Frequently Asked Questions
I feel like I’m "leaning" into my day before it even starts. How do I stop?
This is an "Action Bias." Your system is "tilted" toward doing because the Threat & Safety system believes that "Action = Control." In the Meaning Density Model™, you can name this bias without actually obeying it. Just saying, "My system is currently tilted toward action," creates a "Meaning Buffer." It separates your Identity from the impulse to stay busy, allowing you to remain still while the "tilt" exists.
What happens if I name the bias but still feel the urge to act?
That's okay. The goal isn't to kill the urge, but to "Contain" it. Witness the bias as a technical setting of your nervous system. By not acting on every "tilt," you build "Inhibitory Capacity." Over time, this makes your actions more "Intentional" and "High-Density," rather than just being a series of nervous reactions to internal pressure.
