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,
