4 Steps To Getting Your Need Met

The fulfillment of our human needs is a noble and worthwhile pursuit. Let’s review 4 key steps in getting your needs met. Through the process of self-analysis and reflection, you are able to get in touch with the inner thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that make up who you are and this helps you to identify your needs. 
 Assess: Taking the time to reflect on your life and its current state you can identify those areas in which your needs are not being met. 
 Refine: After an initial period of assessment and listing out needs, it can be useful to go back and narrow down that list. 
 Plan: Once you are aware what your specific needs and desires are and what is preventing you from getting them met, you can begin to create a means to obtain them. 
 Act: Once a plan has been laid out, taking action is the final step needed. A well created plan will include the steps needed to achieve the needs. Embracing yourself for who you are and understanding that you are worthy of the pursuit of those things you need is essential to getting your needs met. Once you know what you need, you need to work on your message so that it is understood and received. This means knowing who your audience is, how to phrase it, and how to check to make sure the message is received. This ensures there is no room for anything to be misunderstood, misconstrued, or taken personally to the point where your needs are dismissed. If you are unsure of your needs then others will not know how to feel about them either. You must be confident that what you’re asking for is reasonable and necessary and deliver your needs in a way that affirms this belief.
