46: What is buffering? Why do you buffer? And How to Stop!

What does buffering mean to you?

There are a few ways that we can define it. When it comes to moving furniture, buffering protects two surfaces that are rubbing up against each other. When two people don’t get along, they might need someone to be a buffer between them. When you’re waiting for something to download on your computer and you see the little spinning wheel on your screen, it’s buffering to check that it’s safe to proceed.  

We use buffers in our lives as ways to avoid negative experiences and emotions, but they are usually problematic in the long run. They are just ways of escaping instead of taking action. 

This episode is about what buffers really are and how we can stop relying on them. If you eliminate the buffers in your life, you are going to have more time and be more productive. Who doesn’t want that? 

In Today’s Episode We Discuss: 

• What buffering is 
• Why buffers make us feel good
• How buffers can create problems 
• Examples of buffering 
• The negative consequences of relying on buffers 
• Things you can do to stop buffering 
• How to overcome cravings for the buffer that you were using 

I want you to answer the questions that I ask at the end of the episode. They will show you what you need to do to change your life for the better. 

Stop buffering and go create the life you want.
