The Question of the Day?

What are your needs and how do you full fill them?

A counselor posed this question to me about a month ago. I was fortune enough to have four sessions with this counselor last month but unfortunately, I do not have the funds to continue. The last time that I was able to speak to her, she posed this question to me and I have been rolling it around in my mind for a month now without an answers. I have good food, well water to drink and shelter to house me. I have a loving husband and four wonderful but demanding children. So what are my needs? I have no interests right now and nothing interests me. So what needs do I have?

Maybe if you list your needs and how you full fill them, maybe I will find mine. Your in put is greatly appreciated.

Warm Wishes for the Holidays,

Good question! All of my basic needs are met (home, food, money, a job ) but what else? When it comes to other things like self-esteem, healthy relationships with family, friends and significant others (if another one walks into my life!), being a responsible adult (my apartment looks like a tornado hit it and I can't find anything, I have overdue bills because I'm so disorganized, I'm behind on reports for work, etc, etc) - I'm not very good at those - maybe because I feel like I don't deserve it (taking care of myself) - I don't know.

peace and love,

money (i'd like to leave it off, but let's be honest, without it we wouldn't have the food shelter stuff)

Good Question hun!


The one big need I have always had in my life is the Need to be Needed.
