Let it Flow...

 Soooo, on this post it may get a bit weird lol, but BARE WITH ME, I promise it will all make sense. Our bodies are some amazing works of art, both externally and internally! Did you know that our intestines are around 20 FEET LONG?! cool right?....but that leaves room for a CRAP LOAD of ....well CRAP!!! Doctors advise that a normal healthy gut should cause you to go #2 anywhere from 3 times a day, to 3 times a week. Anything less, and you may be dealing with some issues. Have you ever had a cramp or constipation due to being "backed up"? Everyone has at some point, and I am here to tell ya, that it is NOT FUN, comfortable, and it can become TOXIC! Same goes with dealing with our problems and issues externally! Ever been upset or mad about something, but you haven't been given the opportunity to deal with it, or resolve it so you just kind of leave it as a "to do" for later. Most of us have busy lives, from work, to parenting, to other unforeseen circumstances. Those issues prevent us from handling the stressors that need to be dealt with and in return "build up".....just like the crap in our colon.  In this case you're gonna be dealing with a lot more than a hurt tummy. Holding in stress can cause acne, depression, and suicidal thoughts! YIKES! Another reason people keep what ails them "inside" is so that they do not step on any toes, or offend people. As an adult I have learned that YOU are the most important person in life, and have to deal with YOURSELF day in and day out, so if someone can't respectfully handle their part of contributing to your stress, then they need to be removed from your life. My biggest problem that I have been dealing with my WHOLE LIFE, is that I have always wanted to be "liked". I am guilty of being a people pleaser, and will put other peoples happiness, above my own. I don't ever expect anything in return, but the sad reality is....I never get anything in return....not ever. It would be nice to receive what I give in return. I am still working on learning the word "no", and not caring after it is said, but for whatever reason that is hard for me. I hope I am not alone on this journey to "self worth" and "happiness" and if anyone has any suggestions, or advice I AM ALL EARS! Don't let that toxic stuff BACK YOU UP!!!
