How does it feel when you lose something in life? It could be a relationship, health, money, or almost anything.

Usually it doesn't feel so good. And sometimes it doesn't feel so good for a really really long time.

This pain often comes from the loss of one of our basic human needs being met, like the need for closeness, love, security, expression, etc….we humans have a lot of things we need to be living our #bestlife.

The severity and length of the pain of loss is often related to your strategy of getting these needs met and it's most likely broken, and it's not your fault. You likely never went to the store to shop around for strategies to get your needs met. It's probably a hand me down from whoever raised you.

For example, how upset do you get when the sun goes down each day? Likely not too upset even though sunlight is very important need for human survival. Why? You know this need can be met using lights and at the very least you know the sun will come up again tomorrow. You have a great strategy for the need of light.

Often our strategy for getting our needs met is like a Coconut. Where there's a thick coating between us and the world and maybe we only allow for a small connection for sending and receiving.

On this episode of the podcast I'm going to talk about changing your strategy for getting your needs met so that you can minimize the suffering of loss by being more like a Strawberry where the yumminess is closer to the surface. I'm now on Tik Tok! Check out @justinwenckphd there for super quick ways to relax, energize, and connect.
