Nicole Laino: Come here to become an unshakable human and build an unshakable business according to your human design.
0:17
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:21
Nicole Laino: Hello and welcome to Unshakable with Human Design.
0:24
Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and I'm so happy to be here with you today.
0:29
Nicole Laino: We're going to have a little bit of a different conversation here because I want to talk about a myth I think, that is out there that people, I think when we encounter human design, we initially think it will solve all of our problems, and in some ways it will, but it's probably not in the way that you're thinking.
0:47
Nicole Laino: And I want to talk specifically about creativity today and creativity and human design's place in us being more creative, in being able to things like if you want to write a book or a screenplay or you want to write a song, or you want to just be more prolific in what you put out in your business, whatever it is.
1:10
Nicole Laino: If you just want to feel like.
1:11
Nicole Laino: If you just want to feel like you are producing the things that they can come out of you, sometimes people will look to human design to figure out how it can make them more creative.
1:22
Nicole Laino: And I want to talk about a little bit of the myths that are around this and human design's actual place in the creative process and how it can support you, just like I said, probably in a way that you're not thinking about, probably differently than you think it will work.
1:39
Nicole Laino: Okay, so before we get started, I do just want to remind everybody, we do these masterclasses every single month inside the Human Design Authority Lab.
1:48
Nicole Laino: And this lab, this is our monthly membership where you can get coached by me.
1:53
Nicole Laino: You get VIP sessions with me, you get some human design content in there that's helping you build your business as well as build it with human design and build it in alignment with human design.
2:03
Nicole Laino: We have guest speakers come in, we have coworking sessions.
2:07
Nicole Laino: This is all about getting you in alignment so that you can be more creative, more aligned, more productive in a way that feels good and that's actually driving you towards something that's correct for you for versus just pushing through to get something done.
2:19
Nicole Laino: So it's awesome.
2:20
Nicole Laino: It is super cheap and you can get all of the info on it if you just go to nicolelaino.com lab or DM Me Lab on Instagram and we will send you the details There.
2:30
Nicole Laino: Okay, so let's talk about creativity and human design.
2:33
Nicole Laino: A lot of people have those dreams, especially if you resonate with wanting to be a thought leader.
2:38
Nicole Laino: It's like, well, how do I get my thoughts out?
2:40
Nicole Laino: And then maybe you go and you have a human design reading because you're trying to figure out what is my process for being creative, how can I do this?
2:48
Nicole Laino: Some people even go so far as to getting a reading to see, am I cut out for this?
2:54
Nicole Laino: And I don't necessarily look to the chart for stuff like that.
3:00
Nicole Laino: I don't look at the chart for like, is this right for you?
3:04
Nicole Laino: Because that's above my pay grade.
3:06
Nicole Laino: That's your life.
3:07
Nicole Laino: Don't give your power away to the chart.
3:10
Nicole Laino: Does it feel good?
3:11
Nicole Laino: Is this something that really feels like it's calling to you?
3:13
Nicole Laino: Can you trust that a little bit?
3:15
Nicole Laino: Every person has some element of creativity in their chart.
3:21
Nicole Laino: So if you're an emotional authority, you're going to be a very passionate person.
3:25
Nicole Laino: It doesn't mean that you will be creative in your output, but it could mean that anything could be interpreted in those type of ways.
3:33
Nicole Laino: If you have a motor to the throat, you're going to have initiating power.
3:36
Nicole Laino: So you might be able to start things.
3:38
Nicole Laino: If you are a manifester, you're going to be a trailblazer.
3:41
Nicole Laino: So new things are going to come out of you.
3:43
Nicole Laino: If you have individual energy in your chart, individual channels, then there's probably going to be something that needs to be born from you.
3:52
Nicole Laino: So those aspects, and I could name so many others, if you have a defined head center, then you're going to be thinking about things that eventually you will probably want to put them out in the world in some way, whatever that way is.
4:05
Nicole Laino: I don't know.
4:06
Nicole Laino: If you have the channel of talent, then you might have a talent for something artistic or creative.
4:13
Nicole Laino: We don't know.
4:14
Nicole Laino: Okay, I could go on and on.
4:16
Nicole Laino: I could list off.
4:17
Nicole Laino: You could make an argument for so many things in the body graph for being creative, because you know why?
4:23
Nicole Laino: Humans are meant to be creative.
4:25
Nicole Laino: That's what we're here for.
4:27
Nicole Laino: We are here to create things.
4:29
Nicole Laino: I'm creating something right now.
4:31
Nicole Laino: I'm creating this show.
4:32
Nicole Laino: The way I create is a little bit different than the way we'd think of creating.
4:37
Nicole Laino: I create kind of commentary.
4:41
Nicole Laino: I have responses to things, and then I look at the outside world and I take it in and I figure out how I think and feel about what's happening in the outside world, in the collective, because I'm a collective person.
4:57
Nicole Laino: And then I have thoughts, opinions, ideas, and things that I want to share with the rest of the world.
5:03
Nicole Laino: Because sharing is the keynote for collective energy.
5:06
Nicole Laino: We could make a case for it anywhere.
5:08
Nicole Laino: But that's not our job with human design, to make a case for us being able to do something or not necessarily.
5:18
Nicole Laino: So I wanted to get that out of the way because there are so many misconceptions.
5:23
Nicole Laino: Creativity.
5:24
Nicole Laino: This is, I think, the big rub here.
5:27
Nicole Laino: Sometimes people look to human design because the message with human design is human design will mean no resistance in your life.
5:35
Nicole Laino: That's not true.
5:38
Nicole Laino: It means less resistance in your life.
5:40
Nicole Laino: Less.
5:41
Nicole Laino: It could mean no resistance in your life.
5:43
Nicole Laino: But the no resistance in your life would mean that you're only following your alignment.
5:50
Nicole Laino: And so you're never doing anything that you should do.
5:53
Nicole Laino: You're never doing anything that you're obligated to do.
5:56
Nicole Laino: You are never moving without an invitation or recognition as a projector.
6:01
Nicole Laino: Reflectors are just sort of waiting out that 28 day cycle and that's a tall order.
6:08
Nicole Laino: Most people will not be doing this a hundred percent of the time.
6:11
Nicole Laino: So resistance is bound to creep up.
6:14
Nicole Laino: But it doesn't mean no resistance either.
6:16
Nicole Laino: It's what we're looking for is reduced resistance.
6:19
Nicole Laino: What humans get so stuck in is the fact that we're dealing with resistance all the time.
6:24
Nicole Laino: We don't even notice we're in resistance.
6:26
Nicole Laino: Life just feels hard.
6:28
Nicole Laino: Things just feel not possible for us.
6:31
Nicole Laino: Things just feel.
6:32
Nicole Laino: We end up bitter and we stay bitter.
6:33
Nicole Laino: We end up frustrated and we stay frustrated.
6:35
Nicole Laino: And we think that it's just life.
6:37
Nicole Laino: We blame it on the circumstances rather than looking at it and saying, oh, I have the power to change this.
6:44
Nicole Laino: When you start to feel what alignment feels like, when you start to not feel resistance, then resistance actually can be a flag for you.
6:52
Nicole Laino: This is why getting through that beginning part of the human design journey is difficult for a lot of people.
6:59
Nicole Laino: And it's important for everyone to get through that initial period of readjusting to this new way to opening up honestly to the fact that life can be filled with a lot less resistance than we are used to.
7:17
Nicole Laino: And it comes in these little pockets before you start to really feel what that's.
7:21
Nicole Laino: Which means you're fumbling around a little bit.
7:23
Nicole Laino: You're in your mind about whether you are in response or whether you are getting recognition.
7:28
Nicole Laino: Your strategy and authority is something that you have to think about versus something you feel into, which is really where we need to be in order for this system to work.
7:38
Nicole Laino: Now I know Ra would say that human design is so easy, it's so simple.
7:43
Nicole Laino: It is.
7:44
Nicole Laino: But we're not taught to feel, we're taught to think.
7:47
Nicole Laino: And this system is built on feeling, not on thinking.
7:50
Nicole Laino: So there's the problem.
7:53
Nicole Laino: So when we're talking about creativity, so people will come and they want to be creative and they look to human design, because human design says, okay, I'll experience less resistance.
8:04
Nicole Laino: So even if I don't think it'll be no resistance, it's less resistance, sure.
8:09
Nicole Laino: But here's the truth with this.
8:11
Nicole Laino: The truth is that creativity requires that you sit in resistance.
8:17
Nicole Laino: Typically, you have to be able to sit in the discomfort of seeing what's underneath and working through it.
8:27
Nicole Laino: Creativity isn't usually a smooth flowing process.
8:33
Nicole Laino: We hear these stories, of course, where if you listen to songwriters interviews and they talk about certain songs that are like magical songs, and they'll say, the song just arrived.
8:44
Nicole Laino: It was just like there.
8:45
Nicole Laino: It kind of came out in 20 minutes.
8:47
Nicole Laino: The whole structure of the song was there.
8:49
Nicole Laino: And then were just fine tuning it and making it, polishing it.
8:53
Nicole Laino: But like the song kind of wrote itself.
8:56
Nicole Laino: But even those people will tell you, yeah, that's super rare.
9:00
Nicole Laino: That doesn't happen very often.
9:04
Nicole Laino: They take work and not all of them work out.
9:08
Nicole Laino: And that is the tough part about creativity.
9:13
Nicole Laino: What human design can do for you in your everyday life is not necessarily taking away the resistance in the creative process.
9:24
Nicole Laino: The creative process inherently is with sitting with something even when it's not coming, or even with when it comes out and it comes out bad and being able to work with it.
9:38
Nicole Laino: Now, there are aspects of human design that make some people very good at that part.
9:47
Nicole Laino: To sit with something long enough for when it looks like nothing is there, for something to arrive, to sit with something long enough that you make it into what it became.
9:59
Nicole Laino: And if you showed somebody where it started, they would never believe you.
10:03
Nicole Laino: One of those is the channel of struggle.
10:05
Nicole Laino: The channel of struggle leading from the root to the spleen.
10:09
Nicole Laino: That channel is an individual channel.
10:11
Nicole Laino: It is the ability to struggle through the creative process.
10:16
Nicole Laino: So there is an element in the human design chart.
10:19
Nicole Laino: If you have that, then you have the ability inherent in you.
10:24
Nicole Laino: It's something that potentially can come naturally for you.
10:30
Nicole Laino: It is something that you have capacity for.
10:34
Nicole Laino: It's a potential for you.
10:36
Nicole Laino: Right?
10:37
Nicole Laino: But just because you don't have that, I don't have that, it doesn't mean that I can't be a creative person.
10:43
Nicole Laino: It doesn't mean that I can't write things.
10:45
Nicole Laino: I can pull the charts of a hundred artists that don't have that channel.
10:52
Nicole Laino: So there is no one element that means yes you will be, or yes or no, you won't be.
10:57
Nicole Laino: And I can pull a thousand charts of people who are not creative, who have it right.
11:06
Nicole Laino: None of this stuff is means anything until we put a person behind it.
11:11
Nicole Laino: And so if that person, if someone carries the channel of struggle, then they have the potential to be able to sit with something long enough for something to emerge.
11:22
Nicole Laino: If they feel like it's their purpose, if they are a generator, then they also have to have the desire.
11:28
Nicole Laino: It has to be something that turns their motor on.
11:30
Nicole Laino: They have to be excited about the process.
11:32
Nicole Laino: At least.
11:32
Nicole Laino: They have to be able to be like yes and follow the yes, not the mind saying, I need to write something so that I can be worthy and I can be an artist and I can be this.
11:44
Nicole Laino: It has to come from something that feels like a yes for them.
11:49
Nicole Laino: For a projector, it might be.
11:50
Nicole Laino: This is what I want to be recognized for.
11:52
Nicole Laino: I'm going to get so darn good at this.
11:54
Nicole Laino: Nobody's going to be able to ignore me.
11:57
Nicole Laino: I will be undeniable and I'm going to get good at it.
12:01
Nicole Laino: And I can sit here with this.
12:02
Nicole Laino: I can sit with the discomfort.
12:04
Nicole Laino: I can sit with the resistance.
12:06
Nicole Laino: The human design process supports the right things coming through for us.
12:12
Nicole Laino: The right things.
12:14
Nicole Laino: It doesn't mean everything will always be easy.
12:17
Nicole Laino: Alignment doesn't mean that alignment means correct for you.
12:21
Nicole Laino: I have clients that come to me and we work together on creative projects all the time.
12:27
Nicole Laino: And I do have to remind people and I remind myself.
12:30
Nicole Laino: Creativity in the creative process is uncomfortable.
12:35
Nicole Laino: It is about sitting in resistance.
12:38
Nicole Laino: It is about sitting in discomfort.
12:40
Nicole Laino: But our process with human design can smooth this out a little bit.
12:45
Nicole Laino: So let's talk about what human design's role is or the place of our human design process and how it can help our creative process.
12:54
Nicole Laino: By knowing yourself, you can know what not to do.
12:58
Nicole Laino: First of all.
12:59
Nicole Laino: So one, I know that as a manifesting generator, I have to work with my sacral energy.
13:06
Nicole Laino: If my sacral is off, then I can sit in discomfort all I want.
13:10
Nicole Laino: And I'm just going to be frustrated.
13:12
Nicole Laino: So I need to turn it on with something.
13:14
Nicole Laino: I have to be having fun.
13:16
Nicole Laino: I have to have a good time.
13:17
Nicole Laino: I might even need some distractions.
13:19
Nicole Laino: But maybe I'm containing myself in a room with some distractions that are just going to kind of keep the motor running but not distract me completely where I'm taken out of it.
13:28
Nicole Laino: I'm not going to go fold laundry necessarily in the living room.
13:32
Nicole Laino: If I know I need to do something in my office.
13:34
Nicole Laino: If I'm in my office, then it's like, oh, maybe I do something here and there's something that I pick up that makes me feel good.
13:40
Nicole Laino: Maybe I use my singing bowls or something and I just kind of get myself into a vibe.
13:44
Nicole Laino: This is where vibes come from.
13:46
Nicole Laino: This is where lighting candles and doing things that make you go as a generator can help.
13:52
Nicole Laino: I know that my variables that when I try to think about what I need to write or produce, it doesn't really work that way for me.
14:04
Nicole Laino: I need to be in relationship to things.
14:06
Nicole Laino: So maybe I'm going to have a call with a friend that I'm going to keep to 20 minutes and I'm going to talk about it.
14:11
Nicole Laino: Maybe I'm going to sit with my husband in the kitchen and talk about what I want to be doing.
14:16
Nicole Laino: Maybe I'm going to have a partner in this creative project because I'm a split definition and that helps.
14:23
Nicole Laino: Maybe I'm going to go and play with my environment of my mountains environment, and I'm going to open up my energy that way.
14:31
Nicole Laino: I have a client this week that came in and she said, you gave me that tip about my environment.
14:37
Nicole Laino: And it blew my mind how easy it was.
14:41
Nicole Laino: And I was making sitting in my environment actually a reward because it's a place in her house that she made her environment and it suited her human design environment style.
14:53
Nicole Laino: And she's like, yeah, I would tell myself I could sit there after I worked, and instead I went out there and I worked.
15:00
Nicole Laino: And she's like, and it was so much easier.
15:01
Nicole Laino: It was all starting to flow.
15:04
Nicole Laino: That's what human design can do.
15:05
Nicole Laino: It can soften the edges of this, it can smooth the path for sure.
15:11
Nicole Laino: But you still have to walk it.
15:14
Nicole Laino: You still have to show up.
15:17
Nicole Laino: You still have to accept that birthing something is a mutation.
15:24
Nicole Laino: It is a change.
15:26
Nicole Laino: I didn't have resistance in my pregnancy when I was pregnant, but my body changed.
15:32
Nicole Laino: And it wasn't always easy and I'm happy I did it, but it wasn't an easy process.
15:38
Nicole Laino: It was a lot.
15:39
Nicole Laino: And I would do it over and over again in a heartbeat because of what I got for it.
15:44
Nicole Laino: Creativity is like that.
15:46
Nicole Laino: This is a birthing of something that you are looking to pull out of you.
15:51
Nicole Laino: And human design can tell you how to open yourself up so that the channel is open for something to flow in and flow out.
15:59
Nicole Laino: And it can tell you how to remove resistance and how to set yourself up in your environment.
16:03
Nicole Laino: Of how do I access my information?
16:06
Nicole Laino: How do I access my genius?
16:08
Nicole Laino: How does it naturally come out of me?
16:10
Nicole Laino: And you might have to try some really unorthodox and different ways of producing this.
16:17
Nicole Laino: If you're sitting at a desk in the same spot every day and trying to make it happen and it's not happening, maybe there's something very counter to your design in that setup.
16:29
Nicole Laino: And how awesome would it be if it were that easy, right?
16:32
Nicole Laino: Let me change my environment.
16:34
Nicole Laino: Let me just have a friend ask me some questions.
16:36
Nicole Laino: Let me change how I'm relating to the information.
16:39
Nicole Laino: Let me change how I'm doing this.
16:40
Nicole Laino: Maybe I'm going to talk it out first, because I have a motor to the throat and it's easier for me to speak things than it is for me to write things.
16:49
Nicole Laino: That is how we work with this, and that's what human design can do.
16:54
Nicole Laino: So it is a magical system that truly can help.
16:58
Nicole Laino: It's just probably not going to help the way that you think it will.
17:01
Nicole Laino: It's not going to give you some magic pill, necessarily.
17:04
Nicole Laino: It gives you ways to work with yourself, and you have to feel into those.
17:08
Nicole Laino: You have to experiment.
17:10
Nicole Laino: You have to try things and try them in different ways.
17:14
Nicole Laino: I have a mountains environment.
17:17
Nicole Laino: Sometimes things work for that are very simple, like being on a high floor somewhere.
17:22
Nicole Laino: Sometimes they don't.
17:23
Nicole Laino: Sometimes that particular environment isn't for me.
17:26
Nicole Laino: If I were to pass judgment one of them that didn't work, then admit all the ones that did.
17:31
Nicole Laino: I need to have a bigger sample before I said, no, this doesn't work.
17:34
Nicole Laino: Right.
17:35
Nicole Laino: I need to go sit on seven rooftops and have it not work.
17:38
Nicole Laino: And then say, yeah, I don't think that this is going to work for me.
17:41
Nicole Laino: We have to be open to playing with the process.
17:44
Nicole Laino: This is an experiment.
17:46
Nicole Laino: This is a living thing that you are in relationship to.
17:51
Nicole Laino: You're designed to the outside world.
17:54
Nicole Laino: And when we become really in tune with what turns us on, what turns us off, what puts up a roadblock, what opens the door, then we can really start to have fun with life.
18:07
Nicole Laino: When you're having fun with life, your channel is going to be open.
18:10
Nicole Laino: You are going to see more things flow.
18:13
Nicole Laino: Why?
18:14
Nicole Laino: Because you aren't contracted.
18:17
Nicole Laino: Making anything come through something that is contracted is hard, right?
18:22
Nicole Laino: So being expanded and being open is where flow comes from.
18:28
Nicole Laino: And we all want to be in flow, right?
18:31
Nicole Laino: So I hope that you enjoyed this episode.
18:33
Nicole Laino: I hope that it inspires you to sit with the discomfort but work with your design at the same time.
18:39
Nicole Laino: So that discomfort can just be the creative process doing what it is, doing what it does and how it does it.
18:45
Nicole Laino: And you aren't experiencing resistance in any other way that you're opening the channel in every other way that leads to fun.
18:53
Nicole Laino: With this process versus frustration.
18:56
Nicole Laino: You have to be able to look at the creative process creatively.
19:00
Nicole Laino: Can you look at it from a different angle and say like maybe it doesn't have to be this way.
19:04
Nicole Laino: That has felt so hard and your design can point you in the directions that might be the best way for you to experiment.
19:12
Nicole Laino: Like my client with her environment.
19:14
Nicole Laino: And that is one of the things that can be One of the easiest ways to play around is with environment.
19:19
Nicole Laino: Look at your human design environment and then go sit in one of those places, a place that fits that style of environment.
19:27
Nicole Laino: See what it does to you.
19:29
Nicole Laino: Notice if you're a split definition, don't try to do things by yourself.
19:33
Nicole Laino: Try either enlisting somebody as a partner or go to a public place and go experience the energy of other people and see how it suddenly will connect and give you different access to parts of yourself that you don't normally have access to consistently.
19:52
Nicole Laino: It's fun, right?
19:53
Nicole Laino: It really can be.
19:55
Nicole Laino: I hope you go have some fun with it.
