Frequently Asked Questions
I feel a "quiet no" to everything today, even things I usually like. Why?
You are experiencing an "Implicit Refusal." This "Quiet No" operates beneath your awareness to protect you from "Total Saturation." In the Meaning Density Model™, your system has "Pre-emptively Declined" all new loops to ensure you don't add any more "Meaning Density" to an already full architecture. It’s a "Somatic Veto" designed to keep you from "Over-stacking."
How do I handle a day where everything feels like a "No"?
Practice "Minimal Engagement." Do only what is strictly necessary and label the rest as "Currently Vetoed." This respects your Safety system’s protective role. DojoWell teaches that "The Quiet No" is a gift of "Margin." By listening to it early, you prevent the "Loud No" (a total burnout/breakdown) from happening later. Honor the refusal, and your capacity will return sooner.
