Needs are internal motives that energize, direct and sustain behaviour.
They generate strivings necessary for the maintenance of life as in physiological needs, and for the promotion of growth and wellbeing as in psychological and implicit needs.
The drive theory of motivation tells us that physiological needs originate in our bodies.
As our physiological system attempts to maintain health, it registers in our brain a psychological drive to satisfy a physiological craving and motivates us to bring the system from deficiency toward homeostasis.
