Needs and strategies

I am currently training in non-violent communication. A big topic is the subject of needs. What do I need to be able to live well?
For every need, e.g. closeness, security, etc., there are many ways to fulfil it. Usually you can only think of a few yourself. That's why we did an interesting exercise in the working group today. Everyone wrote down a need that is important to them on a piece of paper and then everything they could think of to fulfil this need. The need for safety can be met by fire alarms and burglar alarms, for example, but also by acquiring new skills, clear communication, structures, prayer, strength training, etc.
In the end, we had collected many different ways to fulfil needs such as safety, clarity, sensuality and lightness. I found it very enriching and inspiring to hear from others how they fulfil a particular need. It gave me completely new ideas.
