O moli emoemo e teuteu ai niu, o musika fiafia ua faatumulia ai le ea, ma ua potopoto aiga mo tafaoga i autafa o le matafaga\u2014o le vaitau o aso malolo i Hawai\u02bbi! Mo tagata matutua, peita\u02bbi, o se vaitau o le lua: o se fa\u02bbamanatuga fa\u02bbafefiloi ma le mamafa o talosaga i kolisi. A'o lata mai le vasega o le fa'au'uga o le 2025, ua fa'ailoa mai e Tesema le tumutumuga o le vaitau o talosaga i le kolisi-o se taimi taua mo le tuputupu a'e, manatunatuga, ma tapenapenaga, lea e tusia ai tala uma, tusi talosaga, ma fa'amatalaga fa'aopoopo e fa'aopoopo i le tala oa tatou malaga tulaga ese. O le sailia o se paleni i le va o lo tatou lumana\u02bbi ma le taimi nei o le maatulimanu lea o lenei aso malolo. O le tu\u02bbuina atu o se talosaga mamana e taua tele, ae o le tu\u02bbuina atu o lo tatou soifua maloloina faaletino ma le mafaufau tutusa le tele o le tausiga ma le gauai e tutusa lava le taua. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O le faagasologa o talosaga a le kolisi e lagona e pei o le sauniuni mo se tausamiga tele o aso malolo - fa\u02bbamalosia ma mana\u02bbomia se taumafaiga tele, ae mulimuli ane, o le fa\u02bbalapotopotoga o le ki. O le tagata lava ia, i taeao uma, ou te fa\u02bbaaluina 10 minute e nofo i lalo ma tusi a\u02bbu fuafuaga i aso taitasi. I le taimi lea, ou te fatuina ni sini pupuu e ausia i le aso, i le faasologa o le faamuamua, e mafai ai ona ou siaki lo\u02bbu alualu i luma. O le fa\u02bbalapotopotoga e fa\u02bbaitiitia ai le atuatuvale ma fa\u02bbatagaina aso faigaluega malie e talepe ai le vevesi, fa\u02bbaliliuina i ni laasaga faigofie. O lenei vaitau e le na'o le mea o lo'o tatou aga'i i ai ae o le fa'amanatuina o le mamao ua tatou o'o mai ai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O le fa\u02bbamae\u02bbaina o au tusi talosaga i kolisi e mana\u02bbomia le taimi, ia fa\u02bbaaoga. I lo\u02bbu poto masani, o le mea lilo faalilolilo o lo\u02bbo tali fa\u02bbamaoni a\u02bbo fa\u02bbalua-siaki e fatu ai fa\u02bbamalieina i\u02bbuga. O le faitauina e isi o au tala o le a faalautele ai lau vaaiga; mo a'u, se'iloga ua faitaulia e le anoano o tagata la'u tala ona ou ta'ua lea o se afifi. Ua o\u02bbo mai le taimi e fa\u02bbapotopoto ai mea uma na e a\u02bboa\u02bboina, au mafutaga fa\u02bbavae, ma sini na e tulimata\u02bbia ma le naunautai, mea uma e fa\u02bbata\u02bbita\u02bbia ai lau fa\u02bbaaliga o se lumana\u02bbi atoatoa. O le faapaleniina o lenei tiute e foliga mai e lofituina ma a\u02bboa\u02bboga, ta\u02bbaloga, ma isi mea fa\u02bbaopoopo e fa\u02bbasilisili ai ona taua le fa\u02bbalagolago ia i latou o lo\u02bbo siomia oe. O le aapa atu ma le fa'alagolago i lau faiga lagolago a faufautua, faiaoga, aiga, ma uo e suia ai le faagasologa i se malaga fefa'asoaa'i nai lo se galuega faigata, tuto'atasi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O kolisi e fa\u02bbatauaina le fa\u02bbamaoni, o lea e leai se mafuaaga e tulituliloa ai le atoatoa. O le tele o uunaiga e fesiligia e kolisi o mea ia ou te lei mafaufau lava e fesili ifo ia te au lava. O le faagasologa o talosaga a le kolisi e mafai ai ona ou su\u02bbesu\u02bbeina a\u02bbu lava i le auala lava e tasi ou te su\u02bbesu\u02bbeina ai kolisi aoga. Nai lo le tali atu i se auala e te manatu e mana\u02bbo ai kolisi, tali e pei o oe lava - e mana\u02bbo kolisi oe moni e te alu i la latou kolisi, ae le o se fa\u02bbamatalaga le talafeagai na faia e fa\u02bbamalieina ai fesili. Faaalu le taimi e malolo ai, faapelepele i au mafutaga, ma ia e iloa i taimi uma e te sau muamua. O le faia o mea e te fiafia i ai e fa\u02bbaitiitia ai le atuatuvale, pe tu\u02bbu se taimi mo au mea e te fiafia i ai, fa\u02bbaalu se aso e taula\u02bbi ai oe, po\u02bbo le fa\u02bbatau foi mo meaalofa o aso malolo, e fa\u02bbaleleia atili ai lau gaosiga. O le malolo mai nisi mea e mafai foi ona fa\u02bbamaonia le taua. Mo nisi, atonu o se malologa lea mai ala o feso'ota'iga, galuega a'oga, po'o se tusi talosaga i le kolisi\u2014peita'i, o le la'a i tua e mafai ai ona e va'ai manino atili. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

E le gata i lea, ina ia ausia se vaitau manuia o talosaga i kolisi, auai i lou soifua maloloina faaletino, lea e aafia tuusa\u02bbo ai le mafai ona faia galuega i aso taitasi, e taua. I lenei taimi o le tausaga, e pupuu aso, ma le tele o mea e ausia. O le fa\u02bbamautuina o faamalositino i aso uma, paleni paleni, ma le lava o le moe e fa\u02bbaleleia ai le malosi faaletino, tumau, manino le mafaufau, ma le maufetuuna\u02bbi. O le tausia lelei o le soifua maloloina faaletino e fesoasoani e puipuia ai ma\u02bbi, fa\u02bbaleleia lagona e ala i le tu\u02bbuina atu o endorphins, ma fa\u02bbateleina ai lo tatou gafatia e taulimaina ai le atuatuvale. E ala i le faamuamua o o tatou tino, tatou te faaauupegaina ai i tatou lava e foia luitau, tulituliloaina o sini, ma ola ai i le olaga i lona tulaga atoatoa. Ae ou te lei amataina se talosaga i le kolisi, ou te auai i se gaoioiga e faatumauina ai lou ola mama, e maua ai le taulai atu ma le faaosofia i le taimi o le sauniga. O nisi o gaoioiga ou te fiafia i ai e aofia ai le pese, savali, taalo pikopolo, po o le faaaluina o taimi lelei ma lou aiga ma fagafao. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A o tatou fa\u02bbatautaia le vaitau o talosaga i kolisi, e faigofie ona fa\u02bbaumatia i le faanatinati o taimi fa\u02bbatapula\u02bba ma le mamafa o le fa\u02bbatulagaina o tatou lumana\u02bbi. Ae ui i lea, o lenei faagasologa e le o mea uma e uiga i le sini mulimuli ae o le faigamalaga o le tuputupu ae ma le a\u02bboa\u02bboina e tausia i tatou lava i luga o le ala. O le faapaleniina o manaoga o lenei taimi, faatasi ai ma lo tatou soifua maloloina faalemafaufau ma faaletino e faamanatu mai ai ia i tatou o le manuia e le na o mea na ausia i luga o se fasipepa ae o le maufetuuna\u02bbi ma le poto tatou te atiina ae i le faagasologa. Talia lu'itau, faapelepele i nai manumalo laiti, ma ia manatua o le tausia o oe lava o le tupe sili lea ona taua e mafai ona e faia mo lou lumanai!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
