Using the Four Tendencies to Promote Health Behavior Change

Understanding how we respond to expectations can better enable us with skills that help us change or make healthy behavior choices. Based on Gretchen Rubin’s book, The Four Tendencies (2017), we can use the personality profile quiz to examine how inner and outer expectations determines our behavior tendency (upholder, obliger, rebel, questioner). Understanding our tendency can help improve health behavior change outcomes. This presentation will explore the application of using an individual’s tendency in order to understand how each tendency affects health behaviors; how we can use tendency knowledge to promote healthy behavior choices and provide impact; and effective tendency strategies when working with students or clients.

How a balance between mind, body and soul brings harmony within the body. Mind, body and soul is balanced through the 6 foundational principles; Proper breathing & how stress/lifestyle factors can affect this, Food & Nutrition and how it is different for each individual student, Proper movement (7 Primal types) & the importance of learning proper technique, Positive thinking of ourselves & our world, Proper hydration (all water is not equal), Sleeping, Active Rest and & Passive Rest (Meditation, Work-ins, Tai-Chi). When we find balance (Yin/Yang) within the 6 Foundational Principles we clear away physical and emotional clutter, relieve ourselves of unhealthy symptoms, improve our digestion, nutrition and eating habits, we learn to let go of worry, stress, anxieties, and depressions, and we take responsibility for our own lives while we learn how to set realistic and obtainable goals.

Last fall, our school district began updating our Health Curriculum. Come hear the why and how we changed our curriculum to follow SHAPE America's National Health Education Standards. Why are so many teachers still teaching content when students can look up the information in 2 minutes? Giving students opportunities to apply the national standards in a safe environment (your classroom) can help them develop the necessary skills to make healthy choices for a lifetime.

Making healthy choices as a high schooler can be difficult for many reasons. And if your students aren’t making healthy choices the results can be life-altering. Healthe Foundations teaches students about preventable health conditions and encourages lifelong personal well-being in an engaging online format. Using real-world experience, students investigate, diagnose and treat their “virtual” patient that has a preventable medical condition. Once diagnosed, students put together a project to educate their patient - setting goals to improve their dietary and fitness levels - then orally presenting their findings.

Findings from the 2017 National School Climate Survey (NSCS) by GLSEN uncovered devastating realities for Missouri youth and point to the need for advocates to continue to rally behind strategic implementation of LGBTQ+ inclusion in Missouri schools. Only 14% of students across the country reported having LGBTQ inclusive curriculum of any type taught in their schools, a number that has stayed the same since GLSEN’s 2013 NSCS. Additionally, only 3% of Missouri students surveyed reported receiving inclusive sex education. According to the CDC’s reports on Health Risks Among Sexual Minority Youth, LGBTQ+ youth are at higher risk than non-LGTBQ+ students of experiencing dating violence or forced sex, and are more vulnerable to some sexual risk behaviors and unintended pregnancy (CDC, 2019). Despite these disheartening facts, there are reasons to be optimistic about sexual health education moving forward. In March of 2019, Gender Spectrum released the first-ever comprehensive principles for gender-inclusive puberty and health education (PHE). These principles were reviewed by national experts and are designed to affirm and recognize all students in sexual health education classes. They can be used in conjunction with any curriculum to ensure that all students receive the health knowledge and skills they need.
In this session, we will provide an overview of the principles for gender-inclusive puberty and health education along with GLSEN’s recommendations for creating safe and inclusive schools. Resources to support next steps will be introduced followed by a facilitated discussion to incorporate ideas and experiences from the audience.
