Because I’m a Generator I’m still far from lazy - I’m just putting my energy towards things I care about and noticing that I don’t get burnt out when I’m doing the “right” things. Even if that feels “selfish” or maybe even “irresponsible” as most of us were taught to see it. The biggest shift has been releasing the constant busy work and pressure to create something new I’ve allowed myself to simply live my life and do the things I feel called to do. The idea with Human Design is when you’re living in alignment with your type and strategy and everything else in your chart, that things will just flow. But when there’s an energetic pull for me to follow - something to respond to - it goes much better.Īround December I decided to experiment with this concept and let myself off the hook of “always doing” and instead find a more go-with-the-flow approach, keeping an eye out for things to respond to, not creating things out of nothing, and not doing things just because I thought I “should.” And I have to tell you, it’s been pretty magical. Looking back I’ve seen evidence of this many times in my business: anytime I try to just create something out of thin air (usually because I think I should or feel pressure to do so), it falls flat. Yes, I have to TRUST, literally one of my biggest challenges of this lifetime. This is hard, because the Generator in me always wants to be doing, but I have to learn to sit tight and trust that the right ideas and opportunities will present themselves. Whether that’s a specific request, an intuitive pull, or something being presented to me and literally asking for my response. As a Manifesting Generator my strategy is “to respond,” which means that I’m not really meant to start things from nothing but I need to wait for something to respond to. The other most important component is your strategy, this is how you are meant to approach and navigate life. Even those with sustainable energy (Generators and Manifesting Generators) can burn out or become sick if they focus their energy in the wrong place, aka something they don’t really care about. This can help explain why so many people are burnt out, or are labeled “lazy” when they can’t seem to keep up it could literally make them sick if they tried.

Only two types do, the other 3 are not meant for the 9-5, go-go-go grind culture we live in. In HD there are 5 main “types” and one of the things I find most important about your type is whether or not you have sustainable energy. Human Design can help you realize that you are a fish, and give you permission to stop trying to climb the damn tree. But if you judge a fish by it’s ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Because we’re all different, and we’re all meant to operate a little differently in this world to find our flow. It’s a powerful tool that can help you lean more into the ways you are naturally meant to be, and let you off the hook of trying to be the ways that you just naturally aren’t. In short, it’s like a “new astrology” and, like astrology, it tells you about yourself.

You see, I’ve gotten really interested in this thing called Human Design. It started around the time I moved into my new place. Something pretty incredible has been happening with me lately.
