![I've had brain constipation for so long that it felt like a relief even to get two days of journaling done.
Any unprocessed shitty thoughts I have lead to a lot of negative emotions. (Thoughts like, "Why am I being so lazy? I should be writing more. I should be doing [fill in the blank] less.")
And recently, I've been avoiding dealing with my negative emotions in the classic ways: eating junk food, playing video games, scrolling Instagram... you know, the norm.
But I realized I gave my mom advice recently that I wasn't taking myself...
Shitty thoughts are like.. well.. shit. You've got to get it out, or you'll get backed up. 💩💩
Our bodies (typically) have a way to process food to take the nutrients we need and eliminate the waste. Too bad evolution didn't give us the process to eliminate crap thoughts regularly as our bowels do.
So, not to sound gross, but after journaling and starting to deal with the crappy "should" thoughts, it reminded me of finally being able to use the bathroom after being constipated.
This post may be a bit crass, but hey, sometimes super overwhelming topics like "dealing with negative self-talk" can feel a bit easier if they get used in an everyday analogy. 🤷♀️](https://monicafrederick.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
