In this episode of the B ME Podcast, we start to delve into the reasons behind why we do what we do. This is part 1 of a six-part series that uncovers the needs driving our behaviours—both the ones that serve us and those that don’t. Have you ever wondered why certain habits stick, even when they don’t seem to serve you? There’s a reason behind every action we take, and it often ties back to our fundamental human needs. Join me as I explore how understanding these needs can help you shift from dysfunctional to functional habits, ultimately creating a better, more fulfilling life.
Episode Highlights:
Introduction to the six human needs: Certainty, Variety, Love and Connection, Significance, Growth, and Contribution.
Understanding how these needs drive our behaviours, whether they serve us or not.
Real-life examples, including how exercise can meet all six needs and why smoking might fulfil certain needs despite being unhealthy.
Practical advice on how to replace dysfunctional habits with ones that serve you by meeting the same needs at a higher level.
