Need: What Is It?
A need is something we require for our well-being, like food,
sunlight, contact with other humans; our needs should be non-
negotiable, things we cannot do without. But sometimes we get so
wrapped up in life, in surviving, in getting ahead, in taking care
of others, we lose sight of these basic requirements. Don't let that
happen! Healthy self-care begins with checking to see if YOU are
meeting YOUR basic needs and then working to fulfill them.
You can copy and paste this into your text editor, and answer the
questions in that mode.
You should take this test when you are vaguely dissatisfied,
depressed or tense - when you can't remember the last time you got a
good night's sleep, relaxed or ate a healthy meal. These mindsets
will yield the most accurate answers.
What To Do - Checklist:
This list will help you create a picture of your lifestyle.
•Are you satisfied with where you presently are in life?
•Do you usually get six to eight hours of sleep?
