Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs * To satisfy the upper needs on Maslow’s Hierarchy, we first need to satisfy our physiological needs. This means breathing, having food, water, sex, sleep, pooing, etc. * Once you have the basic necessities, you then can focus on the needs for safety. An example of this would be having the security of body, of employment, family, and health. * After those, you then have the ability to focus on satisfying your needs for love/belonging, like friendship, family, and sexual intimacy. * Once you’ve got those down, you can work on sustaining your self-esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others etc. * And at the top of Maslow’s Hierarchy, you have the self actualization, where you experience creativity, problem solving, acceptance of facts, etc.
