Being engaged is a process that includes initiating and maintaining participation in daily activities. During times of optimal engagement, individuals may not be aware of time passing, and may feel energized and/or a sense of peace. When not optimally engaged, individuals could either feel bored (one end of the continuum) or overwhelmed (other end of the continuum).
whats meaning
The meaning of activities is shaped by individual history, values and experiences, thus meaning will be as diverse as the individuals engaging in them. A ‘simple’ activity such as cooking a meal, for example, could be viewed as a unwelcome chore or as a source of enjoyment; it could also have symbolic meaning in the context of cultural celebrations. When day-to-day activities are full of meaning, then health and well-being can flourish. Conversely, the negative impact of a loss of meaningful activity can be significant.
