Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't I just "feel" aligned with my goals immediately?
You are "Removing the Expectation of Automatic Alignment." Modern "hustle culture" suggests you should be "all in" or "failing." In reality, the human integrator is slow. Alignment is a Process, not a switch. Recognizing that alignment doesn't happen automatically prevents you from judging your initial resistance. It allows the different parts of your system to "catch up" to your conscious choices at their own biological pace.
How can I encourage alignment if it isn't automatic?
Through Repeated Engagement. Alignment happens as the Reward system begins to see the "density" of the new path and the Safety system realizes the change isn't a threat. You provide the safety, and the alignment follows. By not "forcing" the feeling of alignment, you reduce the stress that actually keeps the parts of your system disconnected.
