You practice Post-Strain Neutrality. You name the state—"My system is currently strained"—without "interpreting" it as a disaster or a failure. In this framework, interpretation adds "cognitive load." By treating exhaustion as a "neutral biological fact," you prevent the Status loop of self-pity or self-criticism. This keeps your energy focused on the simple task of "existing" while you recover.
It means you "De-task the Caring." You don't have to "worry" about being tired to be tired. In the Meaning Density Model™, "caring" about your strain often manifests as "monitoring" it, which prevents settlement. By being neutral, you allow the body’s "automatic repair" systems to work without the "interference" of your analytical mind.
