Ignoring ongoing pain or illness
Staying awake as long as possible

3.Hemi has a sore ankle after a training session. He feels pressure to keep going so the crew does not fall behind. Give one sensible action Hemi could take and explain why it supports taha tinana.

4.True or false: taha tinana is completely separate from mental and emotional wellbeing.

TrueFalse

Check the connections

The crew notices that long shifts and poor sleep leave them tired. They are less patient with one another and find it harder to concentrate. They agree to review their routine together and make changes that suit each crew member.

5.Match each example in List A with the Te Whare Tapa Whā dimension in List B that it most directly describes. A dimension may be used more than once. List A A. Making time to talk with and support the crew B. Getting advice about persistent pain C. Finding time for reflection and personal values D. Using a calming strategy when feeling overwhelmed List B 1. Taha hinengaro 2. Taha wairua 3. Taha tinana 4. Taha whānau

6.Use the mission log to explain one way that strain on taha tinana could affect another wall of the whare. Include a detail from the scenario.

7.The crew needs to make its routine inclusive. Give one question they could ask before planning a group physical activity, and explain why asking matters.

8.Which is the strongest example of a realistic, specific wellbeing goal for the mission crew?

We will become perfectly healthy immediately.
For the next two weeks, we will take a 15-minute movement break on four workdays, adapting the activity to each person.
We will exercise whenever we remember.
Nobody will ever feel tired again.

Plan a sustainable change

A good wellbeing plan should be practical, flexible and safe. It can involve everyday choices such as movement, rest, food, hydration, hygiene or seeking support. Progress does not need to be perfect to be worthwhile.

9.Write one specific action the crew could try to support taha tinana. Include when or how often they will do it, and one way to adapt it if needed.

10.Name one person or service listed below that the crew member could approach if they have an ongoing health concern, and explain why getting support can help. Support options: a trusted adult, whānau member, school health professional, nurse or doctor.
