Are You a Perfectionist Fuss Budget?

I have one note before I get started. My website isn't functioning right now, and I don't know why. What a lovely problem for a Perfectionist! Anyway, . . .

I've got two 'serious' blogs I'm writing right now. To tell you the truth, I hate writing. It's laborious, and seriously procrastination-inducing. Why? Primarily because I'm a perfectionist about it. Zillions of experts recommend that I just write whatever is waiting to be communicated, then go back and fix it later. Well, I can't get myself to do that. I try to get it perfect straight 'out of the pen'. But things don't work that way, at least not in my writing world. I labor to get it perfect as I write. THEN I go back and edit, and edit . . . and edit. It's nutso. This is the primary reason why my supposedly monthly blog is so NOT monthly. But then you get enough mail already, huh.

I'm a perfectionist about everything. This used to, and sometimes still does cause me a lot of grief. Now that I understand about Human Design, at least it makes sense to me. The Conscious Sun on each person's chart is an aspect of themselves that they experience in all areas of life. It is likely that they experience both the positive and the not-so-positive aspects of this energy. In doing Human Design readings for people, I continue to be amazed at how absolutely consistently this is true. (If you want to read my series of posts about Human Design, they start in November 2012.)

On my Human Design chart, the Gate 26 is the Conscious Sun. This is the Gate of Truth and Integrity . . . or the absence of Truth and Integrity. Can you see how Perfectionism is right there leading the way from the top of my chart! I obsessively make more truth and integrity happen all around me. Far too frequently I see lack of what I perceive to be perfection out there, and I attempt to make my environment (including other people) conform to my standards. Of course, my standards of perfection aren't always 'right' or the 'best' way. Just MY way. Kind of unreasonable, huh. At least I recognize this now, . . . well uh, most of the time. I always appreciate my husband for putting up with me! He's got an angel's patience. And for the most part, I've got him well trained.

It gets even better. Perfectionism shows up in multiple ways on my chart. Most people have a theme that runs consistently through their Human Design chart. Guess what mine is. You've got it. If I were inclined to seek diagnoses from doctors, I might well have acquired a diagnostic label of borderline obsessive compulsive. Fortunately, I have successfully bypassed 'medical' treatment through pharmaceuticals in favor of pursuing health through natural means like lifestyle and diet.

Back to struggles with writing. There is an exception to the rule. When I'm actually inspired to write, it just comes out, practically by itself, unbidden. My only role in this manifestation of finished prose is providing the physical vehicle that types the keys and pushes the Publish button. That's called 'authorship'? I imagine this is how some authors experience writing. For me, it's a rarity.

However, today is an inspired writing day. My two serious postings are temporarily on hold. But then I was already seriously practicing my procrastination skills.

Perfectionist Fuss Budget
As a Perfectionist, I frequently have comments, suggestions, etc. that I want to offer to other people. (Dear Reader and Perfectionist colleague, can you relate to this??) Human Design taught me that when giving feedback, suggestions, or advice, it is ALWAYS a good idea to first ask the person if they want feedback. Then be gracefully accepting of their decision if they decline. (Take note of this, everyone. Anyone and everyone can benefit from this wisdom. Give someone unsolicited advice, and watch their hackles come up. First ask them for permission to share. Understanding this makes life with other people so much easier!)

Giving feedback through e-mail is potentially problematic. The interpersonal connection is weak, and there is no real-time interaction. But I endeavor to communicate anyway, and tell the person that I have feedback for them. I ask if they want my input, and say that if they don't want the input, they can stop reading my message. I hope this works as intended. Noone has ever told me how they respond emotionally to receiving these messages.

Returning to the Perfectionist Fuss Budget story. A training program I am completing is currently implementing some excellent program enhancements. I received a piece of work to do and had several significant ways that I felt it could be improved to be more clear. Watch out! There's a Perfectionist on the rampage. Through e-mail, I gave my suggestions for the training lesson in question, then went about my day.

In addition to being a Perfectionist, I'm also obsessively concerned about offending people. This area is fraught with lack-of-perfection potential for me. When I start obsessing about things, they don't leave me alone until I communicate about them. So I wrote another e-mail, explaining my intention to help, and that I hope no offense was taken. Being Me can be so exhausting. Whew.

As I was writing the closing lines of the e-mail, . . . that's when the moniker Perfectionist Fuss Budget was born! (I make up here that when creative inspiration hits, one is prone to using vocabulary that never, ever see the light of day in normal conversation. Moniker?? Unbidden, rampage, hackles, and fraught? I tell you. All that vocabulary plus Perfectionist Fuss Budget in one day. I looked up 'unbidden' to make sure it's a word, so clearly it's not part of my normal lexicon. Wikipedia doesn't have it, the dictionary does. It's inspired creativity. And today's moniker and words all fit, just right. Inspiration drives me to write - and to finish. It's so NOT like my normal writing process.)

Ease & Grace
I like my new moniker. It absolutely suits me, while adding humor and lightness to my excessively serious way of being. I feel more loving and accepting of myself. Hard as I may be on other people, it's always Yours Truly who receives the brunt of my criticism.

Are You a Perfectionist Fuss Budget?
You're welcome to join my new mini-club. Is there a Facebook page for us already?

How Was Your Childhood? - HD

Do you remember your childhood? Are your memories pleasant? Or difficult? If you are like most people, your memories are likely to be a complex mingling of positive and negative.

As children, we develop patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that shape all aspects of our future. For the first six years, we are sponges, soaking up everything that occurs around us. Even before birth, we take in the energy, emotions, and behavior of our parents. Shaped by this input, we learn what it takes to survive.

Human Design

Human Design provides understanding of the uniquely personal gifts, challenges, and needs that each individual is likely to experience.

Many people are designed to have a strong need for attention and recognition. When this need is not satisfied, attention-seeking behavior will result. In both children and adults! Can you recall a time when you saw - and heard - a child seeking attention in a disruptive way? Parents who understand about their child's need for attention are able to proactively provide appropriate attention, significantly reducing the incidence of misbehavior.

Another common family experience is power struggles. What if a parent understands that their child is designed to have challenges with power? They can then utilize practices and skills to support an appropriate experience of power for the child.

Human Design describes several energies that are important for each individual's experience of life. Depending on how they play out within the family experience, these energies can result in difficulties.

My Childhood & Life School

Looking through the lens of Human Design makes so much sense of my lifetime of challenges and struggles! Perfectionism and needing to be right, needing to be in control, being sensitive to criticism and rejection, forever trying to fit in and be liked, . . . It's all in the chart. (Lest it all appear to be 'negative' in focus, I mention now that everything has the potential for both 'positive' and 'negative' expression. I wrote about dualities in an earlier post. Some of 'positive' themes in my chart are perfectionism, sensitivity, intuition, 'database brain', . . .)

When I realized this, my lifelong compulsion towards harshly judging myself for my thoughts, emotions, and actions lost its intensity. "I am this way, because I'm supposed to be this way!" Noone did anything 'wrong.' What a relief that is.

Working through conundrums, difficulties, and struggles is part of life's curriculum. With nothing to nudge me to learn and grow, what would be the point? In my experience, every person gets a bit 'twisted up' as a result of their early life. There may be exceptions out there, but I've not met them.

Some people have difficult life experiences, from birth onwards. (The propensity for this is likely to be in the individual's Human Design chart. For example, some people are designed to experience a theme of 'struggle' throughout life.) I consider myself fortunate to have had a relatively easy childhood. We had everything we needed, and everyone in the family was physically healthy and emotionally 'normal.' (In my opinion, there is no such thing as a true 'normal.') We had our issues, but there were no major hurdles to overcome, no huge life-altering traumatic experiences, no addictions. Thank God for that! To tell the truth, I had advantages and benefits that many other people never experience. Overall, my childhood and how I was parented were significantly 'better' than 'normal.'

I grew up to be essentially 'normal.' Yet, I was unhappy. Years of therapeutic work certainly helped. However, the understanding provided by Human Design of how I am designed makes all the difference. There is nothing wrong with me! I am significantly more peaceful with myself than ever before. Understanding my design also enables me to be more intentional and targeted in my ongoing growth.

Education for Parents & Raising Resilient Children

Given the influence that parents have upon who we will become, what training do they receive to prepare for the responsibility of raising children? It would be wonderful if a vast body of wisdom were universally bestowed upon parents-to-be prior to the birth of their first child. Particularly if it included an understanding of Human Design. What a different world! I certainly would have been a 'better,' happier, and more satisfied parent had I received such training.

I have learned a 'new' approach to parenting. My perspective on my own childhood, and my way of being as a parent have transformed.

If you are interested in this revolutionary way of parenting, read the post below this one. I share about family coaching, parenting workshops, and Human Design readings for families.

Human Design Readings

If you are interested in learning about your Human Design, I encourage you to schedule a reading. If you would like greater understanding about children, spouses, parents, or friends, reading their charts can help you relate with them more effectively and joyfully.

Raising Resilient Children - HD

What would it be like if all children grew up to be confident, capable, happy adults??? Looking at today's world, this is greatly needed - and we have a long way to go!

Human beings are amazingly malleable, with each life experience adding to the totality of who we are. In the first years of life, a child is like a blank canvas. Early experiences exert a foundational influence upon the personality picture that will emerge. By adulthood, we have established most of the patterns and belief systems that make up our way of being, so individual events are less impactful.

Is it possible to consistently raise children in a way that maximizes their ability to become effective, happy, and contributing members of society? Yes! This posting discusses resources for parents that can support them in raising resilient children.

This is part two in a series. If you have not read How Was Your Childhood?, the post above this one, I recommend starting there. Each individual's early life forms the foundation for how they will parent their own children.

Need For a New Parenting Approach

Shootings and bombings are evidence that today's society is allowing young people to fall through holes in the safety net. Some of these youngsters then mature into adults with increased potential for violence. I believe that if ALL people grew up with truly supportive parenting, shocking violent events, terrorism, and even war would almost completely cease to exist.

My first exposure to a new parenting model was a revelation. It makes so much sense. I wish I had been raised this way. And I absolutely wish I'd had this knowledge when I had my son.

Human Design forms the core of this model. This chart interpretation system is a relative newcomer, 'discovered' in 1987. So almost all of the world's adults were raised without the benefit of Human Design's perspective. Injecting an understanding of the Human Design charts of a child and of both parents can completely alter how the parents then interact with that child. Challenges that may occur within the family frequently make sense when viewed through the Human Design lens. (For more information about Human Design, I have several postings. I designate them with HD at the end of the name, if it's not written out. Here is a link to the first posting.)

Another key component is an understanding of the stages of child development. When families are experiencing difficulties with a child, very frequently the challenge occurring is actually developmentally normal. Understanding this helps dissolve parental concerns. Developmentally appropriate strategies for managing the situation can then be found.

A third component of this parenting model is being intentional. When situations become challenging, having a clear sense of where you are heading makes staying on track easier. I clearly see the impact of the absence of intentionality in how I raised my own child.

My Parenting Experience

Despite enlightened intentions, I parented my son by trial and error. Every day I did whatever it took to keep myself sane, and my son, and everyone else in the family going until tomorrow. When it came to dealing with daily stresses, I frequently did things that I regretted. When I did or said something that I felt could negatively impact my son's opinion of himself, his experience of life, or his future, I felt terribly guilty. But when it came to handling daily circumstances, I just couldn't control my mouth and my actions. I operated on automatic. Even as it happened, I was aware that my behavior was controlled by patterns that were set when I was a child.

Parenting is a stressful experience for me. I am a control freak, and I expect perfection of myself and everyone else. This is particularly problematic when raising children, and I judged myself quite harshly for having unreasonable expectations. Now that I understand Human Design, I realize that control and perfectionism are inherent to my design. I see other aspects that contribute to my difficulties with being a parent. I judge myself less, and simultaneously have an easier time relating with both my son and with people in general.

How would I grade myself as a parent? Truthfully, despite my tendency to be overly self-critical, I would say that I am average. I'm just one parent of the many, everywhere, who deal with ongoing challenges with their family lives.

Resilient Children

I think the most important thing we can do to support our children is to appropriately meet their needs. Of course, basic survival needs are critical. Assuming these are met, there are also needs for love and attention. Understanding the dynamics of these needs and others is an important part of the new parenting model.

When this occurs consistently throughout a child's early life, they become resilient. Resilient children are confident and capable in their ability to travel through life, making their unique contributions and handling whatever circumstances arise. When faced with adversity that might knock someone else over, a resilient person bounces up, makes adjustments, and keeps going.

When we raise children to be resilient, we prepare them for happy, successful, and productive lives in the complex world of our future.

Human Design Readings

Understanding the Human Design charts of your family members can be incalculably valuable.  Readings for children help you understand why they behave as they do, and provides insight into how you can support them. Having a reading for yourself as a parent helps you understand your skills, needs, habits, and preferences, and how this all plays out within the context of your family relationships.

Family readings help you understand the complex dynamics that occur within family groups, and between individual family members. How do the charts interact? How do the individuals set each other off?

Family Coaching & Workshops

Family coaching and parenting workshops are available, if you are interested in more deeply exploring ways to support your children in becoming empowered and confident contributors to the world.

If there is interest, I will have a free introductory parenting lecture in Olympia late in July. If you are interested in attending, please contact me. sandra@MiracleInspirations.com
I am also available to schedule free introductory lectures in B.C. - Penticton, Kelowna, Oliver, and Osoyoos. Please contact me if you are interested. sandra@MiracleInspirations.com

Appointments -- Penticton, Olympia, Telephone, . . .

I offer Human Design readings, The Body Code/The Emotion Code, and Spiritual Response Therapy by telephone, Skype, and in person.

What is a Fractal in Human Design?

Do you always attract the same sorts of people? It is natural for us to associate with people who have interests that we share. If you look at your sphere of influence and your acquaintances, you may see consistent themes that are not really associated with your work or other interests.

In Human Design, the term fractal refers to something different than it does in mathematics and science. If you attract people into your life who have certain energetic qualities, we say that this is part of your fractal. Fractals can be short term, long term, and life long. An example will illustrate this for you.

A Fractal in My Experience

A few days ago, I had a Human Design booth at a Health Fair. I did forty-three mini readings. (That's a lot of interaction and conversation for me in one day!) As I approached the end of the day, I realized that I had spoken with an unusually large number of people with the following two channels: 43/23 and 57/34. I'll share more about the channels in a bit. So that day, I had a fractal for people with the 43/23 and for people with the 57/34. I don't know if anyone I spoke with had both channels.

On an energetic, auric level this means that I was attracting people into my experience who have these energies defined in their Human Design charts.

There are factors that have a greater influence on attraction, but those are topics for another day. I just realized that I haven't yet written about two important attraction topics: electromagnetics and family dynamics. There's so much to share!

Something to Learn

The School of Relationships is where we do most of our learning and growing. Fractals bring people with energetic and behavioral qualities that trigger opportunities for understanding ourselves, relationships, and life. Are you surrounded by argumentative or difficult people? Are you a magnet for people who seem to talk non-stop? What about people who are always coming up with new business ideas? These could be fractals for you. Bringing you understanding and skills through those relationships.

As a bodywork practitioner, frequently my clients have relationship themes that run throughout their entire life experience. Over and over again, they attract people who push them to learn their big lessons. These are fractals.

Not all fractals feel like 'problems'. You can have fractals associated with activities you enjoy, educational or spiritual interests, work, social groups. The possibilities are infinite.

Short term fractals, like mine at the Health Fair, provide opportunities to develop increased understanding about particular aspects of life. Some fractals last for a while, then end. What fun!

Individual Circuitry in Human Design

Let's talk about the 43/23 and the 57/34. These are both channels in Individual Circuitry. People who have a lot of Individual Circuitry are designed to be different. If you feel like you don't really fit into the group, and that your thoughts and ideas are different, you may have a lot of Individual Circuitry. These channels are auditory, meaning a lot of how these people process information is through sound.

One of the names for the first channel is a bit dramatic, but quite accurately descriptive. If you have this channel defined in your chart, please don't take the name personally.

43/23 Channel of Freak to Genius. People with this channel defined tend to have ideas that are different. Their ideas have the potential to change the world. Thus Genius. Without new ideas and new ways to do things, society might stagnate. So we need the 43/23.

What happens when a person who has a completely new idea about how to do something just starts telling everyone else what to do? People resist, right? When the 43/23 just spouts out revolutionary ideas, they may occur to everyone else as a freak. Thus we call the 43/23 the Freak to Genius channel.

The 43/23 individual is particularly prone to just sharing their thoughts, frequently leading to less-than-satisfying responses from other people. All their ideas are eager to be expressed through the Defined Throat Center.

According to Human Design, everyone is designed to be asked for their wisdom. 

This is true for everyone, whichever of the five Human Design Types they are.

Life works most smoothly for all of us, 43/23 individuals included, when we wait to be asked for our thoughts - as ideas, advice, wisdom, input, suggestions, feedback, . . .

The 43/23 is an auditory channel. This individual may hear voices, hear their thoughts and ideas. They may be so focused on the thoughts in their heads that they don't hear when other people are talking to them. If you want the attention of someone who has the 43/23 defined, it can be helpful to gently touch them before speaking.

As with all energies in Human Design, these are likely to be themes for you if the 43/23 is defined in your chart. This means that you may feel like you ARE this way, or possibly that you definitely ARE NOT this way. You may experience these aspects in positive ways, or in not-so-positive ways.
 

57/34 Channel of Power. This channel is more complicated to describe on the chart. Start at the top left corner of the Sacral Center, the red square, go up, and take a right angle turn down to the Spleen Center, the brown triangle on the left side of the chart.

There is power in the ability of the 57/34 to perfect sound. This is the most auditory of all the channels. These people may work with sound, with music. They may be particularly sensitive to pleasant, or to harsh, annoying, or out-of-tune sounds. This is the channel for clairaudience, intuitive perception through sound, including voices.

As with all energies in Human Design, these are likely to be themes for you if the 57/34 is defined in your chart. This means that you may feel like you ARE this way, or possibly that you definitely ARE NOT this way. You may experience these aspects in positive ways, or in not-so-positive ways.


My Day of the 43/23 and 57/34 Fractal

What had me notice the prominence of these two channels while at the Health Fair? The 43/23 is somewhat common to see defined in charts. In readings, I talk with clients about this channel relatively frequently. The 57/34 is significantly more rare. When I see it in a chart, I pretty much always ask the person if they are sensitive to sound. By day's end, I realized that I had seen an unusually large number of 57/34's. Then I noted that there had also been a lot of 43/23's.

When I thought about it, I recognized that Individual Circuitry people who have these life themes are likely to be interested in health fairs. They are likely to be creative, perhaps artisitic, perhaps into healing arts. They could be either exhibitors or visitors at such events. And they might be attracted to Human Design, which is a bit outside the norm. So it made sense. I had a booth at the same health fair in February, and was not aware of the presence of this fractal that day. So it was a single day occurrence. I enjoyed exploring it. It was particularly interesting to hear about the varied ways that sound is important to people who have the 57/34.

Have Fun with Your Fractal!

Your Unique Gifts - HD

Upon entering the room, he saw an old woman weaving at a loom. As he drew close, his eyes were caught by the cloth itself. The colors were infinitely varied, ranging from inky blacks to jewel blues and glittering golds. Textures were fine and silky, coarse and thick, sandpaper rough, and soft as a kitten's fur. Each pass of the weaver's shuttle laid in a thread, adding to the richness and depth of the tapestry.
     "Dear woman, what is it that you weave?"
     "Why, this is the fabric of life. As each living creature travels through its life, it is represented by a thread."
     Looking closely at the weaving, he could trace individual threads. He observed how they gathered together, creating the picture of the whole. Lifting his gaze from the loom, he saw bolts of fabric surrounding the loom, propped against the walls, and piled on shelves.

As a weaver myself, I will always remember this image from a novel by Orson Scott Card. When thinking about how to describe the unique and special contributions that each of us makes to the overall picture of life, I recalled this scene.

What quality, color and texture of thread are you contributing to the fabric of life?

What are You Here to Do?

That's THE question, isn't it? Each of us is on the planet to make a difference. We are designed with abilities, skills, and qualities that lead us to contribute in ways that are uniquely our own.

If you have participated in personal growth and success programs, you may have gone through exercises focused on identifying 1) your skills, 2) what you are an expert at, 3) the activities that cause you to lose track of time, and 4) what you love doing so much that you enjoy do it even when you are not receiving monetary compensation. You have probably sought to identify 1) your values, 2) your purpose, and 3) your mission statement.

In my opinion, these exercises theoretically point you in the direction of what you 'should' be doing to be successful. Personal growth programs then tell you to Just Go Do It.

Human Design & Your Gifts

Human Design takes a different approach. I do readings for many people who are seeking their perfect 'work'. Frequently, what we see in their Human Design charts coincides with what would show up on these people's numbered lists in the above-described exercises.

Human Design is not predictive. They tell you neither what you will do, nor what you 'should' do.

Human Design charts include all of the energies that are possible to experience during life as a human being.

The Centers, Gates, and Channels that are colored in your chart represent energies that you have, and/or themes that you are likely to experience in the course of your life. In Human Design, we say that these Centers, Gates, and Channels are Defined.

For more details about the energies within the Human Design Body Graph, I blogged several times about Human Design in November, 2012. There is also information about Human Design on my website,

Planets

What determines which energies are Defined in your Human Design chart? Each Defined Gate in your chart represents the position of a planet in the sky at the time of your birth. (Defined Gates are represented by colored 'lines' in the chart. It's more complex than this, but for today's discussion, this explanation will suffice.)

Before learning Human Design, astrology was the only system I had experienced that interprets planetary positions. My personal experience of astrology was that it had essentially no impact on my conscious life. Basically, I didn't believe interpretation of planetary positions could provide me with practically useful information.

Human Design has completely transformed my faith in planetary influences. As I do readings for family, friends, and clients, I am repeatedly surprised and amazed at how accurately Human Design describes people's lives and experiences of themselves. Planetary positions DO matter! It's been a stunning revelation for an astrology skeptic.

Your Time of Birth

I have found Human Design charts to be consistently accurate. Even when someone was born prematurely, by cesarean. Because one of my friends was born one minute after midnight, I figured that she purposely chose that time. Investigation indicated that had she been born an hour earlier, a significant energy in her chart would have been absent. She knew when she needed to be born.

I believe that each individual chooses their time of birth. 

Each soul has a plan for what they want or need to experience. They know which energies need to be represented by the planets in the sky. And the soul orchestrates the circumstances to ensure that birth occurs at that time.

Living By Design

Your soul KNOWS how you are here to contribute. It was part of your plan.

Human Design can't really tell you WHAT you will do. It can help you discover various aspects of what your expression of contribution is likely to look and feel like. A reading can describe a range of scenarios that could be possible.

The energies in your chart describe THEMES that you are likely to consistently experience throughout life. Some people think a lot, others tend to be creative. Some people have a lot of ideas, others like experimenting. Some people are nurturers, others are drawn to nature. Some people are leaders, others prefer solo pursuits.

All of the energies in your chart combine within your experiences. When you engage in activities that draw out your natural expression of these energies, you are living according to your design. 

You Attract Opportunities

On an energetic, auric level, you attract opportunities to fulfill your plan. Understanding your Human Design chart helps you recognize the opportunities when they appear. Your chart is like the blueprint for your life. It's up to you to follow the plan, . . . or not. You get to choose. But it's easier to follow the plan when you are aware that there IS a plan.

Human Design Readings

Would you like to understand the energies and themes in your Human Design chart? Would you like to explore the ways in which you express your gifts in the world?

Once you have had a basic chart reading, other types of readings can help you comprehend your design more deeply. Relationship readings help you understand the dynamics that you experience with other people. Of particular relevance to families are readings focusing on children's charts, and on family issues and dynamics.

Return readings help you recognize life themes that change over time. Solar returns describe annual themes. Then Saturn, Uranus, and Chiron readings show you the themes that come up as you age and mature. The time periods correlating with these planetary 'events' have the potential to be quite significant: late 20's, around 40, and around 50.
