If you're like me and constantly flip-flop, then this one is for you.

As a wellness practitioner I wish I had learned this technique earlier. Don't make the same mistake as me.

Okay, so I am in the middle of a deep iteration cycle right now. A new project, idea or branding message every single day for at least a month now, and it’s getting tiring…

It’s incredibly frustrating to constantly feel like you have no idea what you’re doing.

I’m going to get woo on you for a minute. Let’s talk human design. If you’re unfamiliar with it, here’s a good explanation off the top of my mind… It’s like a personality test based on where and when you were born. The idea is that you have certain ways you’re designed, and those play into how you operate and show up in the world. For me, I’m a 1/3 Splenic Projector.

So for me to be my best, I need an invite. I am then constantly testing things and pivoting based on the feedback.

If you’ve been following along for any amount of time, you’ve probably noticed my tendency to have a new project on the go as frequently as you brush your teeth.

It’s in my design to test and retest and pivot. I’m trying to remember that, but my god… It’s really frustrating to wake up nearly every day with a new idea and forget the last one like it never existed. I’m burning out, and looking for some help from you. If there was ever a time to share with me your thoughts, today’s the day.

Another gift my Human Design has “blessed” me with 🙄 is the need for recognition. And no, that doesn’t mean I need a pat on the head and to be told “good job.” I need to hear the good, the bad and the ugly. I crave constructive criticism as much as I crave praise. I can typically make better choices when I have the feedback that something is missing, y’know?

Now, all this frustration… ah… fascination… has led me into a shame cycle. I’m hating on myself for not “figuring it out” when in all actuality, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Instead of “flip-flopping,” I’m field testing. Which truly is fascinating.

Two re-frames today, and I feel better. Better enough to have written this anyway. I know I’m still mad that I can’t just pick a lane. Like super mad. And I know it’ll pass, and still it sucks to feel like you’re on to something and then, boom. Back to square one. And all because of your own, damn insecurities.

It’d be super helpful if you could take two minutes to make a comment or send me a message with just a quick note on why you come here to me. I want to know what I’m doing in the world that helps people, so I can keep on doing that.

Also, if you ever find yourself doing something like this, try the re-frame. Frustrated? Or Fascinated? Flip-flopping or field testing? Words are funny. Are there any tips or tricks that you’ve used to help you pick something and stick with it for 30 days?

Thank you so much for your grace and patience.

I’m bummed and scattered today and rest assured I’ll bounce back and be okay once I step away from “work.”
