Human’s want to feel good all the time. We like dopamine. So, when we are faced with a negative emotion our instinct is to get away from it and one way we do this is by buffering.
Buffering is when we use something outside of us to decrease the negative emotion we are feeling inside. But this isn't really a good idea because when we buffer we use a false pleasure to distract us from our negative emotion. But that negative emotion doesn't really go away. We just become less aware of it for a time. Once the false pleasure from the buffer wears off, we often feel more negative than we did before.
On this episode I teach you:
- why you may be buffering.
- common buffers (some may surprise you).
- how to choose real pleasure over false pleasure.
- and why you want to stop buffering.
