To feel engaged and ready to take action , to put your heart into what you do and have the intrinsic energy to move forward, even when the task or project requires significant effort, it is important to respect this equation, the very recipe for engagement :

Competence + Autonomy = Meaning + Pleasure

So, to fully engage in a task or a project, you must:

  • To feel competent, either to feel good enough to try or to feel capable of eventually becoming good.
  • Feeling autonomous, that is, feeling that it is possible to do it in your own way and at the time you choose, that the responsibility given is your own and not someone else's.
  • Finding meaning in the task to be done, or ensuring that one understands the why of it and that this why is consistent with one's values ​​and aspirations.
  • Finding pleasure in carrying out the task , or understanding that the purpose of the task will bring satisfaction in our daily lives or in our lives in general.
