Needs Journal Review Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and create a chart for yourself with a row for each of the five needs. Think about the activities you do each week and what motivates you to satisfy your needs in each category. For example, you are probably motivated by physical needs to eat meals and go grocery shopping; and you are probably motivated by social needs to interact with friends and family. Write down your top motivators for each need. You may find that an important activity, like attending school, for example, motivates you on multiple levels, such as social, esteem, and self-actualization.
