Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do when I feel an "internal push" to work or fix something?
You "Notice the Pressure Without Leaning Into It." Pressure is a "signal" from the Status or Pursuit systems, but it is not a "command." You can feel the "push" and remain physically still. By not "aligning" with the pressure—not getting up the moment the "itch" starts—you prove to your nervous system that you are in control. This breaks the Avoidance Loop where you work just to escape the feeling of pressure.
Does "not leaning in" mean I'll never get anything done?
No. It means when you do act, it will be a "Chosen Action" rather than a "Pressure Reaction." By waiting for the pressure-spike to pass, you allow your Narrative & Identity system to make a high-density decision based on your actual values. This makes your work more sustainable and less "expensive" for your nervous system to perform.
