Catching Moods
Perhaps youāve woken up feeling on top of the world. When you descend into the heart of your home, you feel the ick.
Or maybe youāre excited to head into work and as soon as you walk into the doors, something just feelsā¦off.
Itās like there’s a grey cloud hovering over your head and you just donāt know why.
You wonder, why am I feeling this yuck when I was so happy just a few minutes ago?
Itās happened to us all at one time or another and we just donāt know how to explain itā¦
Today, Iāll be sharing why you may be catching these āmoodsā and how you can get rid of them when you do and how to protect your energy moving forward.
When Human Design found me in February of 2020 at the cusp of the lockdowns, I felt seen in a satisfying yet somehow terrifying way.
At that time, I was feeling restless, uncertain, and underwhelmed by my life and the businesses I had created thus far. It felt like something was just missing and I didn’t know what it was.
Everything I had built up to that point, including my identity, was missing the most critical piece….ME!
Looking back, the experience was akin to following the white rabbit down the hole to Wonderland. Things in this new land were curious and not always as they seemed.Ā
Everywhere I looked in Wonderland, I saw magical things
Giants squashing dreams that were so pervasive, they sneaked through crevices to appear again and again
Stories from the past resurfaced, this time with alternative endings
Impossible things show themselves in vivid color
My Wonderland also held for me a new way of viewing myself and life, a treasure map of sorts.Ā
As I began to explore….
Shrinking and growing to walk through the doors, I was presented with a deeper understanding of myself.
I began noticing patterns in my life and (gulp) why I had repeated them so often.
I saw why certain things had worked in business and why others had not despite all my hustling and working harder.
Neon signs winked at me from around every turn. They pointed to paths of growth I could follow and explore.
In Wonderland, ALL my cards and stories were on the table. My shadows and my superpowers (thanks for this phrase, Michelle Lawsonš ) .
I could pick through each with new insight. I could so clearly see my life and the limitations others had imposed on me.Ā
Can you say societal, familial, and cultural conditioning???
I saw the gifts that I was given, yet hidden away for fear that I would be labeled as ādifferent.ā
Wonderland goes by a different name – a name known by more and more people each day.
The longer Iām immersed in this world of Human Design, the more I see when I browse my social feeds. Thank you, Reticular Activating System [RAS]!
In case youāre unfamiliar with the RAS, itās a nifty sifting system your brain has created. It takes in the millions of pieces of data we receive daily and filters them. It cuts through all the ānoiseā to help you see more of what you want or believe.Ā
This is the system that works on your behalf when in the market to buy a new car, new shoes, heck anything. All of a sudden, you see that very item everywhere!
Itās a bit of a slippery slope thoughā¦if youāre focused on how dire things are or how much you lack, the RAS will present evidence to confirm that, too.
In short, the RAS confirms or refutes information based on the filters you have programmed it to receive.
Turns out Henry Ford was right when he said, āWhether you think you can or think you canāt, you are right.ā
What Iāve begun to notice is that there are many out there that use and apply Human Design as a convenient Labeling System! š³
Because itās so easy to do.Ā
To label thingsā¦
In reality, itās exactly what I did to myself when Human Design first found me. When I discovered that I was a Projector, I thought I could only operate within a certain set of āguidelines.āĀ
Human Design is often described as a personality test and is lumped together with the likes of the Meyers-Briggs, Enneagram, etc.Ā
To label Human Design so simply is misleading as best. At worst, that label negates the wealth of information your Human Design Chart carries. Thatās been my experience, anyway.
What if we drop the labels and explore Human Design for what it truly offers us?
A beautiful doorway – a portal to your own version of Wonderland – through which we can get to know ourselves, our authentic selves, including the parts of us we often hide.
Sounds exciting, right???
If youāre curious about Human Design and the magic it holds for you, Iām feeling called to create a video (or several).
When Human Design found its way to me via Amy Isaman and called me out nearly three years ago, I had no idea the journey on which I was about to embark.
It was February 2020, right before the world shut down and I was feeling lost. It felt as though something was missing in my life. I just couldnāt put my finger on what it was.
I had built several businesses by this point, yet I wasnāt experiencing the fulfillment I thought I would. Looking back, I can see many habits and familiar patterns that kept repeating themselves because I thought I āshouldā or needed to do those things.
Hindsight is a funny thing. Looking back, I could clearly see that I was caught in a
Never-ending spin cycle:
Build.
Achieve.
Move on to build the next thing.
Celebrations, if any were rare and often silent. After all, I didnāt want to be a braggart as I checked off off little boxes on my metaphorical life tally.
It was a time of profound emotions that I kept locked up inside myself. On the outside, all looked well, yet internally there was tremendous turmoil raging. Couple all that with a global pandemic and you can surmise that something big was about to go down.
Restlessness.
Overwhelm.
Underwhelm.
Anger.
Resentment.
Pity.
Regret.
There were but a few of the emotions that raged inside, taking their toll on my physical body in ways I would not discover until later.
It was mass confusion.
There wasn’t a clear path forward…
So many years of my entrepreneurial journey were spent seeking out the next best strategies, tactics, mentors, and courses.
And none of them got me to where I wanted to go.
Naturally, that led to the conclusion that maybe I just wasnāt cut out to be an entrepreneur.
Isnāt it interesting how we humans can make seemingly unrelated things have meanings that are so far from reality?
On that day in February, I discovered there was one path I had yet to explore in depth.
A path I had ventured onto a time or two, yet one on which I was extraordinarily uncomfortable and unfamiliar so didnāt bother to stay on for long.
All I knew was that I needed to ādoā something to relieve the pressure that was building inside me.
And so I did the one thing I didnāt want to do.
I chose the path less traveled.
I stepped into the discomfort, into the unfamiliar, and chose myself.
Choosing to āknow myselfā was really the only possibility I had left to explore.
Human Design allowed me to fill my cup in more ways than one.
It quenched my love of learning, my love of science, and all things metaphysical.
At the beginning of my Human Design Journey, it was more about gaining knowledge than applying it to myself.
I kept Human Design at arm’s length for quite some time and that workedā¦
until it didnāt.
What I soon realized was that Human Design was calling me out from the darkness I was feeling and beckoning me into the light of a life well-lived.
Calling me out to…
Be the person I was designed to be, not the person I was currently being.
Speak up, and share my gifts, my talents, and my passions in a bigger way, not hide them behind a computer screen, locked away in a cloud vault.
Live and embody my full design, not hide parts away the parts I donāt think people wonāt like or accept.
Share what Iāve learned from self-study and so many incredible mentors who have lovingly stepped up to share their wisdom with me including Jackie Johnstone Jamie Palmer Alexandra Danieli Karen Curry Parker.
Guide YOU on your quest for transformation, so that you can step into the best version of yourself. To step into the spotlight of the life YOU know theyāre meant to live.
Be a channel to write these words, to invite you along on this journey of self-discovery, self-realization, of living and embodying YOUR Human Design.
This journey into the heart and soul of me of nearly three years hasnāt always been easy. Detangling from lifeās conditioning, from the belief that logic and using my thinking brain is the answer to everything, to questioning beliefs and the meaning that Iāve held onto for so long.
This is the work and the magic of Human Design.
To get back to the heart and soul of who you really are, who youāre designed to be.
To fulfill your role on the planet at this time.
Itās your turn to choose.
You are enough.
You know enough.
Everything you need is already inside you.
If youāre feeling called to take the path less traveled and dive into the depths of you, Iād be honored to be your guide.
Itās Wednesday. It’s as good a day as any to act on an idea planted over the holiday weekend. This idea has presented itself to me multiple times over the years. I’ve never felt called to put it into action until now.Ā
The idea was sparked while listening to Pam Groutās book, Art & Soul Reloaded: A Year-Long Apprenticeship for Summoning the Muses and Reclaiming Your Bould, Audacious, Creative Side.
The book contains 52 weeks of prompts and playful challenges. Listening, the book was the ideal length to fill the entire drive from Reno. If you’ve made the trip, you know it can be a bit tedious. This book made the drive a veritable ideas factory on wheels.
Hereās the ideaā¦
To write for 30 consecutive days and publish at least one blog post per week. Maybe even one per day š³
Yong swings on the porch allowing the ideas to flow to and through her.
While not a newbie to blogging, itās not something Iāve done with any consistency for many years. Yes, I share my podcasts and videos on my blog and lots of other interesting things. However, most of my written posts that begin as blogs have been done sporadically and I want to change that.
Since May 16, Iāve been writing every weekday. Iāve occasionally written or spoken my words on my phone on weekends when an idea presents itself to me.Ā
And boy, oh boy, thereās been a flood of ideas coming my way.Ā
So if you need ideas, hit me up for reals!!!
What started out as a fun way to understand the Human Design Gates more deeply, has turned into so much more. Writing has unleashed a wellspring of words and ideas that have taken many different forms.Ā
From poetry to web copy, new business ideas and even bigger dreams, have been finding their way to me. I find the ideas have been flowing more readily as Iāve been consciously letting go of “shoulds.”
Iāve been randomly drawing one card per weekday from the Quantum Human Design Activation Card Deck by Karen Curry Parker. Before drawing, I ask a question of the Universe. I allow my intuition, my inner guides, to choose the card I most need. The card acts as my prompt to contemplate or put into action that day.Ā
Today, I drew Gate 11
It’s the Gate of the Conceptualist | Gate of Ideas.
In Human Design language, I donāt have this gate defined. Iām not always able to be a vessel of overflowing ideas. I also don’t have a consistent way of accessing ideas like someone with a defined gate. I do, however, want to do everything I can to be a conduit for ideas when they arrive.
Gate 11 is calling me to share this idea of writing for 30 consecutive days.
If youāre still reading and have been waiting for a sign or a loving nudge so that you can explore your creativity and how writing [or speaking] might help you do that, I invite you to join me.Ā
It will be fun, I promise š¤Ŗ
– Yong
For the next 30 days, here’s what I’m committing publically.
I’ll share more…
thoughts
musings
inspirations, and
investigations
that have been finding their way to me by hitting publish.Ā
I may even share some of the more than 20K+ words that have been gifted to me from the Universe. Especially those from the past month and a half.
If youād like to join me on this writing adventure, you’re invited!
If you want to know when I hit publish on the blog, it’s easy peasy to do so.
All you have to do is say YES.
xo, Yong
