The Perfect Story That Never Lands

Metaphorical Narrative

You open the app and hover over “post.”
The draft looks perfect — polished, clever, filtered.
But it never feels enough. The finger hesitates, then retreats.
A cage of glass: shiny, but trapping you from real movement.

Core Insight

This is the performance identity vs. daily creation clash.
The brain mistakes appearance for action.

EF Move breaks the loop: pick a small, embodied act instead.

Send a message, sketch a note, step outside.
That move biases striatal circuits toward identity-aligned creation, not endless polishing.

Saturday Experiment

Before posting, ask: “What real act could I do right now instead?”
Do it. Skip the polished story if needed.
Notice how the body feels different when energy exits the glass cage.

Sunday Reflection

Did the person notice the difference between posting perfection and acting in reality?
What proof showed that small creation outweighed performance?
