(The What)

What actions/thoughts/beliefs get you fired up? What actions/thoughts/beliefs warm you at your core? What are you doing that makes you feel like you’re in a state of flow?

Passion Exercise

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Put yourself back in the place where you felt limitless energy and joy. What were you doing? Who were you with? What made it so enjoyable?

Motivation

(The Why)

Where do you get your value from? What language do you use to describe the things you do? What do you tell yourself when you’re deciding to do something?

How Are You Talking to Yourself and Others?

Range of Engagement

in Your Language

Can’t – No power. 100% forced. Have to – Very low power. Mostly forced. Need to – Low power. Self-forced. Want to/Choose to – 100% Self-powered.
