Surrender to the Flow of Life
Are you resisting? Is that working for you?

Everyday Human Design is grounded spirituality for your everyday life. Many of us live lives somebody else decided for them. Human Design offers you a path to yourself and what you truly want. This newsletter is about how you get there.
If you’re new to the newsletter, you can sign up for it here:
Enjoy! - Johanna.
Do you feel comfortable following the flow of life? Or, do you claw back at it, holding on to what you think ought to happen?
Reading this, maybe you’re chuckling to yourself or rolling your eyes.
Surrendering to the flow of life. Yeah right, as if?!?
But, I’ve got stuff to do. I can’t just flow. Whaddyathink this is?
You can safely assume that if you had those thoughts, that was your ego and your mind whispering their little seductions to you.
You can gingerly ignore them.
You can feel the flow of life, when things are clicking. Everything is easier. Things get done without doing. Some of it is timing. A lot of it is you surrendering to your path.
Human Design is one of the ways for how you can get on your path. The inherent wisdom in the concept of Strategy and Authority, allows you to get out of your mind and let the wisdom of your inner compass take over.
When you do that, you are indeed surrendering to the flow of life.
I like how Ra Uru Hu, the messenger of the Human Design system, once said that when he surrendered to his Strategy and Authority, he found his life. It might take you in unexpected directions. AND, it will bring you where you’ll truly thrive, outside of the bla bla bla and shoulds you have absorbed about how you should live your life.
One of our ailments of humanity at present is that we’re living our lives according to what we think we should do. We’re homogenised, consuming, existing, and aspiring to the same ideals, irrespective of whether it does us any good or not.
If you look around, you can see that it’s not working, anymore. It feels like our societies, our way of living are on the verge of a collapse.
To me, this is a sign that what we’ve been doing is not sustainable, anymore.
We’ve been cut off from the flow of life. We may think that our mind is all there is. That we have to follow its logic and calculations, even if it drives us over the cliff.
Strategy and Authority surrender us to a calmer, deeper way of living. We can trust the wisdom of our inner compass much more than we think. It will get us where we need to go.
Let this be a reminder to check in with your authority and keep practicing it today. If you want a touch-up on how your authority works, check out this post.
Life is flow. Let it happen.
Johanna
PS: I Changed the Style and Name of the Newsletter
You may have noticed that the newsletter looks a little different now and has a different name. I left Substack - not feeling it, anymore. Beehiiv, my current platform works in the same way as Substack: You can read posts online and sign up for my emails.
Everyday Human Design is the title of a Human Design newsletter I wrote a while ago. I’ve revived it, because it fits my intent with my writing on HD very well. If you were subscribed to it back then, I’ve sent this new edition to you, as well.
