Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to just "be" without trying to improve myself right now?
Yes. Decoupling presence from the "improvement loop" is essential for recovery. Constant self-improvement is often a disguised Avoidance Loop where you move to avoid the feeling of "not enough." When a moment doesn't ask you to improve, the inner pressure to "fix" yourself dissolves. This allows your Identity system to land in its current form, which is the necessary starting point for any authentic, high-density change.
Does stopping my self-improvement efforts mean I'll get worse?
No. It means you are moving from "pressure-based change" to "integration-based growth." Pressure-based change is low-density and often collapses. Integration-based growth happens naturally when the system feels safe and settled. By removing the demand for improvement, you allow your nervous system to reach a "done" signal. Once you are structurally settled, your next step forward will be a chosen action rather than a frantic reaction.
