I don't have a problem whatsoever motivating to hold my wattage/HR up on a descent if it's safe. Just gear up and spin it out. It's not a motivation issue - it's a safety issue. Doing hairpin turns at 25+mph with my bike handling skills is a bad idea.
You might try braking while still pedaling on the downhills. I do it on a 4 corner loop I ride and it allows me to keep the power steady while safely going around the corners. No reason you couldn't do it on a hill as well.
