The Bathroom Talk
You had to
know that this was coming; the only question was when. My timing couldn’t be
better; it’s right when you need it.
You’ve seen
the title, so I’m going to make this short and sweet ---well, maybe not so
sweet—anyway, we need to have that woman to reader talk.
So, I’m going to get right to it; when
your body and mind are telling you to go to the bathroom, get up and go.
As busy
people we tend to wait it out. We hold it like a kid watching their favorite
cartoon or playing an online game that they’re winning. We don’t take a bio-break even when our joints are aching and our back
is in pain. Today I’m telling you to GET UP AND GO.
This is a wellness/transformation
blog. It’s all about becoming your best self and letting the old junk go. I
would not be a good sister if I didn’t tell you to let all of the old junk go.
When you are
in bed and you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night with the need to go
to the bathroom, don’t turn on the TV; go to the bathroom. You’ll sleep much better.
You would
never allow the water pipes in your house to get clogged and backed up. You would
never tell a kid that really had to go to just sit there.
Somewhere in that transition from
child to adult we have been led to believe that holding it is what makes you
grown.
Taking care
of your body and its needs is the sign of maturity we need to watch out for.
The better
you take care of your self—spirit, mind and body; the better you become.
That’s it. May sound
crazy but you know I’m talking to you---now go.
Be you, be well, be
better.
