Hello Andrew,
You are totally being "Mr. Real". Heck ya', it's challenging to stay "positive" AND staying positive all the time just doesn't happen for anyone ALL of the time. We all visit our less than positive thoughts but the important thing is to not to stay in "that world" longer than necessary.
Yeah, it can certainly feel sucky to have IBS. AND, what gifts does having IBS bring to your life? For me the gifts are: compassion, eating more healthfully than ever before, self-love, understanding, patience, wisdom and tenderness. Spend time everyday here in the "gifts" place. Of course by doing so won't make your IBS disappear but there's something about how you "meet this experience" that puts you in a place of choice of who you want to "be" when you show up in the many roles you have in your life.
I tell ya' what...because of my IBS I "show up" as a human being that holds qualities I may not have ever known if I hadn't had IBS. If you get a chance, I posted something else today in the "Living Room" that may prove helpful.
You will allow IBS to keep you from being a productive father or even an unproductive employee at the workplace if you make that choice internally. Try this perspective..IBS can set you free into dimensions of yourself you never even dreamed you possessed. Choose to learn from your IBS experience and use those learnings to empower you!
Keeping it real,
Alicia
