Te Whare Tapa Wha is a model of the 4 dimensions of wellbeing developed by Ta Mason Durie in 1984
to provide a Maori perspective on health.
The 4 dimensions are:
taha tinana (physical wellbeing)
taha hinengaro (mental wellbeing)
taha wairua (spiritual wellbeing)
taha whanau (family wellbeing)
The wharenui has connections to the whenua (land, sea, natural world)
which forms the foundations for the four dimensions
Taha Wairua (spiritual wellbeing):
One thing i would like to go outside and enjoy getting fresh air in my breaks.
I plan to meditate aswell with the breathing exercises.
Te Taha Hinengaro (mental wellbeing):
I plan to do my meditation before study and sometimes in between sessions in order to stay calm and focused.
Making sure i watch something funny sometime during the day to make me laugh as i think it is crucial to laugh everyday, it is good for the soul.
Te Taha Tinana (physical wellbeing):
I already go to the gym 3 - 4 times a week as i gained a lot of weight this year.
One of the most important aspects of the physical side is sleep, i plan to get enough rest everynight during the week.
Te Taha Whanau(family wellbeing):
I plan to hang out with my friends at least once or twice per week.
