Quarantine anxiety is a real thing… battling it can be tough. In the episode I want to share some insight that’s not only helped me in the past few years..it has REALLY come in handy during all this quarantine craziness.

Socrates said, “Tenet nostrum”. (Latin for, ‘Know thyself.) If you ‘know yourself’ (self awareness) and can recognize why you may be feeling the way you feel right now, it can be a huge advantage.

Every human being us has six basic needs. All of us. As we go thru these, remember two things… Everyone has all six needs. None of them are better or worse than the others… none are good or bad… every human being has every one of them. Everyone has a top 2-3 that drive them more than the others.

You’re gonna want to take notes. Save this episode. Share it. Email it to your spouse or coworker.

Here they are. (My personal ‘top three’ are listed at the very bottom.)

Certainty Uncertainty Significance Love/Connection Growth Contribution

Why am I spending time on this? Because if you can recognize the 2 -3 needs that drive you the most, you’ll be able to more clearly see the things that fulfill you… AND the things that wreak havoc on your peace of mind. (That could be really handy right about now..)

By the way, after going thru these I’ve learned that MY primary driving needs are Growth and Contribution (followed by connection).

Go figure. :)
