One thing I love about Human Design and Astrology is that it gives me permission to embrace things that I recognize about myself but have often fought against or thought I need to fix.

Instead of saying, how can I fix this tendency, I can shift to how I can embrace and work with this part of me.

​Last month, I decided to tackle the Garbage Post challenge – and the core of the challenge is to post 100 posts in 30 days. Now I’ve tried this challenge a few times prior, years ago, but never got too far with it.
​
And this time, well, I only made it to about 50 posts – which is actually a big win for me. Because more important than the number of posts is that I stuck it out for the full 30 days instead of deciding, well I’m way behind and I will just give up – which was what I did before.

And a big part of that is when I started seeing how behind – instead of seeing it through the lens of “ugh, why can’t I do this” I saw it through the lens of “oh, this makes sense, I need to build up to 100 posts”.

I’m a Human Design Generator and Taurus – Sun, Moon, and Mercury and it rules my 6th house, which represents routines. A core part of how Generators and Taurus operate is to move slower, to build things, to not be rushed, to keep going. So, it makes sense that when building a new routine that I’m not going to just start from 0 to 100 😉

So as soon as I made that connection, I committed to doing a second round starting later this month.
​
Having this self-knowledge has really helped me when approaching and implementing new routines or strategies.
​
For example, when I was working on weaving Pilates back into my exercise routine – having this knowledge meant buying the 10-pack instead of immediately signing up for the once-a-week monthly commitment, because it gave me more flexibility to slowly incorporate the classes into my routine instead of the pressure of not using the classes I’m paying for in a set amount of time – which is why I gave up the last time I tried it because I felt stressed out and guilty.
​

It’s still correct for me to commit to the full challenge or make a larger routine goal– because that gives me a direction, a target but it’s important for me to acknowledge I'm more designed to work my way there at a slower progress rate than diving all the way in.

Having this self-knowledge allowed me in the instance of the challenge to reframe and realign - instead of giving up and with my new exercise routine, to choose the structure that felt supportive instead of stressful.

This is just a small example of how I use the clues gained through these tools to help me better align how I move through my life and business.
