Needs

No one wants to be seen as emotionally needy.  Pull up your big boy pants and get it done yourself. Things could always be worse and…No one is coming.

The problem with emotional needs is we all have them but few are brave enough to identify them much less articulate them.  It’s worth exploring what you need because all sorts of crappy things happen when you have unmet needs.

It actually takes a much bigger man to figure out what you need than to simply “handle it” on your own.

Feeling stuck? Man up and figure out what you need then ASK!  Get the emotional nutrients from a comrade so you can step into who God made you to be instead of playing small via self-reliance.

Here is a list of core emotional needs I learned from J. Townsend:

~Acceptance

~Containment

~Empathy

~Validation

Pro Tip: Be careful who you ask.
