Frequently Asked Questions

My mind feels "quieter" and less crowded. Why do I feel a bit uneasy about it?

You are experiencing "Reduced Density," and your Status system might be mistaking "quiet" for "unproductive" or "empty." In the Meaning Density Model™, we name this new spaciousness neutrally. The unease is just your system adjusting to a lack of "noise." You have been "High-Density" for so long that "Low-Density" feels foreign. Trust that the quiet is not a "void" but a "room" where your Narrative & Identity can finally breathe and settle.

How do I get comfortable with the "lack of crowding" in my head?

Practice "Inhabiting the Space." Don't rush to fill the quiet with new information or pings. Stay in the "less crowded" feeling for five minutes at a time. Remind yourself: "This space is my recovery." In DojoWell, we believe that "Spaciousness" is the structural requirement for meaning. By allowing your mind to be "less full," you are making it possible for your experiences to finally start "landing" and becoming part of your wisdom.
