Taken Down by Olive Pit (Originally Published 11/17/2022)


It’s still hard for me to wrap my arms around the fact that every little detail I experience in my life is divinely designed to lead me toward developing and living a more light-filled existence for myself; one that is driven by faith and not fear. Recently it was an olive pit that drove that point home.

           

For some odd reason, I recently swallowed a rather large olive pit. No, let me correct that. It felt like there was a “suction” pull all the way from my stomach to my mouth that pulled the olive pit directly into my esophagus. Was that TMI?

           

I take great care of my colon (the sewer system of the body) because I understand the importance of a healthy colon. All of a sudden, my mind (inspired by a new imagination skill I’ve recently been honing) went into fear overload. The amygdala section of my brain took over.

           

I researched swallowing olive pits on the web. The gamut of info ranged from an olive pit (indigestible by the way) tearing up my colon as it works its way through the digestive system to a group in the middle east who swallow olive pits intentionally, with no incidents. Looks like I could have mentally joined forces with the middle east group and just rolled with the pit but unfortunately as it worked out, fear over a lot of miscellaneous things that were going on in my world were already lining up for mental review – taking up good hard drive space. Fear of the many negative possibilities the olive pit’s gastric journey posed for me put me over the top where I simply crashed and burned. I literally shut down for 24 hours unable to move forward in any aspect of daily life over an olive pit.  Have you ever been there?

           

When crash and burn shows up for me, I know I must stop every activity (except breathing, of course) every thought, every project, every plan in the making and take stock of “losing my center.” When I’m not in balance with my truth, which was the case over that damned olive pit, faith, my purpose, joyful moments, blah, blah, becomes distorted and stuff happens. When stuff happens, I know that my mental and emotional mind-bodies have become compromised – lost their connection to Creator Source.  In my case it was the worry over having an olive pit lodged in my colon (and all the possibilities I might face, surgery, pain, constipation and so forth) that would require the skill of a surgeon’s hands to allow me to live. Sheesh! What did I do to myself?

           

I’m at a point in my current nine-year life cycle where everything is in newness (otherwise known as chaos) where things are shifting: career, assets, friends, opportunities. Mentally I know this and work through it. Emotionally, the uncertainty of it all is a driver towards either the strengthening of my faith (one of my personal strengths) or faith’s opposite – fear. I thought I was mastering fear’s nipping at my heels rather well until the olive pit came along. Apparently, my ability to cope with fear crashed and burned by the mere threat of a gastrointestinal disaster. My mind suddenly added olive pit drama to the gallery of other life challenges in the “perfect storm” my life was facing.

           

Fortunately, as a Conscious Change Coach, I recognize a crash and burn episode as a trigger to stop, regroup, and rewire to get back to center. The Universe even assisted me as my television (purveyor of fear-based information), my noise in the morning, also crashed and burned. I couldn’t believe my addiction to the morning racket. Universe was telling me to stop putting outside information, the opinions of others, into my mindset.

           

I returned to my mantra “God’s got this” and released all of my worries to an unseen force that I know is always Divinely designing the perfect life events to help me rewire my circuits towards more light-filled living. I wrote this blog nine days after my stomach vacuumed the olive pit. I’m not sure the pit has gracefully made its exit yet, but I am sure that fear has left the building and I am restored in my faith that all is well.

           

What’s taking you down?

 

AFFIRMATION: Today I live in faith, knowing that all is well.
