you guys i really do love human design. it’s helped me validate a lot of what i’ve always known to be true, but maybe some external forces have told me that it should be otherwise. i recently realized that shopping is one of those thing – my energy and how i make decisions are totally influenced by my human design type. read on to see how best to use your human design energy type while shopping:
generator + manifesting generator
when you know, you know. you’ll know if you like a piece by looking at it, typically on the hanger or after trying it on. you have a physical “YES” or “nope” to a piece. society conditions us to think that we need the latest trend, but if it truly doesn’t fit with our style, it’s going to be a no go and you will never actually reach for it. great practice: start a Pinterest board and pin only what you have a gutteral reaction to. it doesn’t have to make sense; it doesn’t even have to align to the style you think you have today. by doing this, you will start sharpening your ability to listen in to your gut and take it out into the real world when you are ready to shop.
manifestor
manifestors are effective at initiating things, so they may be the best suited for finding and starting trends. even if it doesn’t seem like it makes sense with what’s “in style” or your style today, if you think it’s cool, it likely will be. manifestors should feel free to use their mind to dream up and initiate style trends, great outfits, and new ways to wear pieces.
projector
since your energy type requires an invitation to respond to something, you may be the best suited type to actually find that targeted ads are relevant and helpful for you. start paying attention to what you see when you’re online, out in the world, dreaming. what is meant for you will show up as an invitation, and shopping is not any different in that respect. that perfect pair of boots you know you want for fall but can’t seem to find? all of a sudden you may get served an ad for the silver cowboy boots of your dreams from the nordstrom sale.
reflector
rarest of all the types, reflectors are a mirror for the energy around them and easily pick up on the energies outside of themselves. this may be the design type where the shopping experience is most important – truly if “the vibes are off” a projector won’t be able to find success while shopping. find and frequent shops, sites, and brands that you resonate with and you will effectively use your human design while shopping.
i used my generator gut check when shopping at the nordstrom sale this past weekend, and WOW was it nice to just give myself permission to say yes to what i liked! so refreshing; so game changing. i encourage you to try it, if you haven’t.
thanks, as always, for reading!
