Drive & Motivation Companion

Your drive right now

Pick one thing you want to move toward — a project, a goal, a change, a pull of curiosity. Example: “I want to restart my writing” or “I keep meaning to sort out my health.”

What you want to move toward What is this about? (optional) Workshop code (optional)

Part 1 · Where the wanting lives

1. When you think of it, what shows up first?

A physical lift or pull — energy, appetite, restlessness, the urge to just go and do it. A familiar spark tied to a specific cue — a place, a habit, a routine, a reward I chase. A picture of the goal — the plan, the meaning, the reason it matters.

2. What does the wanting feel most like?

Raw drive and curiosity in the body — wanting to explore, build, or chase. A pull toward things that have reliably rewarded me before. A sense of purpose and direction I've thought my way into.

3. What gets you moving on it?

Just starting — momentum and doing wake the appetite up. The right cue or trigger — a time, a place, a person, a streak I don't want to break. Reconnecting to why it matters and picturing the outcome.

4. When the drive is strong, where is it?

In my body — I feel alive, energised, pulled forward. In my habits — I'm on a roll and the pattern carries me. In my mind — the vision is clear and I know where I'm heading.

5. When it fades, what's usually missing?

The physical spark — I feel flat, tired, or numb. The cue or rhythm — the routine broke and I lost the thread. The meaning — I've lost sight of why it matters.

6. What tends to reignite it?

Movement, novelty, play, or a small win that gets the body going. Rebuilding the cue or routine — same time, same place, one easy first step. Reconnecting to purpose — remembering the why and re-picturing the goal.

Part 2 · What might be damping it

7. Tick anything that's in the way right now. Leave blank if your drive feels fairly free.

I'm anxious about it — worried I'll fail, be judged, or get it wrong, so I hold back. It feels risky or exposing, so part of me freezes or avoids starting. I'm frustrated, resentful, or blocked — something feels unfair and it's souring the drive. I keep hitting a wall or being held back, and the anger is taking the wind out of it. I'm low, lonely, or grieving, and it's hard to care or reach for things. A loss or disconnection has flattened my appetite for anything.
