How well do you know yourself?

Are you and you best friends?

Or… do you feel at odds sometimes?

Do you get down on yourself because what seems to work for other people doesn’t work for you?

You read all kinds of blogs. Take tons of courses. Follow the instructions to the detail.

But, it just doesn’t seem to work for you…

Here’s a secret: everyone is a little different. And what works for some people, doesn’t work for others.

I know, it’s crazy, right?!!

So, how well do you know yourself?

It was recently affirmed for me that the best way FOR ME to make shit happen in my life is to not try! To just relax and do other stuff that makes me feel good. This is pretty much the OPPOSITE of what Western culture tell us we should do. And is also EXTREMELY HARD for me to do. It brings up a lot of guilt and challenges my core belief that says ‘in order to get something you want, you have to TRY REALLY HARD!!!’

But, the thing is… it works.

I learned that from checking out my Human Design chart.

There are many facets to each of us and the better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to do the things that help us get shit done and bring us the successes we want.

Plus, the better you’ll feel.

I’m kind of a personality test, birthdate based chart thingy junkie.

I’ve learned so much about myself from these things!

There’s Human Design. If you’re curious what your Human Design has to say, go here or here.

There’s astrology. You can get your chart here. There’s so much more to astrology than your sun sign! Molly Hall has a lot of great articles here.

Then there’s Strengths Finder.

And The Fascination Advantage Test.

Enneagrams. (watch out, this one made me cry!)

Archetypes.

And let’s not forget good ole Myer’s Briggs!

Of course, there are many many more than these. And even within these, you’ll find certain aspects are more prominent than others. For instance, I am completely moon centric and I find that following the moon phases really helps me understand my moods and what’s going on in my life.

The way all these different parts of you come together is what makes up your WEIRD!!

The point is… PLAY WITH IT! Give yourself some time to learn more about you. You just might find the keys to your next career move or an explanation to why you always love to lay in the grass and stare up at the sky.

How do you feel about personality tests and birthdate based charts??
