Hello to my generator and manifesting generator friends.
I am a generator myself.
So let's have a little generator conversation about responding because responding is your human design strategy and if you want to live with more ease and more flow and even improve your well-being it's very important that you understand what it means to respond and live according to your strategy of to respond.
But what I'm going to talk about today is what it means or what it looks like how it feels when you do not respond.
I'm going to share two short stories from my life that highlight what it looks like when you don't respond because I believe when you understand the opposite sometimes of what you're meant to do it helps to solidify it helps you to recognize when you're in that space when you're in that not self of oh yeah I wasn't responding there and maybe that's why that happened.
These are very simple stories on purpose because I feel you will relate.
So let's talk about not responding.
Story number one.
This happened a few months ago and now I live in a place that lives that where I'm on the I live on the water and I have a veranda out the back and now I have a beautiful setting of chairs and a table out there.
This is important to know because on that table for the longest time was a dustpan and a broom.
I think my husband left it there.
The point is every time I would sit outside I would see that dustpan and broom and as I'm looking out to the water I would go oh that really obstructs my view I should move that I don't like that there.
Now it probably continued for about a week where I would look at this dustpan and broom and go oh I don't like that oh I'd have a physical reaction of oh I don't like that there I should move that.
I did not move it.
Don't ask me why I don't know.
The point is I really wanted that dustpan and broom moved.
Then when I was in that middle of I really want that moved but not doing it I recall being in the kitchen one night and I was cooking away making dinner and I reached up to the top of my pantry and pulled down this jar it was this big glass jar and what happened I didn't grab it properly smash all over my tile floor.
I had glass shards everywhere and whatever was in the glass I do not remember but what did I need to do?
Oh I needed to go out and get the dustpan and broom.
I needed to move the broom.
I needed to honor that feeling that I had already had to move the dustpan and broom to get that clear view.
When I sit down out to the water outside I went out I got the dustpan and broom and I cleaned up my mess and I was realizing as I was doing that oh Claire you've done this to yourself because you did not honor that feeling of responding when you looked at the dustpan and broom my body went oh yes I want that moved but I didn't take action.
So the universe stepped in and said Claire we know what you want let's help you get it even though it's not in the easiest way not in the way that you would prefer.
Now my friends that is an example of not responding my body lit up with a yes or no do I want to move the dustpan and broom yes I do then my brain goes yeah do it another time I can't be bothered now and I did that over a week my mind my brain response was what I followed rather than my sacral response which was saying to move it.
Now responding really is as simple as that it's in every area of your life I hope that makes sense and that maybe you can relate to that so even the little things that you are responding to or not responding to notice how your body is feeling because they all play a part in how your life unfolds.
Now I would like to tell you a second story about responding this one's a little bit more complex so stay with me now it was recently I won't say who it was it was someone in my family's birthday and I love this person very dearly I want the best for this person and what happened is myself and someone else in the family we pulled our money to buy this to buy an expensive gift for this person and when we gave this person the gift their response was one of surprise not a good surprise of like oh oh okay thank you very much now myself and the person who had put the money together I had been told by the other person I pulled the money with that this is the gift that the person wanted so I lit up going oh yeah I really want to get them the thing that they want so when the person opened the gift and their response was confusion but a bit gratitude but thank you but why are you giving me this I felt deflated wasn't about me however I made it about me what happened then is the next day after this person had received the gift my brain started kicking in I started thinking oh I should get them another gift because I really want to make sure that they feel special I really want to make sure that they know that I love them and that they have things that make them feel special and so I jumped on to a website and I booked them a massage I booked them another gift and through the whole time I was on this website or considering what to get them I was led by my mind my mind was going is this is this what I should get them uh maybe it's this one uh now look at my face I'm going ah that's a sacral face that's a sacral face that's going no no but my brain's going maybe yeah maybe because it's conditioned to think that way what I did was I booked the massage for this person I didn't feel anything in my body there was no sacral response lighting up to say yeah get this massage for them they're gonna love it it's the way to go it was purely my brain going yeah get them something else this is a good idea let's do it so I did and I joyfully gave this person the second gift they were very grateful they were immensely grateful and of course very surprised however what happened about a week later is that this person said hey Claire I can I give that massage back to you I don't really want it I I've had this stuff going in in my body and I'm really still healing and I don't think it's a good idea that I do this and of course I was surprised I didn't expect to receive the gift of the massage back in return but of course I understood I'm like oh okay yeah sure no problem I was very friendly about it I was just a little bit surprised now the gift did not go to waste someone else used it I gave it to someone else who was delighted by the gift but when I received the gift back I felt deflated I thought oh oh so again I didn't get you something that you wanted but I was again turning it about me it wasn't about me at all but what was happening what you need to know is that when I was purchasing that second gift it was purely a mental choice therefore I was in retrospect I was not surprised that the gift was returned back to me and that I felt that that happened because there was nothing in my body when I was booking that gift to tell me that it was the way to go there was nothing lighting up saying yeah get this gift it was purely a mental process and then of course I created a harder way of doing things in my world I created more steps more things I had to process when the gift was back going okay why did this happen what's going on who can use it now it was like there was a whole ball of emotions that needed to be processed which would never have come up if I had listened to my sacral which was telling me nothing and when it tells me nothing that's also a sign that now is you're not responding to anything in your body there's no yes there's no you know going on it's purely your mind taking over now as a manifesting generator and a generator it's essential that we recognize the difference between when our body responds when we get that sacral yes or that sacral no and between when our mind is saying I think we should probably do that yeah let's do that when we're initiating ideas without that body response it is difficult because we are conditioned to do that however it is essential if you want to create less stress in your life and build more trust I promise you that listening to your sacral and sometimes telling your mind to just chill there's nothing to respond here yet so we're all good we're just going to trust that things are good until we have this thing come to us to respond to that's how you're going to live with more more happiness and more health in your body as well because the more you can align with your strategy the more every part of your well-being body mind and spirit recognizes your cells respond to your ability to respond they respond with the highest level of well-being that you can possibly have your healing is activated and just more joy comes to you
