1. Physiological Needs. Food, water, clothing, sleep, and shelter are the bare necessities for anyone's survival. For many people, these basic needs can not be met without the aid of charitable organizations.
To sustain human life, certain physiological needs include air, water, food, shelter, sanitation, touch, sleep and personal space.
Abraham Maslow proposed a hierarchy of needs beginning with the need for food, water, and shelter followed by the need for safety and security, then belonging or love, self-esteem and, finally, personal fulfillment and self-actualization.
#1: Physiological Needs
Physiological needs are the lowest level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. They are the most essential things a person needs to survive.
Jaan Panskepp, a radical neuroscientist identified human beings are driven by seven ancient instincts, or “primary-process affective systems,”. These are seeking, anger, fear, panic-grief, care, pleasure/lust and play.
Sex desire is the most powerful of human desires. When driven by this desire, men develop keenness of imagination, courage, willpower, persistence, and creative ability unknown to them at other times.
But other desires kept them active: four in particular, which we can label acquisitiveness, rivalry, vanity, and love of power.
Physiological needs are the most basic of Maslow's hierarchy. These are the essentials people need for physical survival. Examples include air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sleep, and health. If you fail to meet these needs, your body cannot function properly.
Self-actualization needs: Self-actualization describes the fulfillment of your full potential as a person. Sometimes called self-fulfillment needs, self-actualization needs occupy the highest spot on Maslow's pyramid.
Self-actualization needs are at the very top of Maslow's hierarchy. "What a man can be, he must be," Maslow said, alluding to people's desire to reach their full human potential.
In this case, a) Esteem is not basic needs. According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the basic needs are what each person needs to survive and continue living. People strive to meet these needs first.
Psychological Needs. Self-determination theory suggests that all humans have three basic psychological needs—autonomy, competence, and relatedness—that underlie growth and development.
According to SDT there are three psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness) that are universally important for psychological wellbeing and autonomous motivation.
Good relationships are one of the best ways to enjoy happiness, health, and well-being. Developing certain emotional skills can help us form and keep good relationships. When we are there for the people in our lives — and when they're there for us — we are more resilient, resourceful, and successful.
Developed by psychiatrist William Glasser, Choice Theory states humans are motivated by a never-ending quest to satisfy 5 basic needs woven into our genes: to love and belong, to be powerful, to be free, to have fun and to survive. Specifically: Survival, belonging, power, freedom, and fun.
We want health, wealth, comfort, good relationships, success, good progeny and fame. There are also spiritual desires - we have a desire to know about life after death, about how to remain detached and equanimous under all kinds of circumstances and we want to be at peace.
Self-actualization needs are also referred to as our 'being' needs; these include personal and creative self-growth, which are achieved through the fulfilment of our full potential.
The pinnacle of Maslow's original hierarchy was self-actualisation. This is perhaps the hardest level to define, as it means different things to different people.
“The deepest desire of every human heart is to be known and to be loved,” Father Joe Campbell said in a Feast of St. Joseph the Worker homily Saturday. “This desire reaches its fullness in the desire to be known by God Himself.”
Safety, belonging, and mattering are essential to your brain and your ability to perform at work, at home, and in life overall.
Goals, like mindset, beliefs, expectations, and self-concept, are sources of internal motives. These cognitive sources of motivation unite and spring us into action. Goals are generated by what is NOT, or in other words, a discrepancy between where we are and where we want to be.
Our deepest darkest desires are the things we hide not only from family and friends but also from ourselves. We shield these desires behind a duplicitous well-intentioned facade. This is not something everyone can maintain. Hiding in plain sight are our most despicable secrets.
A woman wants a man to be strong both physically and mentally because that's what makes her happy and feel safe and protected. A man who is honest: A woman doesn't like a dishonest man. She wants to be an important part of his life. So, a man needs to be honest to the woman in his life, no matter what happens.
Humanity's greatest desire is to belong and connect. And now we see each other. We hear each other. We share what we love, and it reminds us what we all have in common.
There are four basic needs: The need for Attachment; the need for Control/Orientation; the need for Pleasure/Avoidance of Pain; and the need for Self-Enhancement.
