Get Your NEEDS Met

We know that we need air, water, shelter, and food to have our physical needs met.  But we also need to have our Personal ‘Needs’ met. So much of WHO we are is influenced by HOW we get these personal needs met. Often, needs direct major life decisions until they are met. Needs can also sit on top of, or get in the way of, a person clearly identifying their values and living life based on those values. A NEED is a must for you to be your best!! For example, you may need to be accepted, to accomplish, to be acknowledged, to be loved, or cared for.

When our needs are not met we slip into unhealthy and unproductive ways of behaving or interacting with others.  We also attract needy people into our world.  .

NEEDS

  • Drive us
  • They are unique and normal to the individual.
  • If not they are addictions or compulsions.
  • Needs are temporary.
  • Needs change.
  • Needs are a lifetime activity.
  • With met needs we can be ourselves.
  • Free up time.
  • Move on.
  • Plug the holes.
  • Skill mastered.
  • Orientate life around values.
