How Overthinking Drains Physical Energy
Understand why thinking too much drains your energy and impacts your body.
When Thinking Feels Dense
Thinking feels thick, as if moving through fog where distance is unclear.
Ideas exist, but their edges blur together.
This window does not clear the fog or seek sharpness.
It simply names density again, allowing repetition without frustration or the need to progress beyond it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my brain feel "dense" like a physical object?
This is Dense Cognition. It occurs when your Narrative & Identity system is "thick" with unintegrated data. It feels like mental "heavy weather." We name this again to remove the "variation pressure"—you don't need a "new" way to describe it; it’s just density. Acknowledging that "my mind is dense right now" acts as a "landing." It stops you from trying to "think your way to clarity," which would only add more density to the system.
What do I do when my mind feels too "dense"?
You "Lower the Resolution." Stop trying to see the "details" of your life. Accept a "blurry" version for a while. In the Meaning Density Model™, density is a sign that you need "settlement time," not "more analysis." By accepting the density without fighting it, you allow the "particles" of your thoughts to eventually "sediment", leading to a natural, effortless clarity later on.
