#232 Turning a "Poop Box" from a Weapon into a Tool

from Finding Joy in the Journey

My Whitewater Rafting Adventure (and the Poop Box)I share a story from a five-day, four-night whitewater rafting trip from Moab to Lake Powell where I had to tent camp and learn to use the “poop box” system because the company has to pack out waste in the desert.As the trip got closer, I got increasingly nervous about sleeping in a tent and the bathroom logistics, so I coached myself with travel affirmations and did a breathwork session that helped shift my nervous system from fear to excitement.On the river, I realized the poop box wasn’t fresh each time???!!!!and the smell and mental disgust made it hard to go at first, but I found a way to cope using Cottonelle wipes and reframed the poop box from a weapon into a tool.The trip was mostly wonderful, and I invite listeners to identify their own “poop boxes” and the miracle of new perspectives!
