You're stressed.
You're also wondering why the stress advice that you're following isn't making you feel more calm.
When we're stressed we're told that to feel better we need to make sure that we eat well,
We need to exercise,
We need to get sunlight,
We need to sleep as well as we can.
And they are all very important things.
But the thing is,
You probably know that you are more than just your physical body.
You are a combination of your body and your mind and your spirit.
Unless we address more than just your body,
Which is your nervous system responding to the stress and you feeling that that tenseness in your body,
Unless we go a layer deeper,
It's unlikely that that feeling of stress is going to leave you.
For the long term.
You might temporarily feel better.
If you go into the sunshine and you be in nature,
Of course,
That makes us all feel more chill.
But if I have been chronically stressed,
Going out in nature in the sunshine will only temporarily make me feel better.
Because we need to address the deeper layer.
Now what am I talking about?
Your brand of stress,
Your personal brand of stress,
Is expressed according to your energetics.
The spiritual side of you influences your stress as well.
It influences how you feel stressed,
Why you feel stressed,
Where stress is stored in your body,
And it influences how stress is best relieved for you in the long term as well.
Now for me,
I'm a naturopath.
I have been for 20 something years and I'm also a human design analyst.
And for me,
One of the best ways to get to the core of the stress.
Is by understanding your personal soul blueprint,
Which you can do by looking at your human design or your astrology.
Now as a human design analyst who specializes in human design for health,
I'm going to obviously talk about human design today in relationship.
To you dealing with your stress.
And the main thing is that you really need to understand in regards to human design and stress.
Is your human design energy type which is either a generator,
A manifesting generator,
A projector,
A manifester or a reflector.
Now once you know your energy type You,
My friend,
Have.
The very basic foundations of understanding what you need to process the stress that comes into your life and that impacts you on a very anatomical and physiological level.
What do I mean?
The generators in this world,
Which is most of us,
And the manifesting generators,
We respond,
I'm a generator myself,
We respond to life.
And our strategy is to wait to respond,
Which means that for us,
The biggest thing we can do to help decrease our stress is to not work from our minds like we are taught to do,
Going,
Oh my gosh,
What do I do next?
How do I relieve my stress?
Oh my God.
Oh,
This is so overwhelming.
Oh,
I've got to,
I've got to analyze this stress so much.
No,
No,
No,
No,
No.
As a generator or a manifesting generator,
You step back from that.
Ideally.
And you come into your body and you learn what it feels like when your body says yes to something that naturally comes to you because you're a giant magnet.
Or when it says,
Oh no,
I don't want that.
When you determine between those yeses and those noes,
That is the core of understanding how stress builds in your body.
And what helps to relieve it.
If you're a projector,
It's quite different.
You are here to wait.
For invitations or wait for acknowledgement.
Before you share your wisdom because you are so wise.
And for you,
Your stress.
Can very easily build.
When you are sharing the abundance of wisdom that naturally is inside of you with anyone at any time.
So,
Oh,
I see what they need.
I'm going to help them out and I'm just going to tell them this thing that's going to help them.
But then you're met with,
Oh,
What are you talking about?
Why would you know what that is?
Like just this backlash when you share your wisdom.
Because you shared it without waiting for that acknowledgement or that invitation.
Before sharing it.
If you're a manifester,
You are so creative and you can have these amazing surges of information come in and you're like,
Oh my gosh,
I want to create this thing,
I want to bring this thing into the world.
And you can just be like,
Boom,
Let's do it.
And from the outside world,
That can look great,
See?
And you can bump into people going,
What are you doing?
Oh,
That looks so messy.
Like,
How are you going to bring that into the world?
Because you guys,
You manifestors,
You create things often that people haven't seen before.
Well,
You're like,
Well,
I want this thing,
And I don't know how I'm going to create it,
But I know that I'm going to create it.
And even if the world hasn't seen it before,
I know I can do it.
Which is why to the rest of us,
That can look crazy.
But for a manifestor,
The core of dealing with the stress is to recognize you're about to go into this really cool surge of creating something.
And to just tell the people around you,
Just inform them,
Just go,
Hey,
I'm going to be in creative mode for a while.
It might.
Look makes sense to you,
But that's okay.
Just so you know,
I need to go do this thing.
Just inform them.
You're not asking for permission.
You're letting them know what you're going to do,
Then you go do it.
That in itself decreases a layer of resistance from other people and stress that will be presented to you from them going,
What is this?
And not getting it.
If you are a reflector,
You are very open to all of the energies around you.
You feel it all.
Which can mean it's very difficult for you to make a decision and know that what you are deciding and choosing is actually yours.
So in an ideal world.
Will You'll feel like,
Oh,
I think I want to do this thing.
Great.
But then you will wait an entire lunar cycle.
That's the cycle of the moon,
Which is about 28 days.
Until you make that final decision,
If it's like a decent-sized decision,
Of whether you want to do it or not.
Because you will change almost every day.
Based on who you're around,
Where you are,
The situations and the places that you're in,
You're going to feel different every day about what you want to do.
Now,
If at the end of that lunar cycle,
That 28 days,
You still feel like,
Oh,
I really want to do this thing.
Amazing.
That is yours.
That was your energy with inside you saying,
Let's do this thing,
Not something that you picked up from other people.
And if you can wait that time rather than just jumping in and going oh I really want to do this thing and the next day you're like you make this big decision and you do it but then maybe a week later you're like oh why did I do that I don't like this at all.
That's stress.
And that's something that could have been avoided for your energy type if you had waited.
In a way that your energetics are designed to process life.
Now there is.
.
.
Much more,
Of course,
To dealing with stress.
For each of us,
Because we've all lived through a pandemic.
We're living through wars in country.
We're living through financial issues.
We're living through food shortages for many people as well.
They're outside sources of stress,
And that's when we really need to make sure that we are doing the best to support ourselves,
Especially our bodies,
Through that stress.
But there's also types of stress that we all encounter that,
Hey,
That we create as well sometimes.
Times unknowingly.
And it's when you understand the energetics that you were born with that you can decrease at least some of the stress,
The nervous system hyperactivity,
The anxiety that you might be dealing with.
When you understand how your system and your energetics work,
The stress that you naturally experience can be decreased because you know what your system needs to feel soothed and to feel optimized.
When you understand your energetics and how stress impacts you,
You can also understand the physical symptoms that you are prone to.
You understand the first signs of when your behavior starts to shift.
You go,
That's the stress coming in.
You go back to the core energetics.
To rectify all of that,
Your energy,
Your energetics,
Will also respond very specifically to movements.
Exercises.
Flower essences.
Maybe even foods and herbs that are designed for your energetics to help soothe your system.
And bring down a layer of stress that you might be dealing with that is more than just what this big world is presenting to us at this time.
