Te Whare Tapa Wha: Wairua

My Taha Wairua is strong when:

 - I am setting goals for myself each week to achieve


- I am more grateful for life lessons 


- I feel a sense of purpose


- I listen to prayers or say one


Taha Wairua is our ‘spiritual well-being.’ It's different for some, I see it as our life force. It’s what drives us, and gives us a sense of purpose of where we’re going. For me spiritual health is knowing who you are and having a sense of purpose, as this contributes to our overall happiness. It's also connected to religion and our beliefs. I don't go to church but I come from a strong Christian family who pray morning and night everyday. Though when I think about my Taha Wairua, I think about where I am in life and my teaching career. This year has really challenged my teaching career, with the lockdown and distance learning. It was alot to handle, but I made it in the end and I learnt a to, and I mean alot. 


Here is my prayer I said during this weeks Staff Meeting 10/08/2020:


Dear Lord


As we meet today, come be with us. We ask that you guide our thoughts, ideas and decisions.


In Jesus name we say, Amen

Taha wairua - MAS
