Creating space for the YES moments

The world is SUCH a noisy place - and for some of us, that can be more stimulating / overwhelming than it can for others. This can feel incredibly draining and paralysing at times, especially when you’ve reached your limit.

Learning about Human Design has allowed me to make incremental shifts over time that bring more alignment into my life - more ease, less struggle.

There’s a lot our design can tell us, but I love to refer to the simple and golden rule - Strategy and Authority is key. It is the tool we use for sifting through all the noise and coming into energetic alignment.

I have times in my own work and business where I can land on the edge of burnout and this is absolutely a red flag as a Generator that I am not responding correctly. Usually I have been saying yes to too many things and often it means I have been pushing where I needed to wait to respond.

In ‘plain English’ terms - following my joy, what lights me up and fills up my battery is KEY for avoiding burnout and also wasting time on things that aren’t important in my work. Learning to say YES to what feels spacious and expansive and NO to what doesn’t is vital - however I (like many Generators) don’t always find this easy.

We’re in a world where we’re told to push and hustle - and in my energy type (Sacral Generator), I am here to respond. Responding correctly to the things that come by me, to the ideas that come, to the little ‘aha pings’ and how I show up every day can make a HUGE difference to my health and overall wellbeing.

There’s a lot of deconditioning I have had to do, limiting beliefs to work through and fears to overcome. But the thing is, as generators, we are genuinely magnetic when we are in alignment.

We sparkle and generate energy for ourselves and everyone else around us when we are in alignment, doing our thing.

I feel like if you struggle to say yes or no to things because you have a good dose of people pleasing in your personality (most of us do!) then remembering that when YOU come into alignment, you automatically shift alignment for everyone else.

The things you are generating energy for have a ripple effect on others. And when you are lit up and in the flow of what you are good at, this has a positive impact on others. They will feel more drawn to you, energised and excited.

In the age of instant gratification and validation, this can intensify our impatience to have something right now, have the answer right now or take action RIGHT NOW. That may be correct sometimes, but other times you may have to wait.

Learning to dance with the energy and feelings during this time is part of it. It’s in that waiting for the right thing to respond to or things to become clear that the magic lies.

It’s when your awareness for the connection you have kicks in - is it a YES right now? Or is it a NO?

I liken it to being single and just saying YES to the first person you date - not because you’re in love with them, but because you’re afraid there won’t be another opportunity. Learning to connect with your sacral response and that deep YES or resonant NO is important because without that, you can forever be taking on things that don’t align out of FOMO.

You also can’t ‘plan’ your response - it happens when it happens, the opportunities happen when they happen. A lot of this is the antithesis of what we are currently taught in our modern society - that you can force, workshop or make your success. Surrender, ironically, is the road here.

I like to think of it as we are in a chick flick, produced by the Universe. You’re the main character - are you going to force your own meet-cute OR are you going to wait and see how the script unfolds? What you think of as being the best version of something may only be a 10th of what the Universe has to bring you.

The thing is, by allowing and not forcing, we make space for the good things to land, to grow and to manifest. It is the expansive inhale breath - allowing, not forcing, the right things to come into our life and work.

Whether you’re aware of your Human Design or not, I feel like we can all benefit from creating space for the things that feel really good for us - for allowing time (however it moves for you) to let things grow, evolve and transform. When we have space, we are able to find more clarity, ease and flow.

A lot of the times the things we are chasing (more money, more time, more joy) are waiting on the other side of surrender - surrender to the process, to the flow.

This is when we stop blocking and begin allowing. It’s an act of trust in both our own abilities, and in the Universal energy.

The action to take from this post is to simply allow - to sit with and see what is bubbling up for you. What feels good, what doesn’t? If you’re a Generator, what is a YES and what is a NO?

Journal it out, in a safe space where you can be 100% honest. You don’t need to take action on this right now if you don’t want to, but by doing this you allow yourself space for tuning into what actually feels good to you, and what doesn’t - which creates connection to your awareness and intuition.
