Frequently Asked Questions
Why didn't I notice the exact moment I started feeling calmer?
Settling often arrives "without announcement." Unlike the sharp "spike" of a dopamine hit, regulation is a slow, structural shift. It doesn't have a marker because it is the absence of a signal—the absence of urgency, the absence of pursuit. You only notice it in retrospect when you realize you haven't been "reaching" for a distraction. This quiet arrival is the hallmark of a healthy, successful transition into the recovered meaning era.
Why is a "quiet arrival" of calm better than a sudden breakthrough?
Sudden breakthroughs are often just high-intensity "meaning spikes" that fade quickly. A quiet, unannounced calm is structural. It means your nervous system has reached a genuine state of coherence. Because it wasn't manufactured by effort or narrative, it is much more stable. You didn't "do" the calm; you allowed the conditions for calm to return, making it a sustainable baseline rather than a fleeting peak.
