- Society & Culture
What is it that allows some guys to achieve their goals and perform optimally while others keep falling short of their aspirations? Today we talk again about buffering and how it prevents you from becoming the man you want to be. We are all inclined to buffer but we do it in different ways – some of which you may not even be consciously aware of. While you don’t have to stop buffering to improve, you will not be able to achieve your alpha state without removing the barrier of buffering.
In this episode, I walk you through the program that the beta system is built on and that keeps men trapped in their primordial, survival-oriented mode of existence. The system is called the motivational triad, and while it was meant to keep the body alive, it now perpetuates the beta condition in the 21st century when we no longer need to be running away from wild animals.
The thee corners of the motivation triad are seeking pleasure, avoiding pain, and efficiency. When something in the environment elicits pleasure or pain, it signals to the brain to either repeat or avoid the activity. If we didn’t have those triggers, we wouldn’t have sex or eat food, which would cause our species to become extinct. And this is where buffering comes in: certain activities trigger your pleasure center and make you repeat the behavior, and this is detrimental to your journey of becoming an irresistible man of confidence.
The good news is that we can leverage the motivational triad to reprogram our brains. By flipping the motivational triad on its head, you can rewire your brain and regain control over your thoughts and behaviors, becoming the alpha male you know you can be.
