Cognitive Softening: Relaxing the Rigid Mind
Understand how softening your thinking changes your emotional world.
The Ease of Fewer Words Inside
Fewer words appear inside, not because they were removed, but because they were no longer needed.
Thoughts still exist, yet they arrive without commentary.
This moment does not ask language to disappear completely.
It simply notices the ease that comes when fewer words are used, allowing experience to remain intact without constant narration or explanation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my brain feel like it has to "talk" to me all day?
This is Internal Verbalization, a high-energy method the Narrative system uses to "prove" it exists. In this model, "fewer words inside" represents Cognitive Efficiency. Reducing the internal monologue isn't losing your mind; it's moving toward "Direct Processing." By using fewer words, you save metabolic energy and increase "meaning density," as you are experiencing life rather than just "reporting" on it to yourself.
How do I reduce the internal chatter?
You don't "silence" it; you "De-prioritize" it. When the inner voice starts, treat it like a "caption" rather than the "event." In the Meaning Density Model™, we focus on the "Somatic Fact"—the feeling of the task at hand. By shifting attention to the sensation of doing, the "verbal loop" naturally loses its importance and eventually its volume, leading to a state of easeful, non-verbal presence.
