Your Human Needs!

The human creature is Physical and Spiritual, and therefore our needs are many.

Yet we must have them to grow into maturity and find peace with the planet, ourself, life and others.

To meet our needs we must know what they are, and we need to understand why it is a need and what good it will do us by meeting that need. When you meet your needs you give yourself what you need.

What you need may not be what you want at a certain time, but the need is the best thing for you and if you have problems with this then this must be addressed within yourself.

An example of not meeting our needs is a person who wants to eat cheap, oily takeaway foods every day or most of the time. This food is the type of food that was designed to be taken every so many weeks for something different to eat, or to eat when one cannot cook such as when there is an emergency in the home, or when you are away from home for a few ours and are hungry and there is no way to cook up a meal.

Cheap takeaway food is bad for our health, this is a well known fact, so eating it on a regular basis is not good for us, and if we do this then we are ‘not meeting our physical needs’.

If we don’t meet our needs then we cannot function in our full capacity as a human being. We can feel depressed, unhappy, disappointed in our looks, life, be angry and bitter at others. Meeting our needs is a good way to ensure that we are functioning in a good healthy natural way.

Your physical needs are good healthy food, a decent sleep each day, fresh air, shelter from cold, warmth.

A person should listen to their own body and become aware of what it is that their body needs.

Your spiritual needs are love, companionship that you can trust and have faith in, honesty, courage, confidence etc.

You may have noticed that people who are cowards are ‘out of mental balance’ and do irrational and immature or even violent deeds. When humans are ‘out of balance’ they react, act, respond, to life in an immature manner.

The happy person knows that he or she needs a good sleep and makes sure that they get this so that they can function well. This person knows that leisure is important, rest, and time alone to ponder life, to pray, or just to walk or rest in nature for a while to recharge their energy.

The goal is to know what we need and to make sure that we get what we need most of the time.

The reason is because meeting your needs in in your favour.
Meeting your needs means that you operate mentally and physically as you should do because you have looked after yourself.

A need that many don’t realize is your need to be in a safe, secure, healthy, environment.

If we are in a place where we are able to speak without fear, act without fear, and be ourself naturally then we are in an environment that is healthy and meets our needs, while also doing the same for our own children should we have any.

If you are a young adult a goal would be to desire a safe, secure, environment in the future for your future children. Before we have children we should be responsible for them by planning a home that will meet their needs as well as our own.

It is important that where you live, where you work, with your friends, with your family, and the like, you should be able to express your feelings freely, so for our future we should choose people carefully who will be honest, truthful, understanding and a good listener. Having people who we can trust that we can unload our feelings on to is a need. This helps us know that we are worthy are being understood that someone cares, that we can safely ‘let go’ of the darkness and negatives that are from our past and our present life.

When our needs are met stress is at a minimum. Imagine waking up in a warm, safe, happy environment, in the arms of the person who you love the most, with other people who you completely trust, have faith in and know that they will die for you just as you would for them. Meeting our needs is wisdom.

Good positive loving compassionate friendships brings forth feelings of belonging, of faith in others, good companionship, and social contentment. If we are socially content then we don’t fear the world and those around us, because we know that we are there for them and they are here for us. How wonderful. We know that if people are there for us and use for them that we all approve of each other and enjoy being in each others lives.

Making your own healthy choices without feelings of guilt is meeting your needs, because we know what we like, what we need, what we should be, and if not allowed these things it affects us physically and spiritually, in other words we fail ourselves, others and those we love the most.

Making choices that are popular, but are not healthy, and poison our mind and body are examples of not meeting our needs.

All the best from
