Exercise 1.0: Fulfillment

All humans have [similar] emotional needs. Needs they need to be fulfilled. When these are met we feel __(insert emotion)__. And when they're not satisfied, we feel __(insert emotion)__.

Some human needs (no particular order):

  1. to feel accepted & loved by God
  2. to feel love unconditionally by at least a few
  3. to get recognition for accomplishments
  4. to be touched or hugged [affectionately]
  5. to be encouraged [to do your best]
  6. to be listened to, understood, AND heard
  7. to feel supported [esp. when weak, hurt, vulnerable]
  8. to be praised/rewarded for efforts to do right
  9. to be treated with respect
  10. to be forgiven [when wrong]
  11. to trust/be trusted
  12. to feel accepted [even with faults or shortcomings]
  13. to have "talent" that builds self-esteem
  14. to be treated fairly and given opportunity [to succeed]
  15. to feel attractive

Too often, we rely on others or life's circumstances to get these needs met and we are disappointed. Stop denying your own capabilities. Get your needs met by doing something constructive to help yourself take charge of the satisfaction of your own needs.
