How well are your emotional needs being met?

Nature has hardwired us with fundamental physical and emotional needs that are essential to our well-being. The level of stress we experience is closely linked to how well these needs are currently being met, as well as how effectively we manage the situations when they are not being fulfilled.

Please rate, based on your own judgment, how well the following emotional needs are being met in your life at this moment. Use a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 means "not met at all" and 7 means "very well met."

How do your scores look?

If your scores are mostly low, you are more likely to be suffering stress symptoms. If any need is scored 3 or less this is likely to be a major stressor for you. Even if only one need is marked very low it can be enough of a problem to seriously affect your mental and emotional stability.

Stress, anxiety, anger, depression and addiction are the result of our innate needs not being met, either due to environmental factors, harmful conditioning or misuse of imagination, (worrying). People should not have mental health problems when their innate needs are being met in balanced, healthy ways.

By highlighting areas in your life where your essential needs are not being met as well as they could be, you can use this questionnaire to help you think constructively about how your life could be improved.
