Need for Acknowledgement

Strategies:

Play a video game

There is such a wide diversity of video games out there. Calming exploratory games, puzzle games, combat, story, single or multiplayer, etc. Once I get in touch with the need that is alive in me it’s fun to look for a game or game genre that might tend specifically to that.

Read a poem you like aloud

Try a search online like poets.org. Search a key word related to what you’re experiencing right now. Find a poem you’re relating to and in the privacy of your room or car or closet (wherever you feel comfortable) and read the poem aloud to yourself. Let it gives you words in a time when you have none. Experience the validation that this artist understands also how you might be feeling right now and sees it as valid too.
