Frequently Asked Questions
Can I just "be" without having a task to do? It feels wrong.
Yes, you are learning that "There’s No Task Attached" to your existence. In the Meaning Density Model™, we often "couple" our awareness with "action." We think being aware means we should be doing something. Decoupling these two reduces avoidance because you no longer fear that "paying attention" will lead to "more work." Presence is its own "Meaningful Landing," independent of your to-do list.
How do I practice "Presence without Tasks"?
Set a timer for 3 minutes and just observe your environment with "Zero Intent." If your Reward system suggests a task, label it "Task" and go back to "Observing." This "Pure Awareness" strengthens your Identity system by proving that you are more than just a "Task-Processor." In DojoWell, we believe that the most "High-Density" moments of life occur when there is no task attached—just the direct experience of being alive.
