Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated to
0:05
helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to
0:09
flow without sacrificing results.
0:11
Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business
0:15
according to your human design. I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:22
Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
0:25
I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and we're here today to talk about misalignment,
0:31
being out of alignment with our design.
0:35
This came up because we just wrapped my Authority Accelerator Masterclass.
0:39
It was really wonderful. I got to talk with so many people in this community.
0:44
I'm going to say 90 percent of the people are podcast listeners.
0:47
They either found us through the podcast or they've been listening
0:50
to the podcast for a while after they found us another way.
0:53
And it was great getting to hear what everybody experiences.
0:59
What are they gravitating toward? Where are they right now?
1:03
So I did a lot of clarity calls.
1:06
We were chatting in the group. I was in the DMs with a lot of people.
1:09
And whenever I'm interacting with people, obviously I'm in response.
1:12
So I know the things that I'm lit up by, right?
1:14
I know what conversations I'm like, ooh, I want to talk about this more.
1:19
And this is one of them. And this isn't calling anybody out.
1:23
Honestly, I'm only ever calling you up.
1:26
That is all I am ever doing.
1:28
I am never calling out for the sake of calling out.
1:32
I am always calling you up. Every person who's listening to this show, every person in my programs, every person
1:40
in my masterclasses, if I say something that provokes you a bit, it is to
1:46
provoke you to a higher level of spirit.
1:50
So I want to say that here because I am going to Be calling out some
1:55
things that people have said, but in the hopes that it calls you up.
2:01
Which is very much in the spirit of human design.
2:04
Ra, who is the founder of human design, the transmitter of human design.
2:09
He was really only calling people out.
2:12
He spoke very much to the shadows. He spoke very much to what you're doing wrong.
2:18
And he was a 5/1 as well. I think we do tend to look and say, no, that's not the way, this is the way.
2:23
It's always with the direction and the heart of saying, I'm pointing this
2:29
out so that you can see the way to get out of whatever it is that you're
2:34
saying you don't want to be in anymore.
2:37
So, the thing that I'm calling you up with, if you fall into this
2:41
category, I heard so many people over the last couple of weeks saying
2:46
that they know their human design.
2:50
Some people were even saying that they were building their
2:52
businesses around human design. I want to teach human design.
2:55
I want to teach people how to run their business by design, do
2:58
something similar to what I do. And the truth is that there's a very clear reason why that
3:04
wasn't working for those people. And even the people who didn't want to work with it.
3:08
I know my human design. I know all of that.
3:10
I know all of this information. There were some very clear signs to me that they didn't know their
3:16
design or they didn't know it enough.
3:19
That they weren't embodied in their design.
3:23
And that is so much more important than knowing your design.
3:28
I honestly don't care what you know, if it's not embodied,
3:32
you're missing the point. So I'm going to share these three signs that you are not
3:38
in alignment with your design. And it's not to just be like, here's what you're doing wrong
3:41
and I'm going to run away. These are three signs that you can use to help give you pause and
3:47
say, I should really look at this.
3:50
This is not natural for me.
3:53
What if you came about the way that you looked at your life, and the
3:56
way you looked at design as saying everything should be easy, everything
4:01
should be good, everything should flow.
4:04
That's my natural state and anything that is not that, something is wrong
4:10
and needs to be shifted or adjusted. And that's an internal shift that will make the external changes we want to make.
4:18
We want to change our life, we want to change our business, we want to change
4:22
our financial situation, there are some internal shifts that need to happen.
4:29
Not necessarily that I change my internal shifts and money falls from the sky.
4:33
I mean, it might happen. I absolutely attract abundance.
4:36
There are times where I'm in attraction energy and when I'm not.
4:39
And I know how to shift from that. But more importantly, if I make an internal shift that allows me to take
4:47
action that help create external shifts as well, I get to co create with the
4:52
universe because I get to show up.
4:55
Where we get stuck is when we go to do something and we cannot.
4:59
We know what we need to do and we can't do it. Or we take action and then we stop.
5:05
So, I'm actually going to start going into this, but I promised you
5:08
a three things list, so I'm going to break it down that way for you.
5:12
I don't want this to feel like a bait and switch, but I'm going
5:14
to give you the three signs that you're not living in design.
5:16
These three signposts that when they come up, those are your triggers
5:20
to say, I'm out of alignment.
5:22
Let me adjust. Let me take a quick pulse of what I've been doing and how I've been living.
5:29
The first one is that you're overthinking things.
5:32
You're stopping and you're starting all the time.
5:35
I'm doing this thing, and then I get an idea, and then you get shiny object
5:39
syndrome, and you're moving away. So this can be overthinking, or this can be jumping from one thing to the next.
5:46
Now, a lot of manifesting generators think that this is an alignment for them.
5:49
I'm multi passionate, I should be moving in different directions, I
5:52
should have all these things going on. Yeah, you're going to be multi passionate.
5:58
You're probably going to have a lot of interests.
6:00
There's probably going to be the intersection of a lot
6:02
of the things that you do. But if you are scattered, or if you are overthinking where you're thinking
6:09
through something, and you're trying to figure out what your next step is.
6:14
You go and you take some action, and then you shift to the next thing because you
6:18
think that will get you what you want. That is an assortment of conditioning.
6:24
It could be an open head center that is overactive and trying to consume
6:28
more information and thinks that the next answer is someplace else.
6:31
I'm done with this. I move on to the next thing. What can I consume?
6:34
What can I do? What can I take in?
6:37
What other thing can I do? I'm bored. Open hand center gets bored.
6:41
Open mind gets bored. It could be your ego.
6:44
This'll get me what I want. If I do this, that'll prove that I'm good enough.
6:48
If I do this, then these people will look at me like I am a
6:51
real authority or influencer.
6:54
There can be all of these ways that we get pulled in that direction.
6:58
And the chart shows you what you're most likely to be pulled by.
7:02
It shows you what to be on the lookout for.
7:06
I have an open head. I have trained myself to watch for open head stuff.
7:12
My open head is going to want to do X, Y, and Z.
7:15
So I'm going to watch out for X, Y, and Z.
7:18
And I'm going to make sure that my actions aren't coming from those places.
7:21
I have an open root. My open root is going to want to strike things off of an
7:27
imaginary list to feel better.
7:29
I'll feel better once this is done. I'll feel better once this is done.
7:32
But nothing's actually done. That list just keeps growing.
7:37
I know these patterns. So, if you are stopping and starting all the time where you're getting,
7:44
you're in your head most likely.
7:47
You are in your head and your head is not here to make decisions.
7:50
We don't make decisions from the mind. That is the fundamental difference between human design and most things.
7:58
We're not meant to think. We're meant to feel.
8:02
You're meant to put the power back into your body.
8:05
Or in the rare cases where you are a mental projector, you are a reflector,
8:11
you have an environmental type of authority where you're waiting and you're
8:15
checking for feedback in your system.
8:18
Where you're using sounding board techniques.
8:21
You're still not thinking about it, you are still feeling into how you
8:26
feel about the thing that you're doing. So if you're overthinking things, that is a clear sign
8:31
that you are not in alignment.
8:34
You can stop yourself very quickly and say, this isn't how I make decisions.
8:38
This isn't how I drive action. It isn't by, I think I'll do this.
8:41
I think I'll do that. If you find yourself saying that, I think it could be this, or I
8:45
wish I could just figure this out. Or if I could only just know this, it's okay to be curious about things and be
8:53
putting pieces together in your mind, but that's not what drives your actions.
8:59
It doesn't tell you to start and it doesn't tell you to stop.
9:02
Other parts of your body, depending on your design, tell
9:05
you where to stop, where to start.
9:09
How do you get invited into things?
9:11
How do you open that door? Alignment is being able to be still in that, and wait.
9:18
And not feel like the next thing has to be right around the corner, that
9:24
you have to be in perpetual motion. That feeling of anxiousness is not alignment.
9:32
The second sign that you are out of alignment is you're
9:35
in your not self theme. Every type gets one.
9:39
And honestly, you can even broaden this to just say, if life feels hard,
9:44
if you feel like you've been cycling through patterns, that you have been in
9:47
personal development work forever and you haven't really seen traction or change,
9:54
then you're not following your design.
9:57
You're not in alignment. Things would start to feel at least somewhat easier and start to make
10:05
some sense, at least energetically.
10:08
There might be things where it's I am not seeing the results, but I feel really good.
10:14
I feel like I'm moving in the right direction.
10:16
I've had that tons of times where I'm like, I'm not there yet, but I trust
10:21
so deeply and I feel so guided that the moves don't need to make sense.
10:27
In fact, if they do, that's probably more my mind.
10:31
I follow what feels right. Life feels easy.
10:36
It doesn't have to make sense for me, because I'm not following my mind.
10:42
So if you're in your not self theme, which if you're a generator or
10:46
manifesting generator, it's frustration.
10:49
Mani gens you also get the added one of frustration or anger.
10:53
Manifestors, anger. Projectors, bitterness, which can feel like I'm feeling invisible,
11:00
I feel like nobody sees me, I feel like nobody appreciates me, I'm
11:05
alone all the time, I'm not being recognized, that's your theme.
11:09
And then reflectors, you have that theme of disappointment, if you always feel
11:13
like you're being let down, things aren't good, you are pessimistic about the
11:19
prospects of the world, the people, your community, your business, all of that.
11:25
We all touch them, of course, but if you're constantly in that theme,
11:29
usually that leads to more of that same feeling because you stay in
11:33
it and that's why life feels hard. Projectors, you feel bitter, so you're complaining that nobody sees you.
11:41
And then that's dragging your energy down.
11:43
So you're not getting invitations. So now you're annoyed by everybody that you see that you're smarter than.
11:48
And you're just like, they're not listening to me and I
11:50
could do better than that. That's a toxic energy that you're sending out and you are not following
11:57
your design if you're in that theme.
12:01
Now, the third piece is if you know the information, and this is a doozy,
12:08
but you aren't seeing the lessons.
12:11
So if you know your design, and you know your channels, and your centers,
12:17
and you know your cross, and you've been studying it like mad, and you
12:24
say things like, I know my design.
12:28
I know my design really well. I've been working with my design for a long time.
12:32
But you aren't seeing the lessons in it.
12:36
You aren't seeing how the low frequency of all of those things
12:41
that you've been studying are clues showing you where you have work to do.
12:48
They are lessons. I think it was also his style, but Ra, he didn't tell you what the potential was.
12:55
He was just like, this is how you're going to be bad.
12:58
This is how life's going to be hard. This is what's going to be really difficult for you.
13:02
Personally, I found it to be a little bit self defeating.
13:04
When I heard it, my chart sounded really hard, really difficult.
13:08
And I was curious and I went deeper, thank goodness, but I might have
13:13
quit if I hadn't found some more positive aspirational pieces of
13:18
my design, just because he made it sound like there was no hope.
13:23
And that's not the truth. The truth is that this is the greatest personal development tool that we have
13:28
ever had and certainly have at this time.
13:32
I don't know what might come in the future, but nothing will tune you into
13:37
the very specific lessons that you have than if you combine human design and
13:43
you become a real student of your life, And you start to really pay attention
13:49
to the things that happen in your life because all the clues are there.
13:52
Between your chart, which is going to tell you where to look, which is going to
13:55
tell you what is the general lesson here? Where might this come up?
13:59
If you start asking those questions, where has this come up for me in the past?
14:03
What does this remind me of? How am I already seeing this?
14:07
How am I seeing the high frequency? How am I seeing the low frequency?
14:11
If you paid attention to that instead of just knowing the definitions of your
14:16
design and you actually contemplated it, then you would see change.
14:24
You would feel far more aligned, things would start to move in the
14:27
right direction, and you would not feel stuck, you would not feel overwhelmed,
14:33
life wouldn't feel so hard, and you wouldn't be overthinking things where
14:38
you're stopping and starting, where you're in action and then you stop,
14:41
and you're in action and then you stop. It would feel like it flows.
14:47
So, knowledge without application is nothing.
14:53
Throw out ideas that if you listen to enough podcasts and you read enough
14:57
books that this will be enough.
15:00
You have to go and apply the design.
15:03
And if you're resistant to doing that, then you start
15:06
with that as being your work. And not everybody was down in the dumps.
15:10
I don't want to make it sound like that. I talked to a lot of people that were definitely further along in their
15:15
journey, but there's more to do.
15:18
And it is becoming a student of you.
15:21
It is becoming a neutral observer of how you operate and then being able
15:28
to make shifts and ask yourself hard questions about where things are
15:32
coming from or how they make you feel.
15:36
How is this keeping me safe? How has this always been my way of operating?
15:41
Who does this remind me of? What do I need to work through here?
15:45
It gives you a very specific map.
15:48
And if you're willing to do that work, then tremendous change
15:54
lies on the other side of that. I promise you that it does.
15:59
So, I hope that you found this helpful.
16:01
I hope that this inspires you, again, calls you up to diving into
16:06
actioning your human design as opposed to just learning about it.
16:10
Really going into it and seeing what's there for you?
16:13
What are the lessons that you are here to learn?
16:16
And if you started learning those, and operating according
16:20
to your strategy and authority. If you took the power away from your mind and you really gave into your
16:26
splenic authority as a projector.
16:28
Or to your sacral authority as a generator.
16:32
What if you really followed it? And ask yourself the question, am I just learning and interested,
16:38
or am I actioning and applying?
16:41
Actioning and applying is what gets results.
16:45
Learning solely on its own does not, and this is coming from a
16:49
one line, who loves to learn.
16:52
It isn't until I go out and use it, it isn't until I embodied it, that it
16:57
really all started to make sense for me. If you're confused about it, then there's still work to be done there.
17:04
So keep going. Please don't think that you're done.
17:08
And don't try to sell something that you have not embodied.
17:12
Don't feel like the work is done because you know.
17:15
Really do the work. And I promise you, that's where transformation lies.
17:21
Is through the action.
17:24
Through the living it. It's about living your design.
17:28
It is not about learning your design.
17:32
So I hope that distinction is clear.
17:34
I hope that this called you up and not out because that is the intention.
17:39
I hope it inspired you to look at your chart and say, what are the
17:42
lessons that are here for me to learn?
17:45
And if I learn them, what's possible for me?
17:47
Because that's what the gifts show you.
17:49
If I learn the lesson, then the gift is possible.
17:53
We tend to look at the gifts because it sounds better, but the truth is
17:57
that we cannot live the gift until we transcend and look at the shadow.
18:02
Work through it and shift into the gifts.
18:05
That's how we do it. That is what the process is.
18:08
So I hope that this helped. I hope that this called you up and not out.
18:12
I hope that you feel inspired to take greater action with your design,
18:15
to live your design and shift from knowing, to doing, and to applying.
18:21
