The Overpowering Nature of Unmet Needs

The overpowering nature of unmet needs creates chaos, resulting from influence, and can lead us to do things we don't want to do. When we continuously make decisions that are not beneficial and put us in a loop, we feel out of control, weak, depleted, and terrible about ourselves. These lead to boredom, frustration, anxiety, loneliness, and struggle, which result in cravings for self-destructive ways to meet our needs. When we meet our needs in unhealthy ways, we self-criticize and take ourselves out of the present moment, making it difficult to make decisions aligned with what we truly desire.

In this episode, Tina shares more about the overpowering nature of unmet needs and how to meet our needs healthily to avoid craving for self-destructed ways. When dealing with an out-of-control situation, there are unconscious needs that are driving us, and if we don’t meet them in a healthy way, we'll meet them in a way that is not legitimately and authentically the right way. Unmet needs will not go away. Stop trying to operate on your willpower and learn how to ID, move to acceptance and decide how to proceed! Get to know what your soul wants for you and allow the full expression of your potential and the magic life has for you. Don't allow unmet needs to rule your decisions. Let’s jump in!
