Three Exits from the Loop

Metaphorical Narrative

The mistake replays like a broken record.
You pace inside the same four walls, feeling there’s no way out.
But then — three hidden exits appear, lit faintly in the corners.
The record loses its grip.

Core Insight

Shame loops convince the mind of permanence.
A simple bypass cuts through: pause and name “I have 3 options.”
This forces the brain to branch into new pathways, loosening the grip of the loop.
Proof: exits exist even when the record says otherwise.

Saturday Experiment

Next time shame replays, stop and write down three possible moves — any size.
Watch how the loop weakens once options appear.

Sunday Reflection

What proof did the person find that exits existed?
How did naming 3 options break the record?
