Hey there,
Ever notice how the pressure to transform your entire life hits different in January?
Maybe you've already broken a resolution or two (no judgment here), or you're feeling that familiar guilt about not having "fresh start energy" when everyone else seems to be crushing their goals.
Here's the truth your Human Design wants you to know: That resistance might actually be your energy trying to protect you.
In this week’s episode of Human Design Hive podcast, we're exploring how your unique energy can guide you toward intentions that actually stick - without forcing yourself to be someone you're not. This conversation is especially relevant if you've been:
- Feeling pressure to overhaul your life just because it's January
- Setting the same resolutions year after year with no lasting change
- Wondering why other people's goal-setting strategies never work for you
- Craving a more authentic way to grow and evolve
We dive deep into how each type can approach intentions in their own way, and here are some key insights we unpack:
💫 Your Type's Strategy is Your Secret Weapon
Your Human Design type already gives you the perfect framework for creating lasting change. Learn how to use your natural strategy (whether that's responding, waiting for recognition, or informing) to set intentions that actually work with your energy.
💫 Energy Management is Everything
Discover why traditional resolutions often fail and how to set intentions that honor your unique energy pattern. (Hint: If you're always exhausted by February, this one's especially for you!)
💫 The Joy Factor
We explore why adding more joy might be more effective than adding more discipline to your life. Plus, we share some fun, alternative intention ideas that feel good and create natural momentum.
💫 Permission to Be Different
Understanding how your type naturally creates change can free you from the pressure to do things like everyone else. Learn how to trust your unique timing and process.
Most of last year, I was feeling that familiar pressure myself. But instead of forcing myself into action, I have honored my Generator sacral response and waited. What is emerging is a much more aligned way to move forward - one that actually energizes me instead of depleting me.
This episode will help you understand why your past attempts at change might have felt so hard - and show you how to create shifts that actually feel good and last.
Have a listen and let me know:
What's the most ridiculous resolution you've ever set? (We've all been there!)
I shared my past experience of the pressure to keep up with my yoga teacher in a New Year ritual 20 years ago…yeah, not for me.
On another note, what's one area where honoring your design has already created natural, effortless change in your life?
That’s all for now!
Sending love and encouragement,
Dana
P.S. Almost forgot!
As mentioned in the episode, here’s the watercolor my incredibly talented Niece, Lakelyn, painted for Hali of our nightly dinner guest, Noche. Hali raised this cat from a teeny 2 week old rescue/abandoned kitten, and now she is almost 15!
Only her 2nd watercolor painting ever! And my husband custom made the frame, they are quite the talented duo!
Okay, THAT’S all for now!
