Max,

Where is your week 8 post? 0/10

Week 7 post does not include the HELP strategy when weighing possible outcomes. You should have related your decision to your total health to help you weigh possible outcomes. You have earned a 7/10.

Week 6 post is missing a necessary connection. You have identified each influence on your health and you have even identified a specific influence in your own life; however, you have not made the connection as to how each influence has impacted your health. For example, you state tat your family is strict and that you usually do what they tell you to do (this is a wise choice, by the way), but how does this impact your health? These are the connections I need you to make. You have earned a 5/10 because you did not make these connections.

For this blog posting I've chosen my decision to play basketball.

Step 1: The situation was whether or not I should play basketball, most of my friends were involved, and this decision would probably positively affect my health.

Step 2: I could play or I could not play, I did consult with my mom and some of my friends.

Step 3: Outcomes are I play and have fun I play and I don't have fun, or I play and get hurt.

Step 4: This will reflect my values because my character is that I play a lot of sports.

Step 5: I decided I should play basketball, my parents and friends agreed, The consequences of not playing are worse than if I did play, and It reflected our values.

Step 6: I haven't fully completed the action yet so I can't say if it was a good or bad decision but from past times I've enjoyed basketball, so I probably would make this decision over again

The first influence on me was my personal values they influenced me in the way my prejudiced thought already is. My beliefs influence me in the way that because I'm a Christian, God is always a factor that I take into consideration. My perception is my point of view or from how I see stuff, like my choice to play basketball was mostly thought out by the fact that I'm tall. My curiosity and fears always affect my decision, but mostly curiosity because I don't want to let fear run my life. My family and culture is probably the biggest reason I make certain decisions because my mom and dad are so strict and they always tell what I should do. Media and technology is not usually a influence on me but I assume that people use it to make decisions because it tells them stuff about health. Friends and peers is always a factor in my decisions because they always just tell you what to do and because you trust them, you just do it, unless it's dumb. School and community just basically tells you to do school before pretty much all else and your community tells you to play sports and go to church.

Abstinence is the deliberate choice to avoid or stay away from a certain substance. Abstinence is basically a benefactor for your health because it's like this you can't get addicted if you don't do it. Abstinence is in my life because I've made the decision not to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or use illicit drugs. Abstinence affects your health because it is a positive thing that is meant to protect you from harmful things such as drugs, alcohol, or smoking cigarettes.

Lifestyle factors are daily things that you may do that can positively or negatively affect your health. Lifestyle factors are generally good but they tie into risk behaviors. They can be pretty much anything you do that can positively

1. I eat healthy (I try)

2. I participate in plenty of physical activity

3. abstinence from smoking

4. abstinence from drinking

5. abstinence from illicit drugs

6. maintaining healthy weight

7. eating breakfast

8. i shower everyday

9. i wear a seat belt

10. i don't play with fire

The fifth and final influence is media and technology, which is probably the most random of all of our influences. One second we could be doing something good on the internet and then you could press a link and be reading something horrible. It could be positive or negative, but like I said it's your choices that could get you into that mess.

This picture represents the technology in the world and how it is what the media uses.

# data[].attributes.body
The fourth influence is behavior choices. A.K.A The choices we make in our everyday life. Every other influence ties into this. You can choose to have a good attitude or a bad one. You can choose whether you have a good environment after a certain age. You can choose to develop your parents bad habits.

This is a picture of the good and the bad choices you can make pretty much everyday. This is represents all the choices we have and what choices we should and shouldn't make

# data[].attributes.body
The third influence is attitude, It is mostly a negative one because most people tend to act like everything is always bad no matter how wrong they are. This also depends on each individual person, making it a highly changeable question or influence on us. This is someone with a bad attitude and probably bad health. Like I said most people just tend to have really negative attitudes towards everything.

# data[].attributes.body
The next influence is our environment. I like to think of environment as only positive because if you see a random person doing a good thing they're good and you want to be like them. I fthey're doing something bad though, they're a horrible person and you couldn't want to be like them

This is a picture of the good samaritan parable it represents how if we see a person we don't know do a good deed we think they're good evm if we don't know them.

influences that effect our health are heredity, environment, attitude, behavior choices, and media and technology

Heredity can positively and negatively effect your health. It usually works both ways because you could get your parents athleticism or their brain or something else good, but you could also get their bad habits or their good habits.

This picture represents a father's bad habits that he could have. A child could see that and think it's ok and want to do it.

Next part is above this because my tablet wouldn't let me type under the picture

Max,

I see your updates. Please know that the more thought and reflection you add to your blog the better. You have met minimum requirements for your week 2 posting. I see the picture you added for the week 1 post and the description as to how it relates to your total health.

Make sure you are staying up-to-date with your blog. Projects are worth 25% of your grade.

1. My wheel would roll fairly smooth, a couple of bumps

2. I think it says I'm doing very well

3. No, I thought it was all very correct

4. They make me feel very good about myseld

5. I dislike my mental health because I thought it would be higher.

6. I like my social health, I thought it would be lower

I thought this project would be an eye opener for someone who was brutally honest about it. I thought it was pretty beneficial for me. It was beneficial because I think I'm going to try to improve my mental health using that wheel. I think you should continue to do this project for future classes.

Where is your week 2 blog posting? Make sure you are looking at Edline under the "Contents" section in "Blog Postings." You are missing a picture for your week 1 blog post. The picture should relate to the health triangle.

# data[].attributes.body
Physical, Social, and emotional/mental health. Physical is how much exercise you get and how active you are in your daily life. Social is the type of people you surround yourself with or your friends. Emotional/mental health is how sane you are, how much sleep you get, and stress contribute good or bad to this category.

My knowledge of the health triangle will help me because maybe I'll realize how out of shape I am and just remember the health triangle and fix it. The health triangle will also help me to remember other things I learn by jogging my memory.

The health triangle would also be a great thing to teach my family and friends who don't about it. It is a very helpful utility used to describe health and is greatly beneficial to you if you know it properly.

This is a picture of me from about 6th grade when I played football. It has helped my physical health because I have played football for so long and it has helped me become a better athlete.
