Discover them today and start changing your life too.

Thirteen years ago I trained as a life coach with Tony Robbins. I was already qualified as a counsellor, and had multiple years working in social work. But I wanted more.

I wanted answers to my own challenges, that I just couldn’t seem to shake off. And the training that Tony was offering seemed to fit the bill.

During the training, which took me a full twelve months of daily study. I was introduced to a simple theory I’m going to share with you now.

The six human needs.

Based on Maslow’s theory that there are five basic human needs we have to meet in order to experience happiness, fulfillment and success.

Tony along with his partner at the time Cloe Maddanes, created The six human needs.

Certainty/security.
Uncertainty/variety.
Significance.
Love and Connection.
Growth.
Contribution.

The theory around these topics is that you assess yourself on a scale of 0 to 10, how you are meeting that need.

So take certainty/security for example.

Which defines the ability to put a roof over your head, pay your bills and feel safe.

You can ask yourself on a scale of 0 to 10 how well, am I currently doing this? (Ten being the highest.)

If you score yourself 5 or under you need to work in this area.

Now let’s look at Uncertainty/variety.

The ability to manage the ups and downs of life. Confidently take risks and experience a full range of emotions, in order to feel alive.

Again rate yourself and if it’s 5 or under, you know there’s work to be done.

We all need to feel we are of significance in life, like we make a difference and are important to someone. Ask yourself how significant do you feel, between 0 and 10?
Love and connection. Are both vital to our existence. Like air and water. Do you feel you are hitting a 5 or above in this area?
Growth. Tony says “ If you don’t grow you die.” And it’s true. If we are not moving, shifting, shaping and expanding. We become disinterested in life. We lose confidence and courage and our souls cry out to be acknowledged and to have themselves expressed.

Are you currently, learning and applying new skills? And moving into being the best version of yourself?

Rate yourself now from 0 to 10.

Contribution.

The ability to give to others without expectation of anything in return. To serve humanity by serving others, is the highest privilege of all and shows a commitment to the collective.

Voluntary and charity work is the best we can offer to contribute..can you give some time, care or money however big or small. Maybe you’re already doing it. But is it at a 5 or higher?

It’s said that if you are excelling in the growth and contribution that you will incorporate all the others —

Certainty/security

Uncertainty/variety

Significance

Love and connection.

And you can see how that would be true.

You can ask yourself these 6 simple questions at the beginning of every month or couple of months to easily assess how you’re doing in life and if you’re not quite where you want to be then you can find solutions.

Look for a better job, that’s more financially fulfilling.
Have more fun and adventures.
Determine how you can make more of an impact in the lives of those you love or work with.
Open up your heart more, be more loving and connected.
Learn something new to enhance your life and the lives of others. Become better at planning, communicating, or expressing yourself.
Go do something charitable. Rescue an animal. Offer time at a hospital for someone sick. Or create a campaign to educate people on something that would impact the world.

We all have the capacity to create a better life for ourselves and others.

To achieve great things and become the best version of ourselves.

Why not try asking yourself today how you are meeting your six human needs and step into a happier, more fulfilling and successful life.
