Invited to express a need?

Updated: Jan 1

Then CONGRATULATIONS! You're invited to be more need-responsive to each other. You're afforded the opportunity to express your need to melt the chains of alienation like a hot knife cutting through butter. This is our way to introduce you to this new way to solve problems by resolving needs. Which removes cause for pain. And enables us to reach more of our life's potential. Welcome to what the power of love can do for you.


 

There are three different ways you can be invited. And three different ways you can invite others to express their need to you. Three ways to spread some love.


1) INVITATION video

Were you invited to express your need with this short video? If inviting another to express a need to you, you can forward this video to them. Right click on it to select an option best for you.



2) INVITATION card

Were you invited to express your need with this meme? If inviting others to express a need to you, you can print out your own cards. You just have to print both sides, preferably on cardstock, and then cut it into four.

However you use this invitation, think of it as a "warmup" for a possible "wellness campaign" to resolve needs. Or you can simply stop there and see if it helps improve your relations.


 

Let's address what this INVITATION can mean for you.

Scroll down further for options to respond to this innovative idea.


 

So your invited to express a need


Someone who knows you just sent you a curious invitation. You probably never before received an invitation to directly express a need the sender pledges to honor shortly after.


Whether invited verbally in person with an INVITATION card or online by an INVITATION video, or both, you're now honored to share being


Let's break downs some key comparisons.

need-responsive
feel-reactive

respond to needs with discipline


resolve needs over relieving pain


prioritize resolving needs to remove pain


prioritize resolving both side’s needs


correlating with better health outcomes

react on feelings without reflection


relieving pain over resolving needs


prioritize easing pain that perpetuates pain


prioritize one side’s needs over other side’s


correlating with poor health outcomes

Let's apply this need-responsive alternative when replying to your invitation to express a need.



Your invitation


Now that you are invited to benefit from need-response...


you may be wondering,

What in the world is need-response?


Need-response is a new professional service for resolving needs.


All other professional services like

  • psychological services (counseling, psychiatry),

  • medical services,

  • legal services (judicial, political),

  • educational services,

  • entertaining services...

focus more on relieving pain

of your unmet needs.

Every unresolved need

risks leaving you in more pain.


That's a key reason

these institutions are failing.

That's a big cause

why we don't trust them anymore.


Only need-response

aims to fully resolve needs

to remove cause for pain.


This can bring out more of our potential

for love,

or mutual respect for each other.


And these are just some of the

benefits of need-response.



Need-response encourages the sender

to now demonstrate their loving respect

for your stated needs.


So the sender asks you...



Is there anything I can do to improve how I respect you and your needs?




The sender is to wait for your response

before expressing if you could improve

any respect for them

and their needs.


Unless you prefer the sender to express express their need now.


Maybe you prefer they express their need first.

You could then use that as a model to express your need to them.


They are encouraged to follow the "praise sandwich" format, but you don't have to.

praise sandwich of good news, bad news, good news
  • Good news: Thanking you for what you already do for them.

  • Bad news: Giving less pleasant news of their dissatisfied need.

  • Good news: Concluding with affirming your intent to continue mutual respect.

This format is a great way to cultivate trust

and our potential for mutual respect of love.


Before get too deep into the weeds about their expressed need, let's focus now on responding with your own need.



Your response


After you're invited, you can take one of the five following options.


When responding to an invitation to respond better to your needs, it helps if you can keep it…

  1. simple, not complicated,

  2. easy, not too challenging,

  3. brief, won't take too long,

  4. specific, not too vague to do,

  5. actionable, not abstract, and

  6. meaningful, satisfies a need.


Examples of what the sender could do for you:

  • express overdue gratitude;

  • give a hug;

  • apologize for something;

  • listen and show you understand;

  • give and take a complement.

Let's replace our old habits of

  • isolation,

  • alienation,

  • disappointed expectations,

  • hostilities,

  • outrage and more

with new habits of

  • mutual empathy,

  • mutual forgiveness & mercy,

  • mutual understanding,

  • mutual respect,

  • mutual support and more.


Together with this new approach of need-response...



Let's spread some love.
