Physiological

Love/belonging
Esteem
Self-actualisation
Physiological Needs:
Physiological needs are on the first level, they include food, water, sleep/rest. If not satisfied, an individual may feel sickness, irritation, pain, and discomfort. By satisfising the physiological needs first, an individual may then be willing to think about meeting other needs on the next level.
Safety Needs:
Relate to the physical and emotional safety. Often met through security of a home and family or freedom from fear, anxiety, or chaos, and are provided by law and order in community.
Social Needs:
Once an individual feels safe, they will be willing to participate in social groups and interact with others, meeting their social needs. Social needs relate to the giving and receiving of an action and feeling acceptance from others.
Esteem Needs:
Focus on two areas: the first is self-esteem, which results from self-respect, confidence, and achievement. The other relates to gaining esteem and respect from others. This may be seen as an individual’s desire for status, prestige, recognition, and appreciation. This satisfaction results in feeling of being useful and necessary in the world.
Self-Actualisation:
Refers to an individual’s desire for self-fulfilment-to reach full potential and be the best she/he can possibly be. At this stage individuals have an ability to communicate effectively, solve problems, have self-discipline and independence, accept themselves and others, can be creative, and have the ability to genuinely demonstrate compassion and affection.
what is a goal
Goals are What people aim for in life. They are things that people want to achieve in order to satisfy their needs and wants.
- Goals help you to succeed in life as they provide the incentive to perform well and help to build your self-esteem.
- Goals can be short term (small manageable goals, can be achieved each day), intermediate (can take several weeks to complete) or long term (reflect those things that are most important and can take years to achieve).
