Identifying your Unique Needs

If you succeed in having all your needs met in a manner that is undeviating and constructive, what do you think would happen?

individual needsEveryone has a need which could be basic or more personal. Some of your individual needs stare at you in the face, you don’t need to search deep to identify them as you would probably do with your secondary needs.

Experiences such as admiration, control, approval, recognition, attention, respite and independence are examples of unique needs. Of itself and in itself, these types of needs are neither negative nor positive. It is just there as a need.

It is obvious that you have two kinds of need, but it is difficult to differentiate between the two as a result of your ego. For example, the yearning of your ego for the need of recognition is as important as the need for air, and your ego is ready to go to any length to have this need met.

Those unique needs were those you got from unrealized needs during your formative stage – consequently, this is as good as having internal holes that must be a necessity to be filled. Since it appears your ego cannot do without these needs, you may have unconsciously been inputting substantial energy and time towards realizing them without knowing.

Bear in mind that your ego does not really care how these needs would be attained – this can cause you to either use methods that are good for you, methods, which do not appear righteous for you, or both methods in accomplishing your ego needs.

Here’s what I meant, someone whose ego is yearning for attention may decide to accomplish it constructively by choosing to entertain people to be on the limelight regularly. Alternatively, another person may use the destructive method of drinking to stupor and creating a scene as a result – this is also attention accomplishment.

Do This
Ponder on your unique needs – specifically three of them. Then, outline various ways (at least two) that you have adopted in trying to get those needs met using both constructive and destructive methods.

A Family that Eats Together

Our way of life has grown to be far too occupied. Overly busy and therefore, takeout food is one of our options as well as ready made meals that cause it a whole lot difficult to take pleasure from that good, traditional, home-cooked dinner with our family members. We find ourselves saving the satisfaction for some, particular occasions of the year.

It is obvious that eating together is an important part of being mankind. For reasons unknown, food happens to be the centerpiece of every get-together. It truly is astounding how Aunt Gertrude’s popular pumpkin pie could make you happy – whenever you ponder over it! All of us can’t envision a football match minus the presence of pizza, a 4th of July without the barbecue, or perhaps a warm and friendly card game devoid of appetizers.

There happen to be a variety of scientific studies about this matter. What researchers have found out is the fact that family members that eat meals together, are healthier on an emotional level. Take note “Emotionally “! Well, for some might not anticipate that. However, it’s a fact: a family that eats together, their kids perform better in class, are less miserable and take detrimental conducts in smaller extent.

Additionally, the kids themselves feel more secure – they expect the structure of learning everybody can be together at least once daily. During a family dinner, rapport and open conversation are nurtured and developed. Healthful ideals, etiquette and memories are made while family ties are firmly established.

Even so, the issue about family time, particularly family meals, is indisputable. So being a parent, how can we overcome this? It requires priority, the precedence to create something sacred and immovable. With our varying lifestyles and professions, it is advantageous to create something lasting. And what greater compared to our family time? Dinner together doesn’t need to be lengthy and dramatic – although the outcomes tend to be. Even if you start with just once a week – it is worth your time.

Apologizing And Forgiving Opens Your Heart

Many of us are not very good at apologizing. I know I wasn’t when I was young. If I offended someone I tended to get hurt or offended myself. When there were bad feelings between me and another person, I took the easy way out and avoided her. I don’t know why it was so difficult for me to apologize. Maybe it is because we are not really taught how to as kids. We know we are supposed to, but aren’t really sure how to go about it.

Of course, there is no easier way than to simply say, “I’m sorry.” Human relationships are rarely so simple though. We get caught up in so many emotions and baggage that making an apology seem like an impossible task. It wasn’t until I had children of my own and experienced unconditional love that it became easier for me to apologize, to them, and to others.

Could the fact that we don’t know how to forgive also play a role? Maybe since we are not good at forgiving others, we assume others will not want to forgive us. There is a lot of power in forgiveness. It allows us to let go and move forward. You don’t have to forget to forgive. It’s more like throwing out the old and useless emotions and making room for bigger and better things to come into your life.

If you have problems with making apologies when you know they are needed, why not practice the art of forgiveness on others and yourself? When you know how to forgive, the art of apologizing comes much more naturally.

You could start by making a list of the people you feel have wronged you in some way and forgive them, even if they never apologized. You may be surprised at how much lighter and better you feel once you learn how to forgive and ask for forgiveness from others.
