1. GETTING TO KNOW YOURSELF

2. Body Awareness Body awareness is the sense that we have of our own bodies. It is an understanding of the parts that make up ones body where they are located, how they feel, and even what they can do. Body awareness develops as we grow and mature. Examples of body awareness: Physical changes Learning ability of a child improves as he/she grows up.

3. Throughout your life, you have to make healthy decisions for yourself and your family. Your decisions will influence your total well-being including the quality and cost of your care. To have a sound body, one must have a sound of mind.

4. What is health ? If we heard the word “health” the first thing that comes up to our mind is the condition of being well or free from disease. But… According to the World Health Organization (WHO) , health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social awareness, it is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This definition emphasizes health as a positive state of well-being, not just absence of disease. World Health Organization (WHO) - is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for International public health. The WHO Constitution, which establishes the agency's governing structure and principles, states its main object as “the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health.”

5. Emotional, physical and social well-being allows people to fulfill their responsibilities, function effectively in daily activities, and have satisfaction in their intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships.

6. What is mental health ? Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

7. Six Components of Mental Health by Mohr 2003 Autonomy and Independence Maximization of One’s Potential Tolerance of Life’s Uncertainties Self-Esteem Mastery of Environment Stress Management

8. Autonomy and Independence The person can look within for guiding values and rules by which to live. He or she considers the opinions and wishes of others but does not allow them to dictate decisions and behavior. An autonomous person can still cooperate to others. "There are two paths you can take, Enola: yours, or the path others choose for you."

9. Maximization of One’s Potential The person is oriented toward growth and self-actualization. He or she is not content with the status quo and continually strives to grow as a person.

10. Tolerance of Life’s Uncertainties The person can face the challenges of day-to-day living with hope and a positive outlook despite not knowing what lies ahead. “Life isn't perfect but we all have a chance, an opportunity or a right to embrace each new day to do many things.” - Byron Pulsifer

11. Self-esteem The person has a realistic awareness of his or her abilities and limitations. "Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?" - Brigham Young

12. Mastery of the Environment The person can distinguish the real world from dream, fact from fantasy, and act accordingly. “Environment is no one’s property to destroy; it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect.” – Mohith Agadi

13. Stress Management The person can tolerate life stresses. He/She can appropriately handle anxiety or grief, and experience failure without devastation. He or she has support from family and friends to cope up with crises and to realize that the stress will not last. “Give your stress wings and let it fly away.” —Terri Guillemets

14. Factors Influencing a Person’s Mental Health Individual Interpersonal Social/Cultural

15. Social/Cultural Include a sense of community, access to adequate resources, intolerance of violence, and support of diversity among people (Videbeck, 2004). Individual Include a person’s biological makeup. Sense of harmony in life, vitality, ability to find meaning in life, emotional resilience or hardiness, spirituality and positive identity (Seaward, 1997). Interpersonal Include effective communication, ability to help others, intimacy, and a balance of separateness and connection.

16. Different Movements of the Joints (Upper and Lower Limb )

17. What is a joint? A point where two bones meet. Function: Body movement by muscle contraction across joints (common in limbs, depends on how mobile the joint is and the location of the muscle in relation to the joint). Allows bones to bend without damage (if the type of joint permits movement).

18. Types of movements 1. Flexion 2. Extension 3. Abduction 4. Adduction 5. Rotation 6. Circumduction 7. Pronation 8. Supination 9. Inversion 10. Eversion 11. Dorsiflexion 12. Plantar flexion

19. Flexion - is a movement that decreases the angle of the joint and brings two bones together. - typical in the hinge joints like the (example) bending of knees and elbows. - also common at the ball-and-socket joints like (example) bending forward at the hip.

20. Extension - Opposite of flexion - Is a movement that increases the angle, or distance, between the bones or parts of the body - Example: straightening the knee or elbow

21. Abduction - Moving the limb away from the midline of the body - Also applies to the fanning movement of the fingers or toes when they spread apart - Example: raising arm sideways

22. Adduction - Opposite of abduction - Is the movement of a limb toward the body midline - Example: raising the arms sideward then lowering the arms to the side of the body

23. Rotation - Turning of the head side to side or twisting of the body is rotation. - Lateral rotation - Internal rotation

24. Circumduction - Circumduction is a special type of movement that is actually a combination of many other ones.

25. Pronation - is moving the palm from an anterior or upward facing position to a posterior or downward facing position.

26. Supination - is moving the palm from a posterior position to an anterior position. Supination is the opposite of pronation.

27. Inversion - is a special movement of the foot. - the turning of the sole of the foot facing medially.

28. Eversion - is turning the sole of the foot laterally. Eversion is the opposite of inversion.

29. Dorsiflexion - is the movement at the ankle that allows the instep of the foot to move up and towards the shin.

30. Plantar flexion - straightens the ankle joint, causing the toes to point downward and standing on your toes.
