Erikson proposed that we are motivated by a need to achieve competence in certain areas of our lives. According to psychosocial theory, we experience eight stages of development over our lifespan, from infancy through late adulthood. Successful completion of each developmental task results in a sense of competence and a healthy personality. Failure to master these tasks leads to feelings of inadequacy.

One great way to self-reflect is to consider when you felt proud of yourself and were at your best. Those moments when you enjoyed a process and felt a sense of accomplishment is what we refer to as 'enjoyable accomplishments'. Those situations can be from any parts of your life (work, volunteer, school, hobbies, etc.) and from any time in your life. Take a moment to write down details of three specific experiences that you would define as 'enjoyable accomplishments' (you probably have many - it doesn't matter which ones you choose).
