Do you find yourself reaching for your device… again… despite the amazing beauty that may be surrounding you, only to escape how life actually feels? 📱
It’s not just social media—it’s any habit you use to avoid discomfort. That’s called buffering.
Buffering looks like:
✔️ Overworking to prove your worth.
✔️ Doing chores instead of tackling that scary project.
✔️ Drinking to “loosen up” at a party.
✔️ Snapping at your kids to feel some control.
It all feels better in the moment, but it doesn’t actually solve anything. And the emotions you’re avoiding? They just get louder.
Here’s the truth: sitting with the uncomfortable feelings—even for a few minutes—gives you real power. 💪🏾
Not resisting. Not escaping. Just allowing yourself to feel it. That’s how the cycle breaks.
So next time the urge hits, pause. Ask yourself:
“What am I really avoiding?”
“What’s the worst that could happen if I just felt this for a moment?”
Yeah, it won’t feel good. And that’s exactly the point. That’s where the freedom begins.
