Trying can keep the habit centre stage.
When you’re trying to stop, you’re still in relationship with the pattern — monitoring it, fighting it, bracing for it, negotiating with it.
And resistance often gives the brain more to grip.
More focus. More tension. More charge.
That’s why so many people feel strong… until they don’t.
Because effort isn’t the same as freedom.
Freedom is when the pull simply isn’t there in the same way.
