How can I apply self-determination theory in my life?

Self-Determination Theory (SDT) focuses on intrinsic motivation and the fulfillment of basic psychological needs. You can apply it by fostering autonomy, competence, and relatedness in your daily activities.

Can you give me examples of how to foster autonomy?

Sure! You can foster autonomy by setting your own goals, making choices in your daily tasks, and seeking out activities that align with your interests.

What about competence? How can I improve that?

To improve competence, engage in activities that challenge you but are achievable. Set small, realistic goals and celebrate your progress to build confidence.

And how do I enhance relatedness?

Enhancing relatedness involves building connections with others. Spend time with friends, join groups with shared interests, and communicate openly to strengthen your relationships.

Thanks! This is really helpful.
