psychic energy
Mind's driving power
Psychic energy is a concept from psychology and spirituality referring to mental or emotional force that drives thought, motivation, and action.
In Freudian theory, it's the fuel behind desires and impulses.
In New Age contexts, it suggests a spiritual life force that can be directed, blocked, or depleted: I don't have the psychic energy to deal with this today.
