Self-Neglect & Internalized Unworthiness
Understand self-neglect as a quiet, destructive emotional pattern rooted in old wounds.
When the Body Prepares to Move
The body prepares to move
before anything
is decided.
Weight shifts.
Muscles engage.
Attention leans forward.
This is mobilization,
not urgency.
It happens automatically,
without asking permission.
Naming it
matters.
You are not late
or behind—
you are activated.
Recognizing preparation
without acting
allows the system
to feel seen
without being driven.
Energy can exist
without direction.
Recognize mobilization gently with DojoWell.

Frequently Asked Questions
I feel a sudden surge of "go-energy" but there’s no emergency. Is my body broken?
No, you are experiencing "Mobilization." In the Meaning Density Model™, your Threat & Safety system prepares to move long before urgency is real. Your body is simply "priming the engine." By recognizing this as a biological "pre-load" rather than a panic attack, you prevent the Narrative system from inventing a reason to be afraid, allowing the energy to exist as a neutral resource.
What should I do with this energy if I don't need to move?
Acknowledge the "Mobilization Signal" without acting on it. Tell your system: "I see you are ready to move; we are safe right now." This closes the Evaluation Loop. In DojoWell, we suggest "Micro-Movement"—like tensing and releasing your calves—to give that mobilization a "partial landing" so it doesn't stay trapped as pure anxiety.
