When Judgment Loses Momentum
When judgment loses momentum, nothing pushes it to stop.
Like a ball rolling across the floor, it slows naturally when no force feeds it.
You don’t interfere.
You simply don’t add speed.
The slowing happens by itself.
Let judgment decelerate with DojoWell.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the inner critic seem to "slow down" on its own after a while?
This is "Momentum Loss." Most mental noise is "self-perpetuating"—it stays fast because we keep "pushing" it through reaction, defense, or worry. When you stop reacting, the "engine" of the critique loses its fuel. Like a spinning wheel that is no longer being pushed, it will eventually slow and stop on its own biological timeline. Allowing it to slow naturally is more effective than trying to "brake" it with force.
How can I tell if the momentum is actually slowing?
You’ll notice the "Gaps" between thoughts get longer. Or, the "Tone" of the voice becomes less urgent and more repetitive. This is a signal that your Reward & Pursuit system is no longer finding "value" in the conflict. By simply waiting and staying neutral, you facilitate this deceleration, leading to a state of Structural Stillness that doesn't require mental effort to maintain.
