The Importance of Getting The Crap Out.

You know that toxins, in general, are harmful to your overall health, so why would you want to have them stewing in your intestines, breeding harmful bacteria? Isn't the thought of up to 19 pounds of crap hanging out in your body a motivating factor to detox your poop out? As an FYI, when you flush out the crap, your body will digest food more effectively, helping you stay svelte.

One of the best ways to begin detoxing is to ensure that you have at least one bowel movement every day. Having a clean stomach in the morning -AKA having a bowel movement first thing in the morning—is the best way to prevent constipation and boost your digestive system. You may want to try drinking a warm glass of water as soon as you wake up to help stimulate your digestive system. As a result, you may experience more natural energy and have a more positive outlook on life.

I know my attitude is bright and shiny after a good morning poop.

How Much Poop is in Your Colon?

The average adult intestinal tract, consisting of the small and large intestines, is naturally designed to hold up to 18kg (39 lbs) of waste. However, did you know that most adults have anywhere between 2 kg (4 lbs) and 9 kg (19 lbs) of excess poop in their digestive tracts daily?

Yuck.

Backed Up.

Four to nineteen pounds of poop doesn't take long to build up, making your poop hard pebbles that are tough to eliminate. Hemorrhoids, anal fissures, stomach pain, and bloating are common among people who don't have daily bowel movements. Other dangers of regular constipation include:

Obesity
Irritability
Insomnia
Weight Gain 
Inflammation
Skin Eruptions

Support Poop Removal

Here are four main tips to support poop removal.

Drink Water.
Boost Your Vitamin and Mineral Reserves.
Exercise Daily.
Eat Healthy.

My Favorite Intestinal Formula

To end my constipation, I bought and tried several different herbs/combinations of herbs, and various colon detox programs, until one day, a friend recommended Dr. Schulze's Intestinal Formula #1 by The American Botanical Pharmacy. 

If you've been suffering and on a long, challenging, and round poop-pebbled road to end your constipation, my vote goes with American Botanical Pharmacy.

*FYI, if you choose to purchase through the American Botanical Pharmacy, please know that I am NOT an affiliate of their products; whatever you buy, I will not receive a percentage of the cost. I choose to promote their products simply because I love them and because they've helped alleviate my constipation.

You Have Zero Control.

By -
You have zero control over most of everything in life.   The one thing that's challenging for me is letting go of the need to control someone else's emotions - specifically, anger.  Why? Because on some level, I take it personally and don't often recognize that their anger isn't about me -- whatever they're angry about, I happen to be the one in their immediate space at that moment, and they use me to lash out at.  And I take it personally.  And I want it to stop right away, and I want to get the conflict over as soon as possible because I don't like conflict, which in turn then creates way more conflict and unnecessary bullshit that then turns into unresolved emotions that cause damage that never intended to be caused in the first place.  The adult thing to do would be to take a deep breath, assess my position, and back off.  But.  Sometimes, that's a hard thing to do.  The shift in my mindset comes with first seeing my flaw because, ultimately, ...

Seeing the Truth

By -
T he guy I'm dating -I'll refer to him as R—has an old phone. It is so old that it doesn't receive 90% of the texts that I or others send him.  And he seems unfazed by the entire bit of it all. He thinks we are the crazy ones for acting like the world is on fire because he hasn't received the latest update on what's happening in the local or someone's daily life drama. He basically told me so last night when I pulled into his driveway like a banshee from hell looking for a head to take off.    I got out of my car and stood there yelling up at him through his workshop window, "Hey! Are you getting any of my texts? Looking down at me, wielding a chainsaw, dressed in his crooked red, fogged-up goggles and beige overalls, he yelled back at me, "What are you CRAZY? "Why don't you just turn your car off and get in the house? " I stared at him and shook my head as he returned to chainsawing.  He met me in the basement.  He sat on the couch and t...

Sometimes, You Need to Let Your Mom Win.

By -
  Sometimes, you need to let your mom win.  What do I mean by that?  Recently, I moved back to mom's having gone through a divorce, an in-the-rears house sale, and a large financial setback.  Being fifty-two and independent for many years of my life, moving back home was something that I kicked and screamed about until the day came where someone bought my house and gave me thirty days to get out and find a new place.  Thirty days you think might be a long time, yet when you have three animals, and your finances and credit are in the tank, there really is no option but to move back home, unless choosing to live in my car was some sort of a reality - which it not at all wasn't.  So. I sucked it up, sold 90% of everything I had, and without help from movers or anyone, moved into a small room in the back of mom's house, which is where I'm currently writing from - and am beyond grateful for - yet it's taken me a bit to get to a place where I can much more easily...
