Are you really ready to dial into the energy and power of the new year?
Did you know that the energetic theme for 2024 is all about stepping fully into AUTHENTIC ALIGNMENT versus the urge, conditioning, or belief that we need to push, force, or make shit happen through sheer WILLPOWER?
2024 Theme: Alignment vs. Willpower
Now, while this is the theme for this year, I would offer that most people don’t know what authentic alignment really means to them. We have been so distracted with the amplified noise all around us, that it’s highly likely you have lost sight of what true alignment means for you, let alone being fully embodied in it and operating consistently from it.
I know this to be true as I have endless calls with highly talented, experienced leaders who are in some level of transition, where they struggle to know their purpose, are feeling lost in the direction they are headed, and are simply feeling the full effects of imposter syndrome, shoulding, shaming, and the feeling of not being enough.
I had a call just today, with an old friend and former colleague of mine, and this was the exact conversation we had. He is feeling lost, both in his sense of purpose and in direction. He has been trying hard to figure out his next move to the point of desperation and exhaustion.
And, he’s been pushing, grinding, and hustling only to feel like he’s spinning his wheels and getting nowhere. He’s doing “all” the things. Well, at least “all” the things that we think we need to be doing. The narrative that we continue to buy into, and the shoulding we do all over ourselves.
He’s playing the quantity game versus the quality game.
Quality versus Quantity
We get taught that the more we push, the more we grind, the more we hustle, the more opportunities will open up for us. Whether that looks like more resumes being sent out, more sales calls, more marketing, or more something else. More, more, more.
The game-changer happens when we stop the madness, and stop the endless quest for more output. Instead, if we shift into a quality mindset, we open up alignment to the frequency and vibration of what we really want to call in. It’s not about doing more, it’s actually about doing less.
It’s the intentionality and clarity of the “less” that is what matters most.
The magic happens when we dial in our focus, energy, and intention.
When we go deep versus wide in our approach. For example, instead of sending out 100 resumes as a blast, you can take care and time to research the opportunities that feel most aligned for you and customize your response accordingly to a selective few. But first, you must know yourself enough to be able to discern what feels most aligned as a good fit.
Do you even know what you want to create, affect, expand, change, inspire, influence, or impact in the world? Have you really contemplated on why that matters to you? Do you know your own core values and due north?
Until you assess those things for yourself, it’s hard to know what things are truly meant for you and best aligned. One of the ways I’ve helped clients determine that for themselves in the strategy work we do together is by leveraging Human Design into the process.
Getting to Know You Better
Human Design represents YOUR energetic blueprint, coding, and innate wiring. For, it’s the operating plan of YOU! Your chart maps out how you:
- work, rest & play best
- interact with the world and others
- take in energy vs how you broadcast energy
- how you learn (and how you best teach)
- attract abundance & manifest best
It also helps your understand:
- your current narrative (conditioning & programming)
- what you are here to share with the world (Life & Soul Purpose)
- where you are most prone to imposter syndrome & burnout
- what your natural gifts & superpowers are
- your role in the overall Cosmic Plan / Puzzle
In understanding the key aspects and nuances of your Human Design, you have the opportunity to feel into what resonates most for you. Imagine if you could then easily invite and attract the things you really want in your life, rather than continue to force or push anything.
Because it’s not about doing more or making shit happen.
It’s about getting aligned AF in who you are, the authentic you, and tapping into the energy and frequency that matches what you truly want to call in.
It’s not about doing more. It’s about being and doing less
