Let’s talk about New Year Resolutions, 2023
A few months ago, I was talking to a friend about routines and habits. With the new year coming up, she was curious how to make sure in 2023 she stuck to her plans.
I told her that in order to keep up with daily workouts I had to create a no-fail, don't think about it, system in order to be “consistent”.
You see, we all operate differently. For some of us, making plans, writing down our schedule and having routines works better. For others, that would feeeeel really uncomfortable, constricting and rigid.
This might be the same for you! So how do we find out? First, I'd want to look at your Design Variables, in particular your Human Design digestion, AKA the top left arrow on your chart. This tells you whether or not it will help you to have a planned routine you stick to.
It has more to do with what your brain needs to think optimally.
For people like me, with a Left-facing digestion arrow (active digestion), I want to focus and routines work well for me. My brain is active so the less I have to think about the better.
For example, when it comes to my morning workout, here's what I have to do to stay consistent:
Every night I lay out my gym clothes in the order I'd put them on, complete with my socks and shoes. I don't have to think about it, I just slip out of my PJs and into my Gym clothes. Whether I'm going to the gym or my Peloton - I just get up and do it. No time to talk myself out of it or make excuses.
When I pulled my friend's chart to have a closer look, it turns out that the reason she was not “sticking” with things was because in her design she works best if she doesn't have a routine. Her arrows faced right, so having more fludity in her life works better. PLUS! She has Gate 5 in her chart - which means she's incredibly tied to her own personal timing. It's very important for people like her to honor their own rituals and times their body likes to do things, or else they will feel ungrounded, off, and unproductive.
Lastly, I also wanted to look at her Type, she's a generator which means she's built for long-lasting and powerful energy, whether it's work, projects, experiences, people. It's builder energy, she has the ability to dig deep and create some awesome shit if given enough time.…
When we can accept that this is how we're built, we can work with it – and when we can work with it, that's when the magic happens.
This is just one small part of that, too.If you want to find out about alllllll the goodies in your chart, come get a 1:1 Human Design reading with me!
We'll cover all this PLUS:
Your unique talents, gifts + abilities and how to use them
How you, specifically, are built to manifest
Your soul's purpose here on earth, in work + life
Answers to all your specific questions (in real time)
Till then my friend, keep rockin your passion + purposes,
Brandi, xx
