Practical Self-Discovery

This simple framework can help you understand your own motivation. Self-Determination Theory suggests that we all have three core psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. When these needs are met, we thrive. When they're not, we feel unmotivated and drained. By examining your daily life through this lens, you can pinpoint what's missing and identify small changes to regain a sense of control, effectiveness, and connection.
