Today's first episode for 2024 is a little different. I recently launched my White Paper – The Social Factor – The Science Behind the Future of Effective People Leadership and today I present it to you in audio format, as some people prefer to listen than to read. The White paper introduces you, the listener, to the concept of Social Leadership. It opens with the big picture and the challenges faced by todays leaders, examples being the gap between what leaders believe that employees want and what they really want and need. We explore the myriad demands of today's leader and the potential cost, mentally and emotionally.  We cover the people leadership journey - 'from Crisis to Conviction' and why the focus needs to be on developing leaders both formally and informally. The Changing Face of Leadership tracks leadership Development over the ages and what 21st Century leadership looks like today in the Social Age. The White Paper then introduces you to the concept of Social Leadership and the social cognitive neuroscience underpinning this approach.  The SOCIAL Model of Core Needs is presented in terms of elements, scope, detail and a detailed description of each element; how the absence of these needs can create a 'threat' response, and ways we can reduce this to create 'reward' responses in our people (the concept of threat and reward and also explained).   We each have a unique 'point in time' hierarchy of needs and this is explained in the paper, together with applications of the model and a case study of how it is being used by a global engineering consultancy.  Finally we look at balancing the focus on people and performance and the consequences of focusing too much or too little on one or the other. If you would like a copy of the white paper, please head over to https://brain-smart.com/social/ and if you would like to complete the Hierarchy of Needs self-assessment here is the link https://brain-smart.com/hierarchy-register/ Finally - we'd love to hear your feedback so please engage with in the Social Leadership Conversation on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/beingbrainsmart/  Clare #socialleadership #podcast #rawthenticleadership #thefutureissocial #leadershipdevelopment   

BT and Sal both agree, if the Mets continue to lose this season, major changes need to take place to the core players on the roster.

I want ot share an episode with you today that I covered about a year ago.  It really is a fundamental and core concept you MUST learn and master if you want to design your BEST LIFE...   Have you ever wondered why we do the things we do?  Of course our thoughts and emotions shape our behaviors and results in life, but what truly influences our conscious and unconscious thoughts on a day to day basis?   I've put a lot of thought into this and we have discussed many different influencing factors that contribute to our lives, and we have even talked about ways to influence and change our behaviors and results.  But today I'd like to talk to you about identifying what is truly affecting your life on a deeper level.   6 Core Human Needs by Tony Robbins Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who studied and documented human needs and behavior.  He developed a well know theory of basic human behavior called Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.  The most basic of needs (which influence our behavior) are food, shelter, safety, etc.  Then there are higher levels of needs like love, self-esteem, and personal growth in order to truly achieve “self actualization” and happiness in life.  These are the main influencing factors in our behavior; as a result, they are the influencing factors in the results we achieve in life.   Tony Robbins further developed this concept into what he calls the 6 core human needs.  He has become well know for this training because it has literally impacted thousands of people (throughout the world) during his career. He believes that all humans have the same 6 core needs and that if they are fulfilling these 6 needs they will experience the most happiness.  If not, they will feel dissatisfied with their life and also feel unfulfilled at times.  He added that most of us will prioritize a couple of these needs and (as a result) those needs will drive most of our conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions.    So you can see that if these needs are driving our behaviors and actions, then they will ultimately determine our results, our happiness, and even our levels of fulfillment.    Many people choose to meet their 6 core needs in a positive way, but it is also possible (and common) that people can meet these needs in a negative (destructive) way that leads them to problems and struggles in their lives.  Meeting our needs in a negative way never brings long term happiness and ultimately can cause serious pain, frustration, and even depression.    Are you aware of the Core Needs you prioritize in your life? Are they being met in a positive or a negative way?   I'd like to outline the 6 core needs so that you might become more aware of which ones you are prioritizing and which ones you need to continue to focus on fulfilling at a higher level.  Also, I feel it's important to truly understand if you are currently filling your needs in a positive or negative way.  This will help you to understand what drives your thoughts, behaviors and actions that are creating your life.   So, let's start to go through these needs and feel free to take some notes and really dig into what you feel are your Main Influencing Factors in your Success or Lack of Success in your life right now.   No it's interesting to note that the first four needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our Personality, and the last two needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our spirit.  True fulfillment comes from the last two needs, so really pay attention to those as we go through them.   Here are the 6 core needs:   Needs of the Personality 1-Certainty- the need for safety, stability, security, comfort, order, predictability, control, and consistency…Avoid Pain…   Obviously, we do our best to avoid pain in our lives by creating certainty.  However, a problem can arise for many of us when we create unrealistic expectations of what it take for certainty.  This can cause stress because we never seem to meet our needs for certainty.   This is when you need to start discovering what limiting beliefs and programming that you carry inside that is affecting your expectations and needs.   On the other hand, if we have too much Certainty we get bored, so this is why we need the second need.   2-Variety (uncertainty)- the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change, and novelty.   My partner and mentor Robert Stuberg would say that your true success as an Entrepreneur (and happiness in life) in in direct proportion to the amount of Uncertainty that you can handle in your life. I believe this is because we already know that success, growth and “uncertainty” lies outside your comfort zone.     It is also interesting to note that these first two core needs work as a paradox and continually try to balance each other.  Certainty vs Uncertainty.  Which leads us to the 3rd Core Human Need.   3-Significance- the need to have meaning, special, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance and worthy of love…we want to feel special.   I read a very impactful quote from Adam Sincinski that I think explains the need for significance really well…   "You can feel more significant by achieving something, by building something, by learning something or even by tearing other people down. They are all legitimate ways to fulfill the need for significance. The need for significance can help you achieve more, do more, and become the person you desire to be. All professional athletes would probably admit that the need for significance is a big part of their careers. In fact, it's probably one of the most important influential factors that go into every decision they make. On the other hand, the need for significance can be used for evil purposes. For instance, it can be used to hurt people or gain an unfair advantage. Take for example a bully. A bully bullies other people to feel important, significant, and worthy. Therefore the need for significance can actually lead to violence." - An In-Depth Exploration Of The Six Human Needs Shaping Your Life, Adam Sicinski   Tony Robbins talks about how VIOLENCE can also fulfill the need people have for significance in a destructive way.  Understanding the need for significance is very important so that we can better understand how to deal with this need in a positive and productive way in society and in our personal lives.   4-Love & Connection- the need for communication, approval and attachment, connection with, loved and intimate with another person.   Ultimately we are all searching for connection.  Love is one of the most powerful emotions and can bring with it both “true happiness” as well as our “deepest fear” due to rejection, loneliness and regret.  The key is to understand that love can be influenced by our beliefs in a big way.  Low self-worth, past relationship failures and good or bad business experiences can all affect our ways of fulfilling this need for love and connection.   A great example of this is why many of us settle for “Connection” rather than “Deep Commitment and Relationships” with others.  We dont want to get hurt in a relationship but we still need to fill our need for Love and Connection.  The problem with his is that we never truly fill this need long term by only satisfying it at a surface level.  The same can be said in business if we are untrusting or unwilling to risk moving forward with our goals due to past failures.   Needs of the Spirit 5-Growth- the need for constant emotional, intellectual and spiritual development.   You've heard the saying, “if you are not growing, you are dying”.  This comes from the fact that we all have a need to Grow.  The best way to do this is through personal development.  Without personal growth, you can feel “stuck in life”.     The negative side of Growth is that many of us apply filters of perfectionism so we don't recognize that we are growing because we are either 1)comparing ourselves to everyone else or 2) we set the bar so high we will never meet this need.  The KEY is to always play the game of life against the past version of yourself and not others. And, to always remember that you need to look forward and not back when you are growing.   6-Contribution- the need to give beyond ourselves, give, care, protect and serve others.   Another great saying is, “The Secret to Living is Giving”.  The meet will ultimately only get filled when you feel you are impacting and contributing to those around you:  in community, in your family, in your relationships, in your business.     I really like what my partner Robert Stuberg says when he talks about his life mission and use of Unique Talents.  The key to life is identifying your Unique Talent (excellent and passion about) and applying it in the service to others.  This is an Amazing way to Create Success while living a Happy and Fulfilled live, but it also satisfies this need at an extremely high level.   So...How are you meeting your 6 Core Human Needs?   We strive daily to meet these needs, but remember that our needs can ultimately be met in both constructive and destructive ways…positive and negative ways that will influence and affect our lives.   I believe that most all stress, anxiety, depression, and dysfunctional behavior comes from not filling these needs or filing these needs in a negative way.  The key is to understand yourself and your limiting beliefs that are affecting these core needs.  Find out how your inner beliefs are creating the filter you use to fill these needs on a daily basis.  In other words, how are your daily routines being influenced in a positive or negative way because of the programming you've adopted throughout your life.   So, I Encourage You to Ask Yourself these Key Questions: -What are my Top Core Needs? -How am I filling those needs now?  (positive or negative) -What are the beliefs that are driving my needs? -Are these beliefs serving me and my life's mission? -How are these needs impacting my relationships, business and communication?  -How can I redefine the parameters needed to meet these needs.   Let me give you an example of how Tony Robbins talks about using these 6 core human needs to redefine or increase the quality of your relationships…   Tony Robins says “If you're in a relationship with somebody and you meet one of their needs, you're going to have an acquaintance. If you meet two of their needs, you're going to have a friend. If you meet three of their needs, you're going to have a deep friendship or love. If you meet four of their needs, it's going to be a deep love. If you meet five or six of their needs, you're going to have a love slave. … They ain't going anywhere. But it's got to be you meeting their needs, not the other way around.” - Tony Robbins On How To Master Relationships, J.D. Meier   You get the point.  Ultimately, you can seriously impact the quality of “your life” and "others lives" if you will be INTENTIONAL with how you meet the 6 Core Human Needs of Yourself and Others.   I know that if you will take the time to “unpack” what is driving your life, then you will be far more effective in creating change, and you will completely transform your life and business.  But its gonna take a little work.  You must be willing to sit down and go through the motions to understand, identify, redefine and execute on your Core Needs in your life.  If you do this…I promise you will see massive changes in your life.   I appreciate you listening today.  I hope you've found some value in this information.  If you have, I encourage you to share this podcast episode with at least one person in your life.  Have an amazing day.   George Wright III

Therefore the need for significance can actually lead to violence." - An In-Depth Exploration Of The Six Human Needs Shaping Your Life, Adam Sicinski   Tony Robbins talks about how VIOLENCE can also fulfill the need people have for significance in a destructive way.  Understanding the need for significance is very important so that we can better understand how to deal with this need in a positive and productive way in society and in our personal lives.   4-Love & Connection- the need for communication, approval and attachment, connection with, loved and intimate with another person.   Ultimately we are all searching for connection.  Love is one of the most powerful emotions and can bring with it both “true happiness” as well as our “deepest fear” due to rejection, loneliness and regret.  The key is to understand that love can be influenced by our beliefs in a big way.  Low self-worth, past relationship failures and good or bad business experiences can all affect our ways of fulfilling this need for love and connection.   A great example of this is why many of us settle for “Connection” rather than “Deep Commitment and Relationships” with others.  We dont want to get hurt in a relationship but we still need to fill our need for Love and Connection.  The problem with his is that we never truly fill this need long term by only satisfying it at a surface level.  The same can be said in business if we are untrusting or unwilling to risk moving forward with our goals due to past failures.   Needs of the Spirit 5-Growth- the need for constant emotional, intellectual and spiritual development.   You've heard the saying, “if you are not growing, you are dying”.  This comes from the fact that we all have a need to Grow.  The best way to do this is through personal development.  Without personal growth, you can feel “stuck in life”.     The negative side of Growth is that many of us apply filters of perfectionism so we don't recognize that we are growing because we are either 1)comparing ourselves to everyone else or 2) we set the bar so high we will never meet this need.  The KEY is to always play the game of life against the past version of yourself and not others. And, to always remember that you need to look forward and not back when you are growing.   6-Contribution- the need to give beyond ourselves, give, care, protect and serve others.   Another great saying is, “The Secret to Living is Giving”.  The meet will ultimately only get filled when you feel you are impacting and contributing to those around you:  in community, in your family, in your relationships, in your business.     I really like what my partner Robert Stuberg says when he talks about his life mission and use of Unique Talents.  The key to life is identifying your Unique Talent (excellent and passion about) and applying it in the service to others.  This is an Amazing way to Create Success while living a Happy and Fulfilled live, but it also satisfies this need at an extremely high level.   So...How are you meeting your 6 Core Human Needs?   We strive daily to meet these needs, but remember that our needs can ultimately be met in both constructive and destructive ways…positive and negative ways that will influence and affect our lives.   I believe that most all stress, anxiety, depression, and dysfunctional behavior comes from not filling these needs or filing these needs in a negative way.  The key is to understand yourself and your limiting beliefs that are affecting these core needs.  Find out how your inner beliefs are creating the filter you use to fill these needs on a daily basis.  In other words, how are your daily routines being influenced in a positive or negative way because of the programming you've adopted throughout your life.   So, I Encourage You to Ask Yourself these Key Questions: -What are my Top Core Needs? -How am I filling those needs now?  (positive or negative) -What are the beliefs that are driving my needs? -Are these beliefs serving me and my life's mission? -How are these needs impacting my relationships, business and communication?  -How can I redefine the parameters needed to meet these needs.   Let me give you an example of how Tony Robbins talks about using these 6 core human needs to redefine or increase the quality of your relationships…   Tony Robins says “If you're in a relationship with somebody and you meet one of their needs, you're going to have an acquaintance. If you meet two of their needs, you're going to have a friend. If you meet three of their needs, you're going to have a deep friendship or love. If you meet four of their needs, it's going to be a deep love. If you meet five or six of their needs, you're going to have a love slave. … They ain't going anywhere. But it's got to be you meeting their needs, not the other way around.” - Tony Robbins On How To Master Relationships, J.D. Meier   You get the point.  Ultimately, you can seriously impact the quality of “your life” and "others lives" if you will be INTENTIONAL with how you meet the 6 Core Human Needs of Yourself and Others.   I know that if you will take the time to “unpack” what is driving your life, then you will be far more effective in creating change, and you will completely transform your life and business.  But its gonna take a little work.  You must be willing to sit down and go through the motions to understand, identify, redefine and execute on your Core Needs in your life.  If you do this…I promise you will see massive changes in your life.   I appreciate you listening today.  I hope you've found some value in this information.  If you have, I encourage you to share this podcast episode with at least one person in your life.  Have an amazing day.   George Wright III

Why do we do what we do? ...The 6 Core Human Needs from Tony Robbins   Have you ever wondered why we do the things we do?  Of course our thoughts and emotions shape our behaviors and results in life, but what truly influences our conscious and unconscious thoughts on a day to day basis?   I've put a lot of thought into this and we have discussed many different influencing factors that contribute to our lives, and we have even talked about ways to influence and change our behaviors and results.  But today I'd like to talk to you about identifying what is truly affecting your life on a deeper level. 6 Core Human Needs by Tony Robbins Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who studied and documented human needs and behavior.  He developed a well know theory of basic human behavior called Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.  The most basic of needs (which influence our behavior) are food, shelter, safety, etc.  Then there are higher levels of needs like love, self-esteem, and personal growth in order to truly achieve “self actualization” and happiness in life.  These are the main influencing factors in our behavior; as a result, they are the influencing factors in the results we achieve in life.   Tony Robbins further developed this concept into what he calls the 6 core human needs.  He has become well know for this training because it has literally impacted thousands of people (throughout the world) during his career. He believes that all humans have the same 6 core needs and that if they are fulfilling these 6 needs they will experience the most happiness.  If not, they will feel dissatisfied with their life and also feel unfulfilled at times.  He added that most of us will prioritize a couple of these needs and (as a result) those needs will drive most of our conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions.    So you can see that if these needs are driving our behaviors and actions, then they will ultimately determine our results, our happiness, and even our levels of fulfillment.    Many people choose to meet their 6 core needs in a positive way, but it is also possible (and common) that people can meet these needs in a negative (destructive) way that leads them to problems and struggles in their lives.  Meeting our needs in a negative way never brings long term happiness and ultimately can cause serious pain, frustration, and even depression.    Are you aware of the Core Needs you prioritize in your life? Are they being met in a positive or a negative way?   I'd like to outline the 6 core needs so that you might become more aware of which ones you are prioritizing and which ones you need to continue to focus on fulfilling at a higher level.  Also, I feel it's important to truly understand if you are currently filling your needs in a positive or negative way.  This will help you to understand what drives your thoughts, behaviors and actions that are creating your life.   So, let's start to go through these needs and feel free to take some notes and really dig into what you feel are your Main Influencing Factors in your Success or Lack of Success in your life right now.   No it's interesting to note that the first four needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our Personality, and the last two needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our spirit.  True fulfillment comes from the last two needs, so really pay attention to those as we go through them.   Here are the 6 core needs:   Needs of the Personality 1-Certainty- the need for safety, stability, security, comfort, order, predictability, control, and consistency…Avoid Pain…   Obviously, we do our best to avoid pain in our lives by creating certainty.  However, a problem can arise for many of us when we create unrealistic expectations of what it take for certainty.  This can cause stress because we never seem to meet our needs for certainty.   This is when you need to start discovering what limiting beliefs and programming that you carry inside that is affecting your expectations and needs.   On the other hand, if we have too much Certainty we get bored, so this is why we need the second need.   2-Variety (uncertainty)- the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change, and novelty.   My partner and mentor Robert Stuberg would say that your true success as an Entrepreneur (and happiness in life) in in direct proportion to the amount of Uncertainty that you can handle in your life. I believe this is because we already know that success, growth and “uncertainty” lies outside your comfort zone.     It is also interesting to note that these first two core needs work as a paradox and continually try to balance each other.  Certainty vs Uncertainty.  Which leads us to the 3rd Core Human Need.   3-Significance- the need to have meaning, special, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance and worthy of love…we want to feel special.   I read a very impactful quote from Adam Sincinski that I think explains the need for significance really well…   "You can feel more significant by achieving something, by building something, by learning something or even by tearing other people down. They are all legitimate ways to fulfill the need for significance. The need for significance can help you achieve more, do more, and become the person you desire to be. All professional athletes would probably admit that the need for significance is a big part of their careers. In fact, it's probably one of the most important influential factors that go into every decision they make. On the other hand, the need for significance can be used for evil purposes. For instance, it can be used to hurt people or gain an unfair advantage. Take for example a bully. A bully bullies other people to feel important, significant, and worthy. Therefore the need for significance can actually lead to violence." - An In-Depth Exploration Of The Six Human Needs Shaping Your Life, Adam Sicinski   Tony Robbins talks about how VIOLENCE can also fulfill the need people have for significance in a destructive way.  Understanding the need for significance is very important so that we can better understand how to deal with this need in a positive and productive way in society and in our personal lives.   4-Love & Connection- the need for communication, approval and attachment, connection with, loved and intimate with another person.   Ultimately we are all searching for connection.  Love is one of the most powerful emotions and can bring with it both “true happiness” as well as our “deepest fear” due to rejection, loneliness and regret.  The key is to understand that love can be influenced by our beliefs in a big way.  Low self-worth, past relationship failures and good or bad business experiences can all affect our ways of fulfilling this need for love and connection.   A great example of this is why many of us settle for “Connection” rather than “Deep Commitment and Relationships” with others.  We dont want to get hurt in a relationship but we still need to fill our need for Love and Connection.  The problem with his is that we never truly fill this need long term by only satisfying it at a surface level.  The same can be said in business if we are untrusting or unwilling to risk moving forward with our goals due to past failures.   Needs of the Spirit 5-Growth- the need for constant emotional, intellectual and spiritual development.   You've hard the saying, “if you are not growing, you are dying”.  This comes from the fact that we all have a need to Grow.  The best way to do this is through personal development.  Without personal growth, you can feel “stuck in life”.     The negative side of Growth is that many of us apply filters of perfectionism so we don't recognize that we are growing because we are either 1)comparing ourselves to everyone else or 2) we set the bar so high we will never meet this need.  The KEY is to always play the game of life against the past version of yourself and not others.

Dr. Kathy continues teaching on the five core needs as parents and those caring for kids are entering into a challenging time in the school year. The changing of seasons in the fall often marks a change in attitude and a struggle with motivation. Dr. Kathy gives important insights to how we can speak to the core needs of kids and thus encourage them as they build resiliency during challenging times.

Today, Dr. Kathy continues our series on the five core needs. She outlines how they're all linked and traced, starting from security, who can I trust. She continues building a reality that these needs are first met in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and that as we grow these core needs flourish in the care of relationships that understand, foster, and celebrate the needs. Today she specifically highlights our core need to understand our purpose, essentially answering the question, 'why am i alive?'

Core needs are important! Even more, our relationship and fellowship with God is VITALLY important.

In this episode, Dr. Kathy delves into the third of the five core needs, which is belonging. Belonging is described as occupying a central position in the pyramid of core needs. Dr. Kathy emphasizes that belonging is fostered by both security and identity. She points out that when individuals, whether children or adults struggle with belonging, it is crucial to consider the state of their security and identity. If these aspects are not healthy, individuals are likely to face difficulties in finding a sense of belonging. The question of belonging is framed as "who wants me" rather than "who needs me." The episode notes that some individuals may attempt to fulfill their need for being wanted by being needed, but this approach can be problematic as it may lead to constantly seeking validation and assuming positions of power. Furthermore, the episode highlights that belonging stems from one's character, emphasizing the interconnectedness of security, identity, and character.

In this episode of Dr. Kathy Says, Dr. Kathy introduces the concept of the core needs and shares her frustration with a secular self-esteem curriculum that lacked the Gospel. She encourages listeners to listen to the previous episode in her short series on the core needs and expresses gratitude for those who have shared the podcast with others. 

This episode delves into the significance of embracing and understanding feelings of inadequacy. A fundamental aspect of being human is that virtually all of us experience moments of inadequacy, whether we recognize them or not. You will be encouraged to identify and explore your feelings of inadequacy and learn how to connect them with your underlying needs. By asking yourself what thoughts, actions, and qualities are necessary to address feelings of inadequacy, you can tap into your inner wisdom and resilience, ultimately allowing you to access what is needed. Allowing such feelings to exist, even for a while, helps cultivate dignity, humility, and the ability to see our commonality. Connecting challenging emotions with your core needs bridges psychology and spiritual or religious values. Therefore, with compassion and heartfelt wisdom, encourage yourself to be completely transparent and increasingly tolerant when feelings of inadequacy arise. • The Introspective Guides: download your copy here. • Watch the video of this episode: on our YouTube channel. • Read the transcription & listen to this episode: at Awareness That Heals.

Dr. Kathy opened the five core needs to listeners this week. These needs must be met for individuals to be healthy and have healthy relationships. These needs are security, identity, belonging, purpose, and competence. Dr. Kathy emphasizes the importance of understanding that God ultimately meets these needs, and we partner with Him to meet our own needs and the needs of others. She also addresses the busyness of the fall season and how to ensure that these needs are met during this time. The focus of this specific episode is on the need for security and its significance in shaping the other core needs.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the importance of addressing our core needs and how they impact our sense of security and ability to navigate through hard times. By understanding and addressing these needs, we can find confidence and security in Christ. Pour yourself a coffee or tea, sit back, and listen to Dr. Kathy's practical insights on this topic.

Today Heather chats with Travis Stewart. Travis revisits the "core desires of the heart" that we discussed in a previous episode before digging into today's topic: Fantasy. Travis explains how we put baggage with fantasy, but how imagination is a God given gift and how we may be able to use it to help understand ourselves better. In 2009, an Australian University, they studied the "thin ideal" and how it affects the women who see these images. Travis explains what this study found when the women were asked to compare themselves to these images and asked to fantasize that they are the women in the images. Comparison led to worse body image, but those who fantasized had a different and surprising outcome. Travis explains how it's not that we just want a "better body" but that we want what getting that "better body" will give me... how will it make me feel. Travis continued to explain how using an ideal image exercise can help us find what we're really longing for underneath our body image issues. Fantasy can teach us a lot about our unmet needs, our strategies, and our longings, and this can lead us to Jesus. We can ask what we are running from, and what we are running towards and get curious about both of these things. They also talk about "taking thoughts captive" and what that really means to us as Christians. He challenges us to dig into our stories and ask ourselves questions. Heather asks how we can feel safe while being curious, and Travis gives a great response. Travis shares the "Litany of Humility" and how it has helped him to pray it every day. Travis gave a parting assignment to you. Here's the task: Travis gave a parting assignment to you. Here's the task: What does your ideal body look like? Why are you focused on some features but not others? What's the meaning behind the size or features of your perfect body? Who would notice you? What would the perfect day be like? What does that teach you about yourself and your wounds and longings? Don't have a judgmental stance - just be curious!

Have you ever wondered why we do the things we do?  Of course our thoughts and emotions shape our behaviors and results in life, but what truly influences our conscious and unconscious thoughts on a day to day basis?   I've put a lot of thought into this and we have discussed many different influencing factors that contribute to our lives, and we have even talked about ways to influence and change our behaviors and results.  But today I'd like to talk to you about identifying what is truly affecting your life on a deeper level.   6 Core Human Needs by Tony Robbins Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who studied and documented human needs and behavior.  He developed a well know theory of basic human behavior called Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.  The most basic of needs (which influence our behavior) are food, shelter, safety, etc.  Then there are higher levels of needs like love, self-esteem, and personal growth in order to truly achieve “self actualization” and happiness in life.  These are the main influencing factors in our behavior; as a result, they are the influencing factors in the results we achieve in life.   Tony Robbins further developed this concept into what he calls the 6 core human needs.  He has become well know for this training because it has literally impacted thousands of people (throughout the world) during his career. He believes that all humans have the same 6 core needs and that if they are fulfilling these 6 needs they will experience the most happiness.  If not, they will feel dissatisfied with their life and also feel unfulfilled at times.  He added that most of us will prioritize a couple of these needs and (as a result) those needs will drive most of our conscious and unconscious thoughts and actions.    So you can see that if these needs are driving our behaviors and actions, then they will ultimately determine our results, our happiness, and even our levels of fulfillment.    Many people choose to meet their 6 core needs in a positive way, but it is also possible (and common) that people can meet these needs in a negative (destructive) way that leads them to problems and struggles in their lives.  Meeting our needs in a negative way never brings long term happiness and ultimately can cause serious pain, frustration, and even depression.    Are you aware of the Core Needs you prioritize in your life? Are they being met in a positive or a negative way?   I'd like to outline the 6 core needs so that you might become more aware of which ones you are prioritizing and which ones you need to continue to focus on fulfilling at a higher level.  Also, I feel it's important to truly understand if you are currently filling your needs in a positive or negative way.  This will help you to understand what drives your thoughts, behaviors and actions that are creating your life.   So, let's start to go through these needs and feel free to take some notes and really dig into what you feel are your Main Influencing Factors in your Success or Lack of Success in your life right now.   No it's interesting to note that the first four needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our Personality, and the last two needs are ones that fulfill the needs of our spirit.  True fulfillment comes from the last two needs, so really pay attention to those as we go through them.   Here are the 6 core needs:   Needs of the Personality 1-Certainty- the need for safety, stability, security, comfort, order, predictability, control, and consistency…Avoid Pain…   Obviously, we do our best to avoid pain in our lives by creating certainty.  However, a problem can arise for many of us when we create unrealistic expectations of what it take for certainty.  This can cause stress because we never seem to meet our needs for certainty.   This is when you need to start discovering what limiting beliefs and programming that you carry inside that is affecting your expectations and needs.   On the other hand, if we have too much Certainty we get bored, so this is why we need the second need.   2-Variety (uncertainty)- the need for variety, surprise, challenges, excitement, difference, chaos, adventure, change, and novelty.   My partner and mentor Robert Stuberg would say that your true success as an Entrepreneur (and happiness in life) in in direct proportion to the amount of Uncertainty that you can handle in your life. I believe this is because we already know that success, growth and “uncertainty” lies outside your comfort zone.     It is also interesting to note that these first two core needs work as a paradox and continually try to balance each other.  Certainty vs Uncertainty.  Which leads us to the 3rd Core Human Need.   3-Significance- the need to have meaning, special, pride, needed, wanted, sense of importance and worthy of love…we want to feel special.   I read a very impactful quote from Adam Sincinski that I think explains the need for significance really well…   "You can feel more significant by achieving something, by building something, by learning something or even by tearing other people down. They are all legitimate ways to fulfill the need for significance. The need for significance can help you achieve more, do more, and become the person you desire to be. All professional athletes would probably admit that the need for significance is a big part of their careers. In fact, it's probably one of the most important influential factors that go into every decision they make. On the other hand, the need for significance can be used for evil purposes. For instance, it can be used to hurt people or gain an unfair advantage. Take for example a bully. A bully bullies other people to feel important, significant, and worthy. Therefore the need for significance can actually lead to violence." - An In-Depth Exploration Of The Six Human Needs Shaping Your Life, Adam Sicinski   Tony Robbins talks about how VIOLENCE can also fulfill the need people have for significance in a destructive way.  Understanding the need for significance is very important so that we can better understand how to deal with this need in a positive and productive way in society and in our personal lives.   4-Love & Connection- the need for communication, approval and attachment, connection with, loved and intimate with another person.   Ultimately we are all searching for connection.  Love is one of the most powerful emotions and can bring with it both “true happiness” as well as our “deepest fear” due to rejection, loneliness and regret.  The key is to understand that love can be influenced by our beliefs in a big way.  Low self-worth, past relationship failures and good or bad business experiences can all affect our ways of fulfilling this need for love and connection.   A great example of this is why many of us settle for “Connection” rather than “Deep Commitment and Relationships” with others.  We dont want to get hurt in a relationship but we still need to fill our need for Love and Connection.  The problem with his is that we never truly fill this need long term by only satisfying it at a surface level.  The same can be said in business if we are untrusting or unwilling to risk moving forward with our goals due to past failures.   Needs of the Spirit 5-Growth- the need for constant emotional, intellectual and spiritual development.   You've heard the saying, “if you are not growing, you are dying”.  This comes from the fact that we all have a need to Grow.  The best way to do this is through personal development.  Without personal growth, you can feel “stuck in life”.     The negative side of Growth is that many of us apply filters of perfectionism so we don't recognize that we are growing because we are either 1)comparing ourselves to everyone else or 2) we set the bar so high we will never meet this need.  The KEY is to always play the game of life against the past version of yourself and not others. And, to always remember that you need to look forward and not back when you are growing.   6-Contribution- the need to give beyond ourselves, give, care, protect and serve others.   Another great saying is, “The Secret to Living is Giving”.  The meet will ultimately only get filled when you feel you are impacting and contributing to those around you:  in community, in your family, in your relationships, in your business.     I really like what my partner Robert Stuberg says when he talks about his life mission and use of Unique Talents.  The key to life is identifying your Unique Talent (excellent and passion about) and applying it in the service to others.  This is an Amazing way to Create Success while living a Happy and Fulfilled live, but it also satisfies this need at an extremely high level.   So...How are you meeting your 6 Core Human Needs?   We strive daily to meet these needs, but remember that our needs can ultimately be met in both constructive and destructive ways…positive and negative ways that will influence and affect our lives.   I believe that most all stress, anxiety, depression, and dysfunctional behavior comes from not filling these needs or filing these needs in a negative way.  The key is to understand yourself and your limiting beliefs that are affecting these core needs.  Find out how your inner beliefs are creating the filter you use to fill these needs on a daily basis.  In other words, how are your daily routines being influenced in a positive or negative way because of the programming you've adopted throughout your life.   So, I Encourage You to Ask Yourself these Key Questions: -What are my Top Core Needs? -How am I filling those needs now?  (positive or negative) -What are the beliefs that are driving my needs? -Are these beliefs serving me and my life's mission? -How are these needs impacting my relationships, business and communication?  -How can I redefine the parameters needed to meet these needs.   Let me give you an example of how Tony Robbins talks about using these 6 core human needs to redefine or increase the quality of your relationships…   Tony Robins says “If you're in a relationship with somebody and you meet one of their needs, you're going to have an acquaintance. If you meet two of their needs, you're going to have a friend. If you meet three of their needs, you're going to have a deep friendship or love. If you meet four of their needs, it's going to be a deep love. If you meet five or six of their needs, you're going to have a love slave. … They ain't going anywhere. But it's got to be you meeting their needs, not the other way around.” - Tony Robbins On How To Master Relationships, J.D. Meier   You get the point.  Ultimately, you can seriously impact the quality of “your life” and "others lives" if you will be INTENTIONAL with how you meet the 6 Core Human Needs of Yourself and Others.   I know that if you will take the time to “unpack” what is driving your life, then you will be far more effective in creating change, and you will completely transform your life and business.  But its gonna take a little work.  You must be willing to sit down and go through the motions to understand, identify, redefine and execute on your Core Needs in your life.  If you do this…I promise you will see massive changes in your life.   I appreciate you listening today.  I hope you've found some value in this information.  If you have, I encourage you to share this podcast episode with at least one person in your life.  Have an amazing day.   George Wright III

In this episode of Facing the Dark, Dr. Kathy starts by venting her frustration at the focus solely on the causes of the mental health crisis without discussing potential solutions. She challenges the popular narrative of blaming COVID for issues like loneliness and isolation, urging listeners to move forward and not give it too much authority. Drawing from previous episodes where she tackled technology's impact and the link between loneliness, isolation, and mental health, Dr. Kathy introduces the concept of the five core needs related to mental health: security, identity, belonging, purpose, and competence. Dr. Kathy emphasizes security as the most crucial need and stresses the importance of trusting people rather than external factors. The current culture of lying and the prevalence of falsehoods in society greatly impact young people's sense of security, Dr. Kathy explains. Encouraging listeners, specifically parents and individuals, to focus on what they can control, she advises becoming a source of security for their loved ones. Touching briefly on the importance of identity, Dr. Kathy mentions that without security, one's sense of identity can become uncertain and easily influenced by outside factors. She further shares that the Celebrate Kids podcast has had an intriguing week, delving into dark topics, and Dr. Kathy has been exploring similar themes in Saturday morning sessions.

EP336: In today's episode I talk about the 3 core needs that drive humans and I share which one was MY biggest driver of the three. As I talk about them, I'd love for you to think about which one most drives you. What are the thoughts you are thinking, and which need do your thoughts align with? What need, in the actions or non-actions you perform are you trying to satisfy most? Many of the beliefs that are at the root of these thoughts are unconscious to us, as you'll see in my examples. But once they are dug up and you are aware of them, you can begin the work to change your behavior and the beliefs that are unconsciously driving you.

While happiness is a gift from God, Dr. Kathy notes that it isn't a core need, and should be engaged carefully as we work to guide young people on to adulthood.
