Are you feeling lost?
In a world where there is more chaos and uncertainty than clarity at the moment, I wanted to write a few words about feeling lost today.
No purpose
Anyone who has ever felt lost surely knows what a dark place in life that can be. Just writing the word “lost” gives me a tummy ache, to be honest. Because I have felt lost, and I am sure that many of you can relate as well.
When there is no clear purpose in life or no clear path to walk down, the chaos can come rolling towards you like fog in the forest. All of a sudden, you can’t seem to find your way, and moving backwards looks as hard as knowing in which direction to go next.
No matter what energy type you are, you have the possibility of feeling lost. And that means that you also have the possibility of finding your way forward.
From a Human Design Perspective
In Human Design, we talk about the importance of following your strategy and inner authority.
"You are here to bring something new into existence.
Trust in your inner authority and follow your strategy."
Ra Uru Hu, founder of Human Design
When we know our inner authority and strategy, we have a starting point to navigate our way out of the metaphorical fog we sometimes are in.
Energy Types and Strategy:
Manifestor’s strategy: Inform Before Acting
Generator Strategy: Wait to Respond
Manifesting Generator’s strategy: Respond, Then Inform, and Skip Steps Efficiently
Projector’s strategy: Wait for the Invitation
Reflector’s strategy: Wait a Lunar Cycle for Clarity
Inner Authority:
Emotional Authority (Solar Plexus): “Ride the Wave”
Sacral Authority: “Gut Response”
Splenic Authority: “Instant Intuition”
Ego Authority: “Heart-Driven Decisions”
Self-Projected Authority: “Authentic Expression”
Mental/Environment Authority: “External Clarity”
Lunar Authority: “Wait a Full Cycle”
Tap into your strategy and inner authority. Define what they mean to you, and connect with each of them in your body, and not just in your mind.
You can read more about strategy and inner authority in a blog post here.
Navigation
Navigating from the feeling of being lost can feel overwhelming in itself. Because when we are deep down into our darkest moments, it can even be triggering to hear someone tell us to follow our strategy.
As a projector, I have been asked, “Have you tried waiting for the invitation, Åse?”
Well, my response came pretty quickly, dripping with the famous projector bitterness:
“Excuse me, I have done nothing but wait for the invitation, and here I am, bitter as a lime, and no magic is happening here, whatsoever!”
Navigating our lives demands that we be honest with ourselves. We need to connect with the feeling of what resonates in our bodies. Our minds hold all the information from a mental perspective, but it is the feeling of resonance in our bodies that makes navigation easier.
Note that I wrote “easier” and not “easy”, because it most definitely is not easy.
Learning to trust your strategy and inner authority takes courage and time, but eventually, after some trying, failing, and learning we have the possibility to get the hang of it.
The Wisdom of Life
There is a well of potential wisdom from daring to be lost and looking for a way out of it. It often involves pain, and most of us are not hardwired to embrace the pain that we know is waiting ahead. But the pain comes with a prize when we are brave enough to go through the learning that leads us on our path.
Trust that even if you are feeling lost right now, life has more to offer you. It will not be served to you on a silver platter, but it is available to you in the shape of wisdom and clarity.
Start small. Get to know your energy type, strategy, and inner authority. Take baby steps. It is consistency that will get you closer to your purpose, and not taking a giant leap forward now and then.
