And one big reframe I want people to think about is that one, this is just your body.
There's nothing to be ashamed about.
And you are actually doing yourself a favor by responding to the call of nature when it comes.
Because the call of nature is simply this.
It is simply your colon contracting strongly.
If you ignore that...
And you say, you know what?
This is horrible.
I'm just about to get to work.
I don't want to deal with this.
I'm going to go later tonight.
Well, guess what?
At 8 p.m., your colon's not contracting.
It's not doing the work for you.
So even though, yeah, you think the timing, the atmosphere is right, suddenly you are faced with having to do all the work yourself, meaning you have to generate an even stronger valsalva maneuver to bear down.
We all know what that's like, where you're straining because your colon's just not playing ball.
And then second...
The longer that poop sits in your colon waiting to be expelled, your colon is going to do its other big important job to just continually suck water out of it.
So 12 hours later, you're not going to return to the same poop you would have had at 8 a.m.
At 8 p.m., it's going to be drier, harder, more pebbly, and that's going to be way more difficult to get out than if you had just gone in the first place.
