Session 1 · THRIVE: Improve
Mid-trial check
- 10 minLook at your tracker. How many days so far? Any pattern in your feeling ratings?
- 15 minTroubleshoot: what got in the way? Was the cue too vague, the habit too big, the reward missing?
- 15 minAdjust one thing to make the habit easier: a smaller step, a clearer cue, a new place.
- 10 minKererū asks one question about your trial. Write your answer in your book.
Session 2 · THRIVE: Value
Why it matters to me
- 15 minValues: what do you care about that this habit protects? Energy for sport, time with whānau, feeling calm, doing well at kapa haka?
- 20 minStudent-led movement session: volunteers lead the warm-up they designed, then a game everyone can join.
- 15 minWrite a short letter to your future self about why this change matters, and what you hope you'll notice by the end.
Getting started
If the habit is too hard, halve it. Two minutes a day counts.
Stretch
Compare the first and second half of your trial so far. Is the habit getting easier? How can you tell?
Checkpoint
Every student can say what they changed in their trial and why.
