Most of us were never taught how to actually assess what we’re feeling, what we’re experiencing, what we’re struggling to process or how to figure out how to support ourselves.
Many of us were never taught the very basics of self awareness that would allow us to identify what we need at any given time, let alone how to actually MEET those needs in real reality.
Many of us have no idea how to communicate to others when we need support, or we feel like we’re not allowed to ask for support when we have a need we don’t know how to meet on our own.
Many of us have learned to override our needs, to pretend we aren’t feeling what we are or to just ‘push through’ in life so as not to interrupt what’s going on around us or to cause anyone any inconvenience.
Many of us have learned that our needs and wants are not ok, are shameful or that they are ‘bad’ on some level, and thus that we must deny them.
Which means many of us are now living lives where we have NO idea how to healthfully meet our own needs.
Which is a HUGE part of what the self love path is all about - learning how to be on our own side so that we can figure out what we need, and so that we can get those needs met in healthy and supportive ways.
So today, let’s explore this. Let’s talk about what needs we may have, what specifically to look for when we are looking to understand what we may need, how to identify what we’re feeling and how we can healthfully start to communicate those needs to others if that’s appropriate.
Let’s explore what needs humans have in general, so we can get an idea of what to even LOOK for when we’re looking for what we need, and then we can talk about how to get those needs met.
