Human Design is my favorite tool to use when I’m feeling stuck or out of alignment. It can help you find grounding by showing you the best way to schedule your day, which environments you thrive in, when and what you should eat while also uncovering your deeper purpose and the person your soul came here to be. I like to think of it as the ultimate handbook designed uniquely for you based on when and where you were born. Since it’s such a layered and complex tool that combines many different modalities, it can feel overwhelming when you first dive in. I recommend trying not to take it all in at once. It really takes time (years) to get to know your blueprint so I’m sharing 3 Human Design experts I trust to help you get started.

I still remember the first time I saw my Human Design chart. I’ve been a lifelong lover of astrology (and still am), but Human Design felt different. It was as if someone handed me a user manual for myself. Imagine sitting down and trying to read your car manual cover to cover (which I did attempt when I was 16 and trying to be a good car owner.) It’s not something that’s meant to be consumed all at once, but rather a tool to carry with you for the rest of your life. It’s a guide to help you along on this human experience which is why it’s my favorite tool for self-reflection. I’ve carried my chart with me for years, and I love to reference it when I feel stuck on something or just need validation. I love Human Design because it shows you that you are meant to be exactly as you are, and the details that make you unique are intentional. It’s helped me let go of so much judgment and shame I held onto and has been so powerful in helping me embrace what makes me unique and special.

It’s taken me years to understand the importance of a morning ritual. I find it important to make the distinction between ritual and routine. When I think of a routine, it feels heavy, another thing I have to check off my list. Whereas when I think of a ritual, it feels fluid, something that can grow with me instead of boxing me in. 

While we can do anything, we can’t do everything. Our time is valuable, which is why a morning ritual is crucial. Understanding what you need to begin your day has the power to completely transform your life. You don’t have to make big changes to feel more fulfilled and connected to your purpose. Remember, you are the leader of your own life. You may not be able to quit your job or move to Bali, but maybe you can wake up 5 minutes earlier or give yourself permission to start your day doing something just for you. Small changes can have a major impact. You can completely shift the energy of your days simply by implementing a daily morning ritual.
