Maslow's Hierarchy of needs: self-actualization, esteem, love/belonging, safety, and
physiological. The top 'pier' of Maslow's hierarchy being "self actualization" is in reference to people that are mostly satisfied with their life, accepting of it and perceiving reality realistically. I would say I need to become more self actualized as I tend to over analyze parts of my life, when often times those things I’m worried about like school, or a specific test really aren’t that important in the grand scheme. I need to be more generally happy and accepting of situations and my life as a whole, rather than let life constantly stress me out and worry me. Following self-actualization, is esteem, this is referring to how one feels about them self, which is based on how others treat and talk to one, as well as how that person views them self. Having good self esteem and confidence I personally believe go hand and hand, I am a confident person however should take other’s opinions less harshly and value them less to avoid bringing my esteem down. Also in order to feel as though I belong I need to surround myself with family and friends more that act and speak positively. Next is safety needs, safety does not refer to just physical safety but rather mentally as well. As a high school kid I feel my safety needs are fulfilled I have very supportive parents, and a blessed life, however as I get older especially in college this will become a more important part of my life, as I will be self reliant and then this safety becomes my responsibility. Lastly physiological needs, these are breathing, drinking, eating, sleep, sex, etc. these are the more obvious needs I feel that are fairly easy to keep in check/maintained, however I need to remember personally to sleep more, and not miss meals like breakfast in order to be as physiologically fulfilled as possible.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a list of needs ranging from survival needs to mental health needs.

This list starts out with the most basic of needs. Food, water, and a form of shelter. Luck for my I have parents to provide such for me.
Secondly, he has the need of safety. Also my parents provide such with me in our home, and rules, same goes for school.
Thirdly, the need of Belonging. Hopefully people have friends and siblings who are good to them.
fourthly, the need of feeling recognized. A way that I can feel recognized is when I work hard in school My grades reflect that and I am recognized for my hard work.
Fifthly, and lastly, the need for self actualization. I don't know how to apply this one to me as much because I don't always reach my full potential. I usually focus on some of the smaller things.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs shows how all humans have to have certain needs to be stable mentally and also survive in general. First is being physically healthy, everybody needs sleep and food to survive throughout the day. Next is safety, this one is pretty self explanatory, you need to be able to protect yourself from the everyday danger of life. Also you need to have a sense of belonging, you need that love that every person wants, that need that you are important. Furthermore you need to feel recognized as an important person to at least somebody, be it your friend, parents, teachers, everybody has to feel recognized. Last is reaching your potential, you need to feel as if you are doing something with your life and getting stronger and smarter everyday. One way i could relate this to me is i like to feel safe, even if I'm not i like to hoax myself into thinking it. I like to have that home feel that everything is going to be alright.

Maslow's Hierarchy of needs is a list of things that humans need to stay healthy. The list is: physical needs, need of safety, need of belonging, and need of self actualization. Physical needs is just things we need to stay alive for example food and water. I am supplied with my physical needs from my parents. Need of safety is being cautious of things we do. Almost anywhere you go there are rules for safety and what to do and what not to do. Belonging is just having friends or family that except you for who you are and the choices you make. I have surrounded myself with people I know i can trust and I know will accept me for me. The need of feeling recognized is to have attention. I feel that I have no problem with this need because I have made myself comfortable with being outgoing and different. Self actualization is a full development of ambition. When I try to do something I want to do then I work as hard as I can and I do everything in my power to succeed but I don't always try in everything I do.
