#3: Building Habits From The Ground Up
Entry #3: Building Habits From The Ground Up Satisfying the Basic Needs of Maslow's Hierarchy To not only reach self-actualization, but also to reach it consistently, I knew that I would need to start from the beginning. I needed to undergo a complete change in my daily approach to life. Based on my goals and personality, I knew I would benefit from adding structure to my days in a way that introduced continuous building. Each day, a new building block can be formed that can connect to the previous day to build towards the person I have always been meant to be. For me, and I think most people, each step on the path to self-actualization can be stabilized by meeting the basic physical and mental needs (the bottom layer of Maslow's hierarchy). This foundation makes sense: I know that my ideal me is not someone who is unhealthy and unhappy. But what is my ideal me? That is a question for each of us to decide.
