I got caught up on sleep last night with the help of some gravol, I was actually sleeping on the couch before 9, woke and went to bed at 10, my shoulder is very sore today so I think I must have slept on it wrong.
I went to the gym and did my usual hour with resistance of 3, trying to burn more calories faster.
I thought I would touch on the topic of fulfilling needs.
Our needs are a driving force and one of the most famous theories on human needs is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs he suggests that humans have 5 levels of needs which exist in a hiearchy of importants. He divided these needs into two categories.
1. Primary needs, consisting of physiological and safety needs such as water and home etc.
2. Secondary needs which are more individual such as social or ego needs, for example belonging to a group or being recognized for your achievements.
Maslow argues that if none of the needs were fulfilled in the hierarchy, then behavior would be motivated by the most basic/primary needs - the physiological ones, hence these would dominate behavior.
Once a need is met, it no longer dominates, so the next level in the hierarchy motivates the person. This progression continues and the person works their way up the hierarchy as each level is satisfied. Throughout life a person will go up and down levels depending on the changes in their life. For example: a diet that does not provide enough calories or protein may cause hunger which will be the driving need that directs the person's behavior; once satisfied other needs will become important, and this process may happen each time a dieter goes on such a diet.
Have you read about Maslow?
Do you think it makes sense?
