My favorite self-knowledgement system

When I was feeling lost, I felt groundless 👩🏻‍🚀. I didn’t know how to anchor myself; and the more that time went on, the more confused I became.

💡 And then I found Human Design, a self-knowledgement system that’s a little like astrology-meets-Myers-Briggs.

If you’re like me and you love learning more about yourself through things like:

- StrengthsFinder
- The Enneagram
- Astrology
- Myers Briggs
- PI
- DISC

then I can pretty much guarantee you’ll find a ton of value, insight, and clarity by learning your Human Design.

Human Design helps you:

💛 Understand the most optimal way to use your energy
💛 Sets you up to make aligned decisions
💛 Gives you insight into your personality
💛 Tells you how you’re meant to make things happen in the world

For example, I’m a 5/2 Sacral Generator, which means I’m designed to:

⚡️ Be a natural doer and creative powerhouse, bringing ideas and inspiration to life
💡 Trust my gut in the moment + say yes/no accordingly
😍 Prioritize and focus on what I enjoy
🙂 Feel satisfied when I’m aligned (and frustrated when I’m not)
💗 Be intrinsically gifted and inspire others to be their most authentic selves

What I discovered by learning my Human Design is that I had spent 30+ years living *out of alignment* with my design. 🥴

👎🏼 I suppressed my gut knowing, often rationalizing my way to the decision I thought I “should” make
👎🏼 Spent many, many years frustrated and stuck
👎🏼 I said yes to things I didn’t want to do, jobs I didn’t like, opportunities I didn’t care about, etc. out of obligation or a desire to please (Big People Pleaser Energy over here! 🙋🏻‍♀️)
👎🏼 I committed my energy in ways that were depleting and prioritized everyone else’s satisfaction above my own
👎🏼 I got lost in my mind rationalizing decisions
👎🏼 I obsessed about the future and ignored my gut because I couldn’t see the next step
👎🏼 I looked to others to tell me what to do rather than trusting my inner wisdom

…just to name a few.

Having this new profound understanding of myself has shown me that I had taken on a ton of conditioning and forced myself to be a certain way... to go against myself.

No wonder I burned out.

No wonder I felt stuck.

No wonder I was so lost.

It's wild to think about who I could be and what I could do when I live and align with my design instead 🤯

That's what this next part of life is about for me.

*Unlearning* as I continue to move through my journey of replenishment, self-discovery, personal evolution, and authenticity.
