Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

Abraham Maslow proposed the hierarchy of needs theory which describes the progression of human needs from basic physiological needs to more advanced needs of self-actualization. The hierarchy consists of physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. Maslow believed that human motivation is based on fulfilling basic needs and that lower level needs must be satisfied before progressing to meet higher level needs, with self-actualization being the ultimate goal of human development.

Eight ways to self-actualize
 Experience things fully, vividly, selflessly. Throw
yourself into the experience; concentrate on it fully;
let it totally absorb you.
 Life is an ongoing process of choosing between safety
(out of fear ) and risk (for the sake of growth: make
the growth choice a dozen times a day.
 Let the self emerge. Try to shut out external clues as
to what you should think, feel, say and let your
experience enable you to say what you truly feel.
Eight ways to self-actualize....
 When in doubt, be honest. If you look into yourself
and are honest, you will also take responsibility;
taking responsibility is self-actualizing.
 Listen to your own tastes. Be prepared to be
unpopular.
 Use your intelligence. Work to do well the things
you want to do, whether that means finger exercises
at a keyboard, memorizing every bone, muscle and
hormone in the human body, or learning to finish
wood so it looks and feels like silk.
Eight ways to self-actualize....
 Make peak experiencing more likely: get rid of
illusions and false notions; learn what you are
good at and what your potentialities are not.
 Find out who you are, what you like and don’t
like, what is good and what is bad for you,
where you are going, what your mission is.
Opening yourself up in this way means
identifying defenses - and then finding the
courage to give them up.
