Why do we want what we want? The Beauty in our Needs

What does rest, mean to me, why do I want respect or care in my life? Why is belonging and creativity so important to me? What does these words actually mean to me? The language of needs is here to help us sink in to what we want and feel the energy that is linked with the word we use to describe it. When we use abstract needs as a way of talking about our longings and desires in life, we get closer to our core, to our hearts desire.. to our life project (as Yoram Mosenzon often says). 

Today's episode is number 6 in our series on "Introducing and Exploring Compassionate Communication". In this episode I explain and demonstrate the process of peeling away the layers of our wants and desires, getting to the core of true longings to find and stay with the pure energy of our most precious needs. 

In doing this we can get closer to understanding ourselves, to knowing what it is that we want in life, to having more creativity, flow and agency in getting our own needs met, and for myself this has really empowered me, enabling me to act from a place of knowing myself. 

I will then finish off with an action step for you to try at home, I suggest downloading the feelings and needs list bellow so that you can do this activity with ease and anchor your learning.
