Whakawhetai Gratitude Journal

This beautiful WHAKAWHETAI Gratitude: A Daily Bilingual Journal is written by Hira Nathan.

Electrician-turned-writer Hira (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngā Puhi) created this whakawhetai (gratitude) journal with te ao Māori at its core. It is an inspirational, bilingual gratitude journal, based on the Māori holistic approach to health/hauora.

Discover the four dimensions of hauora: taha tinana (physical), taha hinengaro (mental), taha wairua (spiritual) and taha whānau (family).

No matter how difficult life can seem, there is always something to feel grateful for. Taking note regularly of the positives - no matter how small - in each of these areas of your life can have a huge impact on your health and happiness.

Throughout the journal are whakataukī and inspirational quotes in both te reo Māori and English. So, whether you are Māori, tauiwi, a fluent speaker or just beginning, this journal is for you. More than anything, it is a chance for you to centre yourself and celebrate your life.

E hoa mā, inā te ora o te tangata. My friends, this is the essence of life.
