Apart from the amazing colour in this building which I find inspiring it also looks stable. It made me think about all the vibrant happy people in my life who also demonstrate stability. As Maslow correctly identified stable lower order rituals allow people to thrive and realize their potential and become vibrant self leaders who are self transcendent. #maslow #maslowhierarchy #self #selflove #selfleader #selfleadership #lead #leadership #inspire #colour #vibrancy #streetart #streetartist #house #paint #spraypaint #spraypaintart #graffiti #graffitiart #graffitiartist #coach #coaching #iecl #icfa #icf #executivecoach #executivecoaching

Self-Actualization: What does Maslow's Theory Says? - xMonks

Everyone's a little different when it comes to human conduct, which is what makes a person distinctive. Maslow came up with the theory of needs. And he ranked all the needs one by one.Our needs are different. We aspire for different lives. How can one theory fit us all? What does Maslow's Theory say?

The Origin of Maslow’s Theory of Self Actualization

Psychoanalysis and behaviourism were prevalent in the field of psychology throughout the mid-twentieth century. These two viewpoints shared a general idea that humans are driven by factors beyond their control, notwithstanding their differences. As a result of this assumption, a new perspective known as humanistic psychology emerged. The humanists aimed to provide a more hopeful, proactive view of human endeavour.

This humanistic perspective gave rise to Maslow’s theory of self-actualization.

According to humanistic psychologists, persons are motivated by higher wants, particularly the desire to fulfil oneself. Maslow established his theory by observing mentally well persons, in contrast to psychoanalysts and behaviourists who concentrated on psychological issues. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a psychological motivational theory that consists of a five-tier model of human wants, which is sometimes shown as hierarchical tiers within a pyramid.

Maslow’s hierarchy describes human behaviour in terms of basic survival and growth requirements. These requirements, or needs, are categorised based on their importance for survival and ability to motivate the individual. The most fundamental physical needs, like food, water, and oxygen, are at the bottom of the need hierarchy. Individuals’ basic needs must be met before they can focus on other, more essential requirements. The needs of those at the top of the hierarchy are more concerned with psychological well-being and growth than with physical survival. People are more impacted by formal education and life experiences, and these demands have less ability to motivate them. The hierarchy of needs that results is frequently portrayed as a pyramid, with physical survival needs at the bottom and self-actualization needs at the top.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

It is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in Psychological Review. Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. Why is this theory important for the advertisement market? Because when you know the level of your target market in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, you can quickly determine what your prospects want, seek, and desire. However, when you aren’t sure about where your target market might be on the hierarchy, your marketing efforts become ineffective.

It isn’t a perfect customer profile which provides you with all you need, but it does allow you to quickly determine which group of people might be good prospects and which message they need to hear. What needs are they working for fulfilling? Think about the anxieties, fears and concerns those unfulfilled needs create for them. How could you present your product or service as the best solution, both in terms of meeting a need and reducing pressure?

In this sense Mallow's theory would help a lot.

On the left, a simple model of the brain. On the right, #maslowshierarchyofneeds What's interesting is the comparison and analysis of these two images/ideas. Maslow's hierarchy makes great sense when we consider #statedependentfunctioning , meaning level of arousal dictates responses to environment (eg. when calm we think clearly/reflective, when fearful or terrified we are more reactive etc). What is important to know is that as arousal increases, we move away from the neocortex, into lower systems in the brain, reducing intelligence sorta speak, and accessing archived responses from the library in that part of the brain. It makes sense that when one is in a place of desperation such as homelessness or any other disruptive event, the first priority would be basic needs such as food and water. The brain and human body was programed for self preservation, for survival. The brainstem is called the reptilian brain. When feeling unsafe, our midbrain structures activate and influence of behavior (fight/flight/freeze). Esteem and belonging needs are directly related to the limbic system, we seek group affection and attention, we need love, and we need to give love. We are social, tribal creatures! Our brain has developed in such a remarkable way that our behaviors are a function of our cognitive/emotional state. At the very top of Marlow's pyramid, is #selfactualization, and this could be said to be a functional of the #neocortex This part which has executive functioning, higher mental processes and dreams about what you want to be when you grow up. If your goal, like mine, is to manifest your highest self, stay calm, breathe, stay at the top of your brain, master your physiology & psychology. Top down regulation is what you want more of in the modern world, and when under attack, pray you don't need to activate bottom up regulation. #maslowhierarchy #neurobiology #neurosequentialmodeloftherapeutics #brain #regulation #psychology
