CROSS OF MENTAL HEALTH

 
under construction
 
After a person's physical need to survive is met, everything we do, consciously or unconsciously, is purposely chosen (again, consciously or unconsciously) to satisfy one or more of four psychological needs.  These four needs,
 
FREEDOM
FUN
PURPOSE
BELONGING
 
make up the Cross of Mental Health.  All stress and mental illness may be traced back to a failure to adequately satisfy one or more of these basic needs.  A huge part of knowing yourself is knowing which needs are most dominant in your character, and how best to meet them.
