Navigating the Energetic Terrain: Embracing the Wisdom of a Post-It Note

A pink post-it with a handwritten message: "Just because you can doesn't mean you should," adorned with a small heart symbol at the top.

Life comes full circle.

This morning, I revived a practice I had let go of during the COVID-19 pandemic: a weekly Post-It Note to myself. A love note, a reminder, a touchstone, strategically placed where I couldn’t miss it – the bathroom mirror. Yes, I’m that person who gives themselves pep talks every time they wash their hands. As a woman nearing 50, bathroom breaks are frequent – If You Know, You Know! In this post, I share the significance of the first Powerful Post-It this morning and why embracing its wisdom is a game-changer.

In the intricate journey of self-discovery, Human Design lights the way. One powerful concept stands out among its many gems: “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.” This principle is a beacon for setting boundaries, preserving energy, and breaking free from others’ projections. As we embark on this transformative journey, let’s dive into the essence of this guiding mantra and uncover its profound wisdom.

Human Design, a fusion of ancient wisdom and modern science, guides us to our authentic selves. Drawing from astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the chakra system, it decodes our energy blueprint, revealing strengths, challenges, and the path to personal growth. My work with Human Design opens doors to deeper conversations and authenticity, tapping into inner wisdom for soulful seekers and soulpreneurs.

This guiding principle drives home a universal truth – the importance of discernment in our actions. Human Design calls us to honor our energetic boundaries and make decisions aligned with our true nature.

Why “Just Because You Can Doesn’t Mean You Should” is powerful for soulful people:

1. Preserving Energy for Authentic Desires:
Embrace that doing something doesn’t mean it aligns with your deepest desires. Distinguish between what you can do and what resonates with your authentic self, conserving energy for endeavors contributing to your growth.

Personal Reflection:
Recognizing when to say no redirected my energy to projects speaking to my soul, leading to a more fulfilling existence.

2. Deconditioning from External Projections:
Human Design sheds light on the impact of societal conditioning. “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should” is your tool for shedding external projections. It helps you hold strong in who you are and who you are meant to be.

Real-Life Application:
If societal expectations push you toward a certain career, question its alignment with your true purpose.

3. Trusting Intuition and Aligned Decision-Making:
At the heart of Human Design lies intuition’s wisdom. Embrace the principle, tap into your intuitive guidance system, and make decisions resonating with your unique design.

Guiding Light:
As a business coach, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of aligned decision-making. Trusting your intuition leads to professional success and profound personal fulfillment.

In the tapestry of Human Design, the “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should” post-it, strategically placed, emerges as your guiding star. Navigating life’s energetic terrain, this principle becomes your compass, helping set boundaries, preserve energy, and liberate from external expectations.

You embark on a transformative journey by integrating this wisdom into daily life. Empower yourself to make decisions aligned with your true nature, fostering a life rich in purpose, fulfillment, and the authentic expression of your unique gifts. If this principle resonates, why not post it in your bathroom, kitchen, or car – anywhere you’ll see it.
