A Common Cause of Procrastination, Overeating, Overworking and Over Drinking

When we don’t want to experience a feeling we distract ourselves.

I call it buffering.

It results in procrastination.

And overeating.

And overworking.

And over drinking.

And over Facebooking.

The result for us is that we waste time and energy avoiding a feeling that we are going to experience anyway.

What do you do when you do to distract yourself from experiencing feelings?

The alternative is to process your emotions. I can teach you how to do that. The first step is to start noticing.
