@Sigma it's a void left by social conditioning - you can fill it with something else

The way I fill it is through doing stuff

MMA fills it

easily

self-actualisation is much more fulfilling then meeting your emotional needs - you have a passion for MMA and that's great - don't let anyone sway u off ur path

once you self-actualise, you'll have a scope of how everything fits together

The self-actualization can be visualized by the pyramid. Moslow's hierarchy of human needs

yeah exactly

emotional needs are at the bottom

that's what im refering to

physiological needs are at the bottom

yea

emotional are 2 under self actualisation

i tihnk 2

ooh

you're right

the top one, that wasn't published but maslow was working on just before he died, was self-transcendence that is actually on top of self-actualisation

just googled it

I've heard of self- transcendence

Don't know how to do that

@JDB yeah but I think there is a reason why we have this void, and the reason take place in childhood. i think some part of the maslow hierarchy are build during childhood. If they are not built well, there are those voids

the only way to self-actualise, and then transcend, is to be alone in your head and 'tidy up' things.

don't really know how to self-actualize either, but I've always thought that you need to meet all of the things below the top of the pyramid before you can self-actualize

@Shido yeah, it';s fustrating but the sooner you become conscious of this the sooner you can fill it and build further layers of 'meaing'

I agree with Shido on this one

I don't think all of my needs were really met during childhood, which is why I have emotional problems

well isnt self-actualising when you, 'self', actually realise, 'actualise', your potential and personal mission in life

I have trouble sticking with meditation

be alone is one the key to face your fears and your negative thoughs

Well being alone without any internet, or technology

go into the woods by yourself and reflect

so the only way to do that is to ask yourself the big questions :(quoting from avatar the last airbender) "who are you? and what do you want!?"

get into nature

yep

running alone with your though, exercice,

i do a thing

a mysterious one

when i learned about the validation concept

i changed my phone number and give it only to my family

i cut everything from social network

i just want to be alone and to face it deeper
