The Momentum Diagnostic

Use the sliders to assess your current state. Calculate at the bottom.

Momentum = Mass × Velocity − Resistance
Your Starting Point

Your Goals

Pick a goal. This is what you're building Momentum around.

Mass

Network · Skills · Knowledge

What you carry into the work. What you know, who you know, what you can apply.

Current Mass
5.0
Velocity

Speed + Energy

Direction = energy expressed. When clear & aligned, it compounds.

1 = stalled out · 10 = moving at a strong, sustainable clip

5

1 = mostly noise / distraction · 10 = everything aligned with what matters most

5

1 = avoiding, hiding, or pretending · 10 = actively curious and engaged

5

1 = rushed, reactive, scattered · 10 = clear, aligned, compounding

Current Velocity

Resistance

Cognitive · Emotional · Somatic · Relational

Friction is information. Every type of resistance is telling you something specific.

1 = crystal clear focus · 25 = mind consumed by noise

13

1 = grounded, steady · 25 = frequently stuck in emotional spin

13

1 = body strong, regulated · 25 = body heavy, braced, depleted

13

1 = relationships supportive, flowing · 25 = relationships frustrating, stalled, misaligned

Calculate Your Momentum

When momentum stalls, diagnose the variable.

Momentum = 5.0 × 5.052

What the Score Means

Mass

What do you need to learn? Who do you need to seek out?

Velocity

Do you need to increase or decrease speed? How does your energy need to shift?

Resistance

How will you address each area of resistance?
