The Five Dates You Need To Take With Your Human Design For Self Trust & Validation As An Entrepreneur
Share

Being an entrepreneur is hard. It's triggering. There's so much potential for rejection, and it brings up a lot of our past trauma like a bull running for a red flag. So loving yourself through that journey, and validating yourself enough to take the risks you need to take, can feel...challenging.

This is why I love human design for that entrepreneur journey. For me, it was a tool to help me understand who I was without my trauma being present; and be able to communicate that to my ideal audience for the services I provide.

But there's A LOT of information when you first pull up your chart from sites like mybodygraph.com or similar - and a lot of words and phrases that sound like they're from another universe.

Uncovering your human design is a lot easier to break down when you realise it's a lot like being on 5 dates - with yourself.

If you think about any first date, the key to it going well is to keep it light and fun. You don't want to jump right in and tell them you have 4 kids, an ex and a 3 lifetimes of trauma...but when's the wedding?

You start off with the basics: your name, what you do for work and what you like to do on a weekend.

You establish the foundations to then move onto a second date, third, fourth etc where you find out more and more about them until you're in a fully fledged relationship.

So let's think about our human design chart in the same way to help it al click for you:

First Date - Type, Strategy & Authority

Second Date - Profile Lines, Incarnation Cross

Third Date - Gates, Centres, Placements, Channels

Fourth Date - The Variables AKA How you manifest & take in the world around you

Fifth Date (deciding you wanna make it official) - Pulling it all together and saying you're my boo

For the purpose of this blog I'm going to cover the First Date!
