Force Quit
When a specific thought, worry, or emotion keeps looping, you intentionally stop feeding it.
Ben Affleck and the Mental Conditioning Disaster
Force Quit is the act of intentionally stopping a looping thought or worry. The mental conditioning program was essentially teaching players to use Force Quit on negative thoughts — but the approach made the loop worse, not better. Jason Kelce and the Eagles players discovered that trying to Force Quit through sheer suppression doesn't work; it amplifies the loop. The lesson is that Force Quit requires a replacement pattern, not just a command to stop.
