Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I constantly "narrating" my own life in my head?
This is Internal Narration, a mechanism of the Narrative & Identity system used to maintain a sense of "self-continuity." However, "over-narration" can become a "high-load" task. In this model, we aim for "Reduced Commenting." You don't have to "name" everything you do as you do it. By reducing the "internal play-by-play," you allow for more "Direct Experience," which has a much higher meaning density than the narrated version.
How do I stop the "internal commentary"?
You don't stop it; you "Lower the Volume." When you notice the commentary, return to the "Physical Fact" of what you are doing. Feel the water on your hands or the ground under your feet. This "Direct Contact" doesn't require a "description." In the Meaning Density Model™, "meaning" is found in the doing, not the naming. By letting the commentary run in the background without engaging it, you eventually find the "comment-free gaps" where true settlement lives.
