Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
Self-actualization Need - "Even if all these needs are satisfied, we may still often (if not always) expect that a new discontent and restlessness will soon develop, unless the individual is doing what he or she, individually, is fitted for. Musicians must make music, artists must paint, poets must write if they are to be ultimately at peace with themselves. What humans can be, they must be. They must be true to their own nature. This need we may call self-actualization."
The basic hierarchy is found here:
P, S, L, E, SA
Just some good theories from my psych class that I've been meaning to put up for a few weeks... Some people may rearrange these needs in a different order as they see fit, but this is primarily the general model for what Maslow deemed the order which most people usually go for. If one level isn't taken cared of first, it seems plausible that the others either can't happen or won't feel ultimately necessary at that moment. However, everyone has their idea of what comes first, second, etc. Some people would choose love over safety or stability, some people may choose self-actualization before love/belonging, some people may choose, during times of war, other things first. But I leave you this information for your own awakening or consideration. It's always good to open your mind to new bubbles of thought or revisit what you thought was already set in your mind.
According to Maslow, psychologically "healthy" people show:
1. An objective perception of reality
2. Acceptance of their own natures
3. A commitment and dedication to some type of work
4. Naturalness, simplicity in behavior, and spontaneity
5. Independence; a need for autonomy and privacy
6. Intense mystical/peak experiences
7. Empathy with, and affection for, all humanity--including strong social interests
8. Resistance to conformity
9. Democratic characteristics
10. Keenness to be creative
