I’ve made no secret of how life changing embracing our human design is in living a life more in flow with what works for you – there are so many countless benefits to embracing the nuances of who we are. I like to think of human design as a lens through which we can look through to truly understand ourselves at a deeper level. Embracing who you are and what works for you also allows you to work through and overcome creative blocks, procrastination and self-doubt.
Look Up Your Human Design
Before reading on, check out my free guide to getting started with your human design and look up your chart. This will help you get alot more personalized insights into the rest of the article.
1. Embrace the Role You’re MEANT to Play
Your ‘type’ in human design is like your aura – the vibe you bring to the world. It also showcases the particular role you’re designed to play in the greater collective to best utilize your gifts.
Each type has their own unique role they’re here to play:
- Manifestors = The great visionaries of the world, here to ideate, initiate and innovate
- Generators = The great builders of our society, methodical and systematic, they’re the ones who have the physical energy to create and build what the Manifestor envisions
- Manifesting-Generator = The magnetic multipassionate subtype of the Generator
- Projector = The deep seers, deeply perceptive and designed to lead and guide
- Reflector = The mirrors that show us how we’re really doing as a society and where we need to improve
When you embrace the role you’re meant to play you can avoid and overcome many of the creative blocks you’re facing. For example, if you’re a Projector, you’re not designed to be the labourer but more of the leader and guide – if you are in more of a labourer role and continually find yourself exhausted and uninspired, how could you tweak the way you’re approaching your work to get you more in the position of being the leader or guide?
2. Consider if you’re following your strategy
Each type in Human Design has a corresponding strategy which is how you’re meant to interact with the world and those around you. Living attuned to strategy limits resistance and enhances our flow and creativity.
The strategy for each type is:
- Manifestors = INFORM – Manifestors are designed to inform those who will be impacted by their actions before doing them. This isn’t about asking for permission, but eliminating any resistance you may face if you do not inform those around you.
- Generators + MGs = RESPOND – Generators and Manifesting Generators are designed to continually respond to life by tapping into the instant yes/ no response of their gut (sacral centre), pursuing what ‘lights them up’ and gives them that YES response.
- Projectors = WAIT FOR THE INVITATION – Since a Projector’s aura is incredibly deeply penetrating, they’re designed to wait for the invitation to share their insights and wisdom – since they can see others so clearly, this insight can be rebuked or rejected if it’s not been asked for.
- Reflectors = WAIT FOR A LUNAR CYCLE – Since a Reflector is so energetically wide open they feel quite different from day to day – that’s why they’re designed to wait for a full lunar cycle before taking massive action on things, entering a partnership, etc.
3. Focus on how you specifically learn best
Your profile in human design (made up of 2 numbers with a slash in between, which you’ll find on your chart) reflects your learning and sharing styles. When you’re continually feeling blocked, you can consider your profile to see if perhaps you’re forcing methods of learning or sharing your work with the world that are no longer aligned.
For example, let’s look at the 3/5 profile in human design. The first number of the profile here is reflecting the Line 3 learning style of diving into things headfirst to embrace the learning style of trial and error. This is the type of person who learns best through doing, and has to experience things for themselves to understand them.
If you find yourself uninspired or blocked, how can you embrace more of how you learn best to feel re-inspired?
4. Tap into your authority to make decisions
We all have our own authority in human design. Your authority informs you exactly how you are designed to make decisions based on your unique, energetic flow. This is probably the most helpful tool within our human design chart. Think of it as your personal compass to aligned decisions and work through any creative blocks that arise.
Living attuned to your authority ensures you embrace more of the opportunities that are designed for you and recognizing those that aren’t. Your authority will also help you make decisions as you navigate your way out of creative blocks.
The Different Authorities:
- Emotional Authority – designed to make major decisions from a place of emotional neutrality
- Sacral Authority – deigned to tap into the instant yes/no gut reaction of the sacral to make decisions
- Splenic Authority– designed to live attuned to your intuition in the moment to make big or small decisions
- Heart (Ego) Authority – designed to make decisions based on what you want to do
- Self Authority – designed to make decisions by talking them out with an impartial sounding board
- Mental Authority – desigend to make decisions only when in the correct environment and with the right people for you
- Lunar Authority – deisgned to wait a full lunar cycle before making a decision
