Lightbulb 5 Basic Human Needs & AW

Hello:

I read something so significant recently that I have thought about it every day. Someone listed 5 basic human needs:

Connection
Freedom
Significance
Survival
Enjoyment

...and they pointed out that everyone has different levels and needs and priorities among these -- yet we all need these 5 things.

I pondered the people and activities that enhanced my needs and added to my "levels" - and then I realized how AW drained and reduced my levels, all 5 levels!. I then connected the dots as to why I have been feeling better about life since I moved into my own apartment 40 days ago.

In making decisions, which a super Codie like me can struggle with, I have been using this 5-pronged measuring stick to decide if saying yes to something will boost the satisfaction of one or more of my needs!

One thing that is beyond sweet, is FREEDOM. Freedom to think and act independently. It's priceless!

Blessings...

Just sharing some ESH
