Ever feel like you’re just chuffing along in your day-to-day tracks? That could indicate a craving for novelty.
Novelty is one of the basic human needs that Abraham Maslow identified (& then laid out for us in a handy pyramid form). It’s up at the top of the pyramid. And that makes boredom one of the biggest gifts we take for granted. After all, boredom lets us know that we are secure enough to crave & seek out novelty.
Here are the other top-pyramid needs for self-actualization, or personal fulfillment:
Novelty / creativity / spontaneity
Morality / safety
Sense of purpose / meaning / inner potential
Acceptance

You may find these concepts worded differently through different sources, but their intention is consistent. Bottom line: We need each other, need to be needed & need to DO SOMETHING with our lives.
