We all have something we’re trying to stop—an unhealthy pattern, a habit gone too far, or a thought that won’t let go. Most of the time, we tell ourselves, “Don’t.” But no matter how strong our willpower is, the “don’t” cycle rarely works for long. It keeps us stuck, exhausted, and ashamed when we can’t hold it together.

In Part 2 of How to Stop What’s Stopping You, Forrest talks about what to do when willpower runs out. There’s a better way to move forward: surrender. When you reach the end of “don’t,” and finally whisper “help,” that’s where freedom begins.
