  1. Unit 1: Self-Responsibility for Wellness • Journal • Share • Notes

  2. Journal • Health Appraisal. • Look at the list on the board and number your journal 1-20. • Write yes or no next to each number after thinking about the statement. • Then write a paragraph evaluating your overall health, taking in your physical, mental, and social health.

  3. What is Health? • HEALTH is a quality of life that includes your physical, mental, and social well-being. • Physical is the condition of your body. • Mental is the condition of your mind and emotions. • Social is the way you relate to others.

  4. Healthful vs. Risk Behaviors • A HEALTHFUL behavior is an action that helps prevent illness and accidents, helps promote health for you and others, or improves the quality of the environment. • Examples: wearing a seatbelt, exercising regularly, eating healthful foods, getting enough sleep and relaxation.

  5. Unhealthy Healthy (The TRUTH hurts)

  6. Healthful vs. Risk Behaviors • A RISK behavior is an action that helps increase the likelihood of illness and accidents, threatens your health and the health of others, or helps destroy the environment. • Examples: smoking cigarettes, snowboarding without helmet, using illegal drugs, and throwing plastic bottles in the regular trashcan.

  7. A Balanced Lifestyle • The combination of the PMS of health contribute to a balanced lifestyle. • The following health and risk items affect each other: safety and first aid, community and environment, mental health, family and social health, growth and development, nutrition, exercise and fitness, drugs, disease and disorders, consumer and personal health.

  8. Goals • The first step to accomplishing things is to set a goal. • A GOAL is a desired achievement toward which you work. • What are some of your goals?

  9. Making a Plan • After setting a goal, your next step is to make a plan. • A PLAN is a detailed description of he steps you will take to reach your goal. • Saying “get better grades” is a goal, but “try harder” is not a real plan…

  10. A Real Plan • A real plan for attaining higher grades might look like this: • I will put time aside from 7-9 each night to do my homework. • I will not have any ims/ web sites open on my computer that are not directly connected to my homework. • I will make flashcards for studying for all tests.

  11. Making Responsible Decisions About Health • You make many decisions every day about a variety of subjects. Think about some of the decisions you have already made today (what to eat, to wear your seatbelt, be nice/rude to a teacher, etc.)

  12. Making Responsible Decisions About Health • The problem solving approach is a series of steps you apply to a situation to help you make a responsible decision. Consider each of the following steps in the problem-solving approach:

  13. Making Responsible Decisions About Health • 1. Identify the problem • 2. Identify ways to deal with the problem • 3. Apply criteria for responsible decision making to each alternative • Would the results of my decisions Be healthful? Be safe? Be legal? Show respect for myself and others? Follow my parents or guardians guidelines? • 4. Make a responsible decision and act upon it. • 5. Evaluate your actions.

  14. Example • 1. I didn’t study for a test • 2. Cheat. Tell teacher I didn’t study. Cram. Skip class. Do my best and take the consequences. • 3. Maybe legal and physically safe, but I would not be showing respect for myself, others, or my parents unless I chose “cram” and “do my best” or “tell teacher”. • 4. I would decide to both cram and do my best. • 5. I can look at myself in the mirror and know I have self respect. I will do better next time.
