Nothing to build, something to stop obscuring instead. (What’s underneath the managing.)

“I’ in the Point Model (See ‘The Point of Now’, my book, for more details)

You know the part of you that’s already three steps ahead - holding tomorrow’s problem today, pre-solving the thing that hasn’t happened, “helping” by carrying it all early. Most advice adds to that part: a better system, strategy, or one more thing to ‘manage the managing’ with.

There’s another part of you that doesn’t do any of that. It’s not loudly impressive, or visible, and it doesn’t plan or prepare. It’s just there, quietly, underneath all the holding - and it never needs fixing. It’s the thing getting buried under everything trying to fix and manage life.

I see this often, the most capable people, the ones everyone relies on, have usually spent the longest time adding effort on top of something that was already whole. Relief isn’t in becoming more resourced, it’s the opposite, it’s in noticing they already are, and stopping whatever is obscuring that. 

There’s a thread in philosophy and physics that points at this - some argue that the quiet, unseen part of anything is what reality emerges from, while the busy, visible part is what we see on the surface. It’s the hidden foundation under the visible tip of the iceberg. I came to see this through lived experience first. Some science and philosophy also pointed to it afterwards, when I got really curious.

So if you’re the one everyone relies on, the one always slightly ahead of the moment - the invitation isn’t to manage that better. It’s to notice what’s underneath it and let that lead or guide instead more often. 

I call it inner innate intelligence in my model, The Point - it’s the I in a five-part way of seeing what’s really driving how we experience pressure. My book, The Point of Now goes into it in more detail, but we all have access to this intelligence in the moment, if we’re quiet enough to notice. 

If this lands and you’d like to explore how seeing this helps relieve life’s pressure, and helps us to be most resourced and open to new possibilities  - message me directly. Or you can read more about The Point model in my book, The Point of Now, available on Amazon.
