Life Beneath The Shallows

Ep. 15 The 6 Human Needs (focusing on your WHY vs. HOW)


Listen Later

Hi beautiful friends!

I am so happy to be back with a new episode. This week we are diving into The 6 Human Needs which is something I learned from Tony Robbins (a big mentor in my self-development). The 6 Human Needs are...Certainty, Growth, Contribution, Significance, Love(connection), and Variety(Uncertainty). 

We meet our needs in unhealthy and healthy ways. Most of us aren't even conscious of the negative ways we are meeting these ways. All it takes is an awareness and a willingness to shift!

Learning this tool and activity shifted my whole world. It shifted the way I view other people and myself. It allowed me to understand the motives behind people's actions and my own habits. It transformed my perspective and allowed me to have more compassion for the world and myself. I sincerely hope it does the same for you :)

Here is the activity I recommend trying in your journal:

1) Organize the human needs in order of importance to you 1-6 (be honest)

2) Organize the top 3 that are most important in your life (think about the big choices in your timeline and what motivated them)

3) Write down the unhealthy ways you've met these 3 needs in the past (without judgment)

4) Write down new healthy ways you can meet these needs moving forward

5) Reflect and integrate <3

Here are the rest of the journal prompts diving deeper into your WHY:

-what does my dream ideal life look like?

-who is around me?

-what am I wearing?

-how do I feel?

-How do I speak to myself and others?

-what do I do in the mornings before I work etc. how do I prioritize the things that feel good to me?

-what is my perspective on challenge and failure?


Thank you for supporting and tuning in this week, peace and blessings :)
