Learning to prioritize your needs involves recognizing and moving away from covert contracts, which are expectations of receiving something in return when giving. The speaker emphasizes the importance of giving to oneself before others, breaking the pattern of seeking approval or validation through giving. By focusing on personal needs and priorities, such as health care, self-care, and personal development, individuals can avoid neediness and resentment towards others. Prioritizing oneself is not selfish but essential for maintaining a full 'bucket' to give to others from a place of abundance rather than lack. Acknowledging and meeting one's needs does not equate to neediness, but rather empowers individuals to have a healthy self-concept and healthy relationships.
