Needs Journal Create a chart with five rows, one for each of the five levels in the hierarchy of needs. Then think of several activities you do each week to satisfy each of these five basic needs. For example, you are probably motivated by survival needs to eat meals, shower, and go grocery shopping; and you are probably motivated by social needs to interact with friends and family. Include activities that are motivated by more than one kind of need.

For example, you may be motivated to attend school by social, esteem, and self-actualization needs.
