Quick Needs' Check-in

from The Spark Pack with Dr. Angela Gala Hosted by Dr Angela Gala Gonzalez

This tool is a brief version of the Personal Needs Meditation tool, which is an experiential exercise designed to help people explore and clarify what they need in the context of a stressful life event. The Personal Needs ‘Check-In’ tool can be used in everyday life, given people often fail to take the time to sufficiently notice and attend to their underlying needs as they move through their busy days. The practice consists of three steps to help people (1) acknowledge what they are thinking and feeling, (2) identify what they need in a situation, and (3) come up with an action to move toward meeting this need. Psychological need satisfaction has been shown to foster immediate well-being and strengthen inner resources for resilience (Vansteenkiste & Ryan, 2013) Author: This tool was created by Dr. Lucinda Poole and Dr. Hugo Alberts. Voice: Dr. Angela Gala
