Imagine being able to feel activated… without losing yourself.
We’re so used to getting swept away by our triggers—tightening, shrinking, speeding up, bracing, leaving our bodies.
But there is another pathway. A softer one. A wiser one.
A pathway where you feel the activation rising…
and instead of abandoning yourself, you breathe with it.
You stay.
You witness.
You choose.
This is the “inhibition muscle” — not willpower, not force, not self-control in the old harsh sense — but the embodied capacity to remain with yourself long enough for alchemy to happen.
It’s the skill that lets you pause instead of spiral.
Hold instead of collapse.
Transmute instead of repeat.
And the more you build it, the freer you become.
Have you ever experienced this?
Do you know the difference between willpower and this muscle of inhibition?
How is this landing with you? I’d really love to know. Let me know in the comments!
