Levels of Needs
Human Needs are the Motivation behind our Actions:
We are driven to fulfill them.
They define us humans as a species.
They are shaped by our formative experiences.
Our three most foundational human needs are:
Appetitive
hunger, rest, physical needs
Attachment
touch, warmth, security
Affective
receiving and expressing emotions
The human needs that build on these foundations are:
Acknowledgement
Activation
simulation, novelty seeking
mirroring, recognition
belongingness, connection
The final human needs that we need to attend to are:
Actualizing
achievement, realizing potential
Attunement
1) to other humans
2) to the natural world
Awareness
life purpose, meaning
Our human needs follow a hierarchy.
For example: first we got to take care of our physical needs,
BEFORE we can attend to our needs of life purpose.
