Are You a Pressure Cooker or a Refrigerator? Your Belly Already Knows
Aug 03, 2025 5:06 am
Dear ,
Let’s play a little gut-check game.
If your belly could talk, would it say:
“I’m a Pressure Cooker — tense, tight, and ready to explode…”
OR
“I’m a Refrigerator — cold, numbed out, storing emotions in leftovers of resentment, fear, and past pain…”
Sounds funny — but here’s the truth:
Your gut is not just digesting food. It’s digesting emotions.
That unspoken argument, the guilt over that extra bite, the years of “I’ll deal with it later” — they don’t vanish. They settle in your microbiome, disrupting your digestion, stealing your energy, and fogging your mind.
And when your belly becomes either a pressure cooker (leading to inflammation, pain, bloating) or a refrigerator (shutting down your metabolism, causing constipation, fatigue)…
The gut-brain axis is already in SOS mode.
Here’s the one thing to do today:
Name it. Say it aloud — “I am a _______.”
Because awareness is step one. And I’ll take you further from there.

And I’ll send you one tool to release that stuck pattern this week itself.
Let your gut be a sanctuary — not a storage room for suffering.
P.S. This isn’t just a quiz — it’s a wake-up call. Your body has been trying to speak through discomfort. Now it’s your turn to listen.
So tell me, — what are you?
With love and fierce honesty,
