Social media hook:
Stop Believing
Challenge myth
Stop believing creates challenge
"Stop believing" works because it challenges myths. People think: "They're saying what I believe is wrong. I want to see their argument." It's challenge wrapped in command.
Plus, stop creates urgency. When you say "Stop believing [common myth] if you want [result]," you're creating immediate challenge. People respond to stop commands. They click because stop believing feels urgent—even when the challenge is minor.
Stop believing is just challenge with better command
It works because it hits three triggers: command, challenge, and urgency. The stop creates command. The believing creates challenge. The if you want creates urgency. People see "Stop believing [common myth] if you want [result]" and think: "They're telling me to stop believing. I want to see why." They click because stop believing feels urgent—even when the challenge is just marketing. It's not about being clever—it's about making challenges feel immediate.
