Frequently Asked Questions
Why shouldn't I try to "improve" this moment?
Improving is an optimization demand from the Status & Control system. It implies that the current moment is "deficient." This restarts the pursuit loop and prevents you from ever "landing." In the Meaning Density Model™, the most meaningful moments are the ones that don't need to be better. By removing the demand for improvement, you allow the moment to be "dense" and "complete" just as it is. You move from "striving" to "coherence."
How do I enjoy a moment that isn't "perfect"?
By realizing that "meaning" and "perfection" have nothing to do with each other. Meaning is a byproduct of completion and landing. Even a quiet, imperfect, or "flat" moment can be deeply meaningful if it is allowed to finish. By removing the optimization demand, you close the "comparison loop." You allow your nervous system to fully inhabit the "now," which is the only place where integration and true settlement can occur.
