So it's less about being confused or I'm not sure what I'm doing. That's that acute stress response you're living in the moment. Yeah. But it's almost like, it's that meh feeling. And that is what a lot of people are feeling.

It's that feeling of not really being excited or the opposite of that is being really angry or frustrated about, oh, I want this for my future, but I'm not able to achieve it. These are all healthy emotions because there's a charge to it, right? Whether it be a positive charge or a negative charge. But horizonlessness is almost a lack of emotion.

It's kind of just like, whatever, I'm not really working towards anything because there's really nothing worth working towards.

That's exactly right. So biologically, you have been living in amygdala mode and you are thinking purely about survival and self-preservation in the immediate, in the now. The prefrontal cortex lights up that part of the brain that we were talking about earlier. Anticipation, forward thinking, strategic planning, the prefrontal cortex is what governs that.

So when you have that sense of anticipating the future... In studies, the brain scans have shown that your median prefrontal cortex lights up because you're starting to think about a future. You know, forward momentum is what has created the human species and has really propelled the human species forward, right? Like this forward momentum is an incredibly important part of evolution.

And so when you don't feel that sense of forward momentum in your life... You use words like feeling stuck.

So this thing, clinically speaking, it's called the delayed stress response.
