The Beauty in "Waiting to Respond" - experiences from a Human Design Generator

As a Generator my strategy is "wait to respond." Oh, how hard that lesson has been... but at the same time how much life is opening up for me in more ease and flow.

We are raised in a society that teaches us to got out and "make it happen." The conditioning force is strong in the collective. But here's the thing only about 9% or the population is actually suppose to go out and "make it happen." Those are our Manifestors. Now the rest of us... the rest of us are suppose to wait. Wait to respond, wait for an invitation, wait the lunar cycle. Ugh, who wants to freaking wait!

I've been walking through my Human Design journey for almost 2 years now, and I'm just starting to get this "wait to respond" thing, and how it really does create more ease and flow in my life.

Let me give you a super mundane and everyday life example if the beauty in waiting to respond...

We've recently taken on the project of re-organzing the garage and bought all new totes from Costco since the old ones were faded, starting to break and because Ryan has that Outer Vision (he is designed to like what he sees) and I feel that Lakshmi energy when everything looks pretty we bought all matching totes.

Well our old totes have been sitting in a pile in the garage. No real reason, I could have totally posted them on our local "Buy Nothing" group but I didn't, I waited... and Waited, and waited a little more (probably about 3 weeks) then yesterday one of my friends whose really active in the community posted that she is starting to collect good condition clothing to start a community clothing swap so that we can all get access to free cloths and especially serve the foster children in our community. Seriously can't tell you what a good person this women is!

So of course she's asking for clothing, but then she also was asking for storage totes and clothing racks. This was perfect, I was so glad I waited to respond. I messaged her right away that I had so many totes she could have.

Of course I could have gotten rid of all those totes much sooner (maybe) had I posted them, but I'm so happy I wanted to respond instead of taking immediate action. But me waiting, that allowed me to give those totes to an amazing woman with an amazing mission. One day I definitely want to run her design, totally curious if she's a Manifestor!

Just a simple every day example of how things naturally do work out when you wait to respond as a Human Design Generator energy type.

HI THERE FRIEND, I'M MALLORY!

Thanks so much for stoping by my little space here on the web and listening to my story! I can't wait to teach you everything I've learned over the years.

My biggest lesson has definitely been being a mom and it's still something I learn to navigate every day. As it turns out these little humans have a mind of their own, know what they want, and aren't afraid to whine at you until they get it, do ya feel me? In Ashtanga Yoga we call parenting 7th series because it is the hardest practice of them all. Now, I don't have a whole lot of parenting answers for you (still figuring all that out myself), but I can help with keeping your kids healthy! We want healthy kids because healthy kids are just happier kids and mama I know you want your kid to be happy just like I do.

When we first brought our son Eero home, I just felt lost. He was colicky, gassy, had a serve case of torticollis, and was just an all around unhappy baby. Being a first time mom and confronted with all of this was HARD and compounded by my own emotional issues lead to my PPD. The first 6 months of Eero's life was full of a lot of tears from both of us.

Then his first REAL cold hit and fever hit. I didn't feel prepared and didn't know what to do to help him. Everyone just kept telling me, oh just use Infant Tylenol and Ibuprofen, this just didn't sit right with me. I knew all I was doing was masking the symptoms and not actually helping his body to heal. My baby was in pain and I wanted to do everything I could to help his body be strong and fight. This lead me down a path of diving into natural remedies, learning how the body works, and ultimately empowered me as a mother to care for my babies.

Now I know what to do keep my babies healthy and I also have an abundance of tools to turn to when they are under the weather. I know longer have that panicked feeling when Eero or Emma spike a fever, I know exactly what to and it is my mission to help every mama feel confident in taking care of their families. There is truly so much we can do when we understand how the body works, even in simple terms and I can't wait to share it all with you!

I'm here for you, through the up and downs, tears and smiles, I will be here to help uplift and encourage you. Know you are not alone, in fact there is a whole community of mamas waiting for you to join us and go against the status quo. Our bodies are meant for health and our lives are meant for abundance.
