If you're struggling to create and dream, here's a refresher on Maslow's hierarchy to encourage you!

As a first-year grad student (MSW to be a therapist), I came across Maslow's hierarchy of needs last semester. I hadn't thought of this since the 80s in Psych 101. The refresher helped me realize that many of us, no matter our age, are struggling to stay afloat, and this keeps us on the bottom two levels of Maslow's hierarchy. Remembering this helped me be a little kinder to myself. I also remind people I love who are struggling, why it feels so hard to make forward progress, too.

I can get so frustrated with myself for not making bigger strides on projects and dreams. But this is a good reminder that there’s a reason that’s hard when you’re just trying to pay the rent
