The Executive Throne

Ego fights for the throne. But EF sits calmly, deciding with facts.

Executive Function Identity

Metaphorical Narrative

In the palace of the mind, the Ego storms the throne, shouting demands. Fear and shame cheer it on.

But then EF enters. Quiet, steady. It doesn’t fight — it simply sits down. Facts in one hand, decisions in the other. The throne is filled.

Core Insight

Executive Function isn’t loud. It’s grounded. Ego survives by noise, EF by calm facts. Liberation is noticing when Ego is playacting king — and letting EF sit instead.

Saturday Experiment

  1. When torn by noise, whisper: “EF sits.”
  2. Write the facts plainly.
  3. Decide from them alone.

Sunday Reflection

  • What throne-fights happened today?
  • Did EF sit when invited?
  • How did calm decision-making feel?
