Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated to
0:05
helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to
0:09
flow without sacrificing results.
0:11
Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business
0:15
according to your human design.
0:17
I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:22
Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
0:26
I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and we are continuing our series on variable today.
0:33
So this is our third installment of four.
0:35
We've already done two of these episodes.
0:37
We've done them on human design environment, and we have
0:40
also done them on digestion.
0:42
But today we are going to focus on human design motivation.
0:47
Now, first, let me start with introducing the variables in case this is the
0:50
first episode that you're jumping into this subject with us on, I want to
0:53
make sure that I'm just covering the basics and I'll make it different.
0:55
If you did listen to the other two episodes, I'm going to touch
0:58
on a couple of extra things for you so that this isn't too boring.
1:01
But what are the variables and why are they so important?
1:05
So this is something that I want to make sure also you're understanding that
1:08
following your strategy and authority.
1:10
Following the basics of your human design, deconditioning the shadows, the
1:14
openness in your design, all top priority.
1:18
The variables, they correspond to the arrows and the little
1:21
numbers underneath the arrows.
1:23
When you look at the human design chart, you'll see arrows on
1:25
either side of the head center.
1:27
Those arrows are what we're talking about.
1:29
We're talking about what's underneath them.
1:31
We've done an episode on the arrows before.
1:34
It's episode 129, which we'll link up in the show notes for you.
1:37
If you want to listen to that high level view that I gave of all of the arrows,
1:41
but now we're dedicating an episode to each one and what it signifies.
1:46
So this is something that we refer to as below the line.
1:49
So we have profile lines.
1:51
We all understand that if you've been following design for a while, you
1:54
probably know what your profile is.
1:56
I am a 5'1 you might be a 2'4 a 1'3 a 4'6 That would be your profile.
2:02
So those are the lines that correspond with your conscious sun and your
2:06
conscious earth and your unconscious sun and your unconscious earth.
2:09
That's where we get our profile from.
2:11
If you go a level deeper underneath that, if you take that line.
2:15
So if I take my fifth line, underneath it, there's another theme.
2:18
There's more themes under there.
2:19
There's not even just one.
2:21
Because it does get kind of complicated.
2:22
And that's not the goal here.
2:24
The goal is not to throw a bunch of human design jargon at you and be like,
2:28
Oh, you have to learn this thing too.
2:29
But what I think can really help us with design is understanding.
2:33
I think kind of at the core of what design does is it tells us
2:37
that there's nothing wrong with us.
2:38
It tells us how we were built on purpose, what our nature is.
2:42
And if we understand our nature, then we can understand how to work with our
2:46
nature and live true to our nature.
2:49
When we live true to our nature, our gifts come out.
2:52
We hone our gifts instead of fighting our shadows all the time.
2:56
We're able to put our gifts out in the world and we're able to walk
3:00
through the world and work through the world with less and less resistance.
3:04
And doesn't that sound good?
3:05
I love working with less and less resistance.
3:07
It's kind of what I dedicated my life to.
3:09
It's just, there's got to be a better way, and human design is that
3:12
better way, at least for me it is, and for the people that I work with.
3:15
Because it's tuning us into what we are meant to operate as, how we're
3:21
meant to operate, how we're meant to see, and that's what the variables
3:25
tell us at a very deep level.
3:27
This isn't the stuff that you're going to be necessarily trying to use all the time.
3:31
Some of them have a little bit more to do with awareness.
3:34
The last episode we did on environment, there's definitely more to it
3:38
that's talking about the physical environment that we're in, or the
3:40
quality of the environment that sets our nervous system at ease.
3:43
That might be the easiest one for us to figure out how to use.
3:47
Digestion does too.
3:48
The one we're diving into today is motivation.
3:51
And this is the top right arrow.
3:53
And this has to do with our mind.
3:55
Now we're getting to our personality.
3:57
We're not on that body side of the chart, the left side of the chart anymore.
4:00
That's unconscious to us.
4:02
That's the vehicle.
4:03
Now we're getting to our personality, to our mind, who we think we are.
4:06
When we get to that mind arrow at the top right, Motivation is about
4:11
what's actually motivating us.
4:13
What is really motivating us under the surface?
4:17
Now, if you want to dive, if you're loving this series, if you are hearing
4:20
truth in what we're talking about, I do encourage you, we did create a guide
4:24
for this, because I know that it's a lot of information, even to take in, in
4:28
these four episodes, even though we're dedicating one to each of these aspects.
4:32
We created a free guide for you so that you can follow along
4:35
and you can take this with you.
4:37
If you're interested in that guide, all you have to do is go
4:39
to nicolelaino.com/variables.
4:41
You can download it there or DM me on Instagram.
4:44
I'm @NicoleLainoOfficial.
4:45
Just DM me the word variables and we'll send it to you there.
4:49
We're also running a little contest.
4:50
I like to do this when we do these series because I feel like it
4:52
gives you a chance to really get in and dive deep with us on a topic.
4:56
If you share the show while this series is going on, And you
4:59
share it on Instagram and tag me.
5:01
Please don't forget to tag me.
5:02
You'll be entered to win a Human Design reading here on the show.
5:05
And all you have to do that is take a little screenshot, throw it up on your
5:09
Instagram, tag me, say what you're loving about the series, say what you're loving
5:13
about the show, what Human Design has done for you, what my work has done for you.
5:18
It could be any of those things.
5:19
Just tell us why design has really impacted your life or
5:22
what the show has done for you.
5:24
If you put that out there on Instagram and tag me, you'll be entered to
5:27
win the reading here on the show.
5:29
You'll get a little reading with me and you can come on the show
5:31
and we can talk about your design.
5:32
You can honestly ask me anything that you want about your design.
5:35
Okay?
5:36
So, all you have to do that is just share it on Instagram and tag me.
5:39
So let's get into this episode now.
5:41
Let's talk about human design motivation.
5:44
All of the variables are sort of these unseen guides underneath the chart.
5:50
There's the stuff that we're doing that sits on the chart.
5:52
There's the stuff that we can really dive into consciously.
5:54
This stuff is very much in the subconscious structure.
5:58
It's the underlying stuff.
6:00
It's no matter what is happening, whether you're in alignment or not, there
6:04
is a way that you are seeing things.
6:06
There is a way that you are motivated.
6:08
There is an internal drive that you don't really have control over.
6:13
It's the correct motivation for you.
6:16
And that's what this one is going to be about.
6:17
This one, what I recommend is you just start to be aware of it.
6:21
You just start to notice how it always at play.
6:25
And this is a real key for productivity for me, because I find that if we are
6:29
in our incorrect motivation or what we call transferred motivation, which
6:33
I'll talk about that in a moment.
6:35
Transferred motivation, if we're in that, then we can really feel like
6:38
we're facing rough, rough headwinds.
6:41
Like we are just fighting against the current and tremendous resistance that
6:46
slows us down, makes us frustrated and often confuses us because
6:49
we're like, why is this so hard?
6:51
It doesn't feel like it should be so hard.
6:53
And maybe it's not the thing you're doing.
6:55
Maybe it's what's motivating you to do it.
6:58
So this is something in coaching I can call these things out.
7:01
So I can notice if somebody is in their transferred motivation
7:05
and I will bring it up.
7:06
When you're doing this on your own, you kind of have to be
7:09
aware of that on your own.
7:10
And start to work with this.
7:12
And I'll talk through how you can start to notice these aspects.
7:16
Maybe when things have been easy, you've been in your correct motivation.
7:19
And when you have not found things terribly easy, you've found
7:23
that you've had some difficulty.
7:24
So I hope that this episode helps to point that out for you.
7:27
And certainly the guide, the free guide, will allow you to
7:30
kind of reflect on it a bit more.
7:32
But if you don't have your proper motivation, generally
7:34
everything just sort of feels off.
7:36
So like all of the variables, we follow the six line structure.
7:40
So there are six types of motivation.
7:42
There are intricacies and variables within this, but the main themes are these six
7:49
that I'm about to share with you now.
7:51
So the first one is fear.
7:53
Fear motivation.
7:55
Now, when people see that, they see like motivation is fear.
7:58
That doesn't sound great.
7:59
And really what it means is again, this is at the base.
8:03
This is our most primal.
8:04
This resonates with fear.
8:06
And when it resonates with fear, if you resonate with fear, I should say, then
8:10
you're motivated by security, by usually knowing a lot to feel more secure.
8:16
It's risk mitigation.
8:17
It is about really taking something and saying like, how do I make sure?
8:21
How do I prepare for the worst to happen?
8:25
That's fear motivation.
8:26
So you might find that that can be what drives you and you feel like you have
8:31
rocket fuel when you are in that state.
8:34
When you have that, I'm doing this to prepare for the future.
8:37
I'm doing this to prepare for the future You might find that that actually
8:41
really resonates for you and you notice that things are easier when you're
8:44
in that space There are ways that you have to work with this too so you
8:47
don't end up in nervous system freak out mode where you're in fight and
8:51
flight because you're actually afraid.
8:54
There is a nuance to this where you have to learn to work with it, where you
8:57
can say, I look at my old job in BCP.
9:00
I did disaster recovery planning for the bank that I worked at on Wall Street.
9:05
That was part of my job.
9:06
Was to put together the BCP plans, business continuity plans.
9:09
So if the shit hits the fan and we can't trade or a bomb goes off in New York City,
9:14
literally things that I had to plan for.
9:17
Dirty bomb goes off in New York.
9:19
What's the plan?
9:19
Now we weren't in fear of that happening, but that's an example
9:23
to me of how fear motivation works.
9:26
Here's the plan that we're going to enact and we'll have ready.
9:29
If things get really bad, that's the high expression of this.
9:32
I'll feel good if I have these things set up.
9:35
If I have my will prepared, then I feel good about that they my family be taken
9:39
care of if anything happens to me.
9:41
All of these things, fear motivation.
9:42
So it does not mean being fearful.
9:44
It means allowing yourself to have that foresight to look forward and say, how
9:49
do I protect myself from the future?
9:51
How do I protect my family?
9:52
How do I protect people from the future?
9:54
How do I stay safe?
9:55
And a lot of times this can be with knowledge and it can be with planning.
9:58
Okay?
9:59
The second motivation is hope.
10:01
These people are aligned with possibility and with potential.
10:04
It is essential that they tap into hope and tap into this idea of
10:10
I just know it'll all work out.
10:12
And again, I think that the second themes are always the least tangible.
10:17
And if you have a lot of second line themes in your design, then you got to
10:21
be really comfortable with just trust.
10:24
Trust and really feeling aligned with possibility.
10:28
Always seeing what could happen?
10:31
What if it all turned out better than I thought?
10:34
That's the motivation that you just start working and go towards something
10:37
just because it feels good and you believe that I'll either get the result
10:42
that I wanted or less than I need.
10:43
It'll all just come together.
10:45
I just know, I just know it'll be okay.
10:47
That's second line.
10:48
That's the hope motivation.
10:50
Now the third motivation is desire.
10:53
Desire, these are the people that are like, it's never good enough.
10:56
These are the people that are like in it for change, in it for transformation, in
11:01
it for achievement, progress, they want to make it to the top of the mountain.
11:05
These are the people that climb Everest, right?
11:06
They climb like one mountain, and they go, okay, I climbed that one,
11:09
now I gotta go to a bigger mountain.
11:11
And then I got to go to a bigger mountain and I got to go to a bigger mountain.
11:14
That's desire motivation people, the people who are just sort of
11:16
never satisfied with the status quo.
11:19
Now we want to make sure that we stay in a good space with that.
11:22
But it does have to come from pure desire for them.
11:24
That is correct for these people.
11:26
That is right for them.
11:28
So those people who have desire motivation that maybe feel like
11:32
it's never enough that they're striving to achieve something.
11:35
Now, we also want to balance this.
11:36
If you have an open ego, you don't want to be going out of trying to prove
11:40
yourself, but to recognize that you're always going to have a underlying
11:45
driving force of, I could get better.
11:48
It could get better.
11:50
I want the shiny thing.
11:51
That's okay.
11:52
I'm allowed to want those things.
11:54
But maybe your come from of how you go at it is coming from, if you're a generator,
12:00
it has to come from your sacral.
12:01
That the action still has to come from that place.
12:04
But don't get caught up in the conditioning of people
12:06
telling you that it's not great for you to want those things.
12:09
That it isn't right for you to feel like you want to achieve more.
12:14
That because you reached this level that you're looking to the next level already.
12:17
We want to balance it, but that is going to be correct for you.
12:20
The fourth motivation is need.
12:23
This is my motivation.
12:24
Need motivation is about meeting the needs, it's usually very
12:28
sensitive to the people around them.
12:30
When you sense that someone needs something, then it's
12:33
easy to shift into action.
12:35
And I'll give you examples from my own life here to paint the picture a bit.
12:38
But when you sense that somebody needs something, it's very easy for you to move.
12:43
When it doesn't feel like it's needed, it's like, I'm not doing anything.
12:46
It's very hard for me to get into action around something that just feels like, if
12:50
it's desire for me, it doesn't feel right.
12:53
Something about it just doesn't flow.
12:55
But if I get a sense, which is why I talk to so many people, which is
12:58
why I really pay attention inside my business by design mentorship.
13:02
What do these people need?
13:03
If I sense a need, I can pretty quickly get into action around delivering
13:08
on what it is those people need.
13:10
If I sense something is needed in my family, I take care of it.
13:13
That's just sort of a natural way of being for me.
13:17
And it feels good.
13:18
And it feels easy.
13:19
But if I have a big list of things that are on there just because I'm
13:23
afraid, just because I'm worried about if we don't do this, then
13:26
the next thing isn't going to come.
13:27
And then we're not going to be safe.
13:29
If I'm in fear, which is my transferred motivation, nothing
13:33
good happens in that space.
13:35
I don't do my best work.
13:36
It's harder.
13:38
I usually am off my path.
13:40
That is the thing that's sort of pulling me.
13:43
Where I'm not paying attention to my sacral, where I'm not really following
13:45
my strategy and authority, maybe where I'm not waiting because I'm afraid.
13:49
I'm afraid that it won't be enough, I'm afraid that we're not gonna make it.
13:52
So then I don't wait out my emotional authority enough, and I make an unclear
13:56
decision, and I start moving in a direction that's not right for me.
13:59
And it's harder, and the results aren't there, and I go, what happened?
14:03
Well a lot of times it's that, it's that I was moving by fear,
14:06
I was acting on fear, rather than really coming to, is there a need?
14:10
Do I really feel pulled by a need?
14:11
Am I sensing it?
14:12
Because it's a sense.
14:13
It isn't something, I don't even need to hear it sometimes.
14:15
I just feel.
14:17
And what's interesting to me is that I'll feel something.
14:19
I will feel called to create something, to do something.
14:23
A lot of times it starts with an episode on this show.
14:26
Like I start to just be in relationship with people and then I come to this
14:30
show and I'll do an episode and then someone in my community, before the
14:34
episode is even aired, will start talking about something and will start
14:37
sharing about something and it's exactly what I had on my heart to create.
14:41
So it isn't so much even that I'm hearing something and saying, oh
14:44
they need that and responding to it although that happens, so often what
14:49
I'm noticing is that I sense the need before it's presented to me directly.
14:54
So it becomes a very strong intuition.
14:57
So if you have desire motivation and you feel really in tune with
15:00
like, I just want that thing.
15:02
Can you really assess where that's coming from?
15:05
Can you sit with it and notice like, is this my intuition talking to me?
15:08
Am I being driven to do this thing?
15:10
Because it just feels right.
15:12
Again, nuanced here.
15:14
We want to be careful.
15:15
We're not just running hard in a direction out of our transfer
15:19
motivation or just out of impatience.
15:21
But this is how we start to work with these things.
15:23
We start to notice, we start to notice the quality of what we are being given.
15:27
And you notice, I said that I didn't say that I jumped in once I assessed,
15:30
I felt the need that I jumped in and started creating something.
15:34
No, I start with something like, I'm going to work this out on an episode.
15:37
Then I'm going to maybe bring this up in the group and then suddenly
15:41
the universe starts giving me all these things to respond to.
15:44
My intuitive guidance that's telling me this is needed.
15:48
I feel like I want to create this where it's an idea.
15:51
And then all of a sudden the universe starts giving me the
15:55
actual things to respond to.
15:56
And I'm a manifesting generator.
15:58
Now I get to see if my sacral's in and my sacral goes, Oh yeah.
16:01
And then I can create it and I can create it quickly.
16:04
And it's easy.
16:04
That's how this works.
16:06
Okay.
16:06
The fifth one is guilt.
16:08
So if you have guilt motivation, again, another one, this is sound terribly great.
16:11
Your motivation is guilt.
16:13
But really what this means is that guilt is what's driving you to fix something.
16:17
If you think about how guilt works, it's like, Oh, I can't
16:19
stop thinking about this.
16:20
I feel so bad.
16:22
I wish there was something I could do, right?
16:24
That's sort of how guilt works.
16:26
You know, I'm so sorry.
16:27
I wish there was something I could do.
16:29
That guilt, right?
16:31
It's that kind of guilt.
16:32
It's not shame, which is different.
16:34
Guilt and shame are first cousins, but they are not the same thing.
16:38
So that guilt, that feeling is how you take responsibility
16:42
and you try to fix that thing.
16:44
That's what it is meant to do.
16:45
So if the thing that you're feeling bad about, if the thing that's like
16:48
kind of like on your heart, you're just like, Oh, I just want to fix this.
16:51
I just want to find a solution for this.
16:53
I just want to find a way to make this better.
16:55
That's what is meant to drive you.
16:57
That is the underlying theme of all that drives you.
17:02
It colors your whole chart.
17:04
That's the thing about the variables is it's called color.
17:07
Motivation is called color, environment, color.
17:10
These are the colors of our chart and this colors the whole chart.
17:15
Okay.
17:15
And then we have the sixth one is innocence.
17:18
Now Innocence it's really about the big picture.
17:21
It's really about seeing things and saying, this just needs to be done.
17:25
I don't know why I want to do it, but it just feels right.
17:29
And it doesn't feel right from a selfish, egotistical place.
17:32
It's like, this is just what's needed for the community, for
17:37
the world, for consciousness.
17:39
That's, we're getting into this.
17:41
This is the top of the food chain in that respect of the consciousness food chain
17:45
is the innocence motivation to just say, I'm just going to do this because I want
17:50
to bring people together and I think it's the right thing to do right now.
17:54
And to really be aligned with that, I have to bring this to the world, right?
17:59
Now under motivation, there's also something we call transferred
18:02
motivation, which is the opposite of your correct motivation.
18:05
And that is the thing that tells you, so of course if you're not in innocence,
18:10
then you want to pay attention to that.
18:11
But there's going to be one, again a polarity.
18:14
They are something that pull at the other side.
18:17
So there is one that will always be the strongest.
18:20
And if you're in your transferred motivation, everything's
18:23
just going to feel harder.
18:24
You end up far off your path.
18:27

Thank you guys so much.
19:05
I hope that you're finding this series interesting, I hope that you're finding it
19:08
useful, and I hope that it's piquing your curiosity about how these are the things
19:13
that are like the unseen drivers of us.
19:16
It's the lens, it is the color, it is the tint of our lives.
19:20
And it can give us even a deeper glimpse into how to really nurture ourselves.
19:26
And how to take correct action, but also make sure that we are moving in
19:31
flow as much as possible in our lives.
19:33
We could do that through our place, with the environment, we can do
19:36
that through our food, and the way that we digest information and life,
19:39
and information with our digestion.
19:42
We can understand what's really driving us, and then the next episode we're
19:45
gonna get into perspective, our view.
19:48
How we're meant to see the world.
19:50
And this one I really find is very helpful in understanding people.
19:53
I think motivation and perspective, because they sit on the personality
19:56
side, we can really understand why people do what they do, why they
20:00
see things the way they see things, why they operate the way that they
20:03
do, why they're different from us.
20:05
And why they might seem so similar in some ways, but they're like,
20:07
I just don't understand why they always just see that same thing.
20:10
Well, the next episode, we're going to dive into all of that.
20:12
So I hope you enjoy that one too.
20:14
