Why Are You Rushing?

This time of year often comes with a lot of stress and pressure.

You may feel as though you're rushing from one thing to the next with all of the work and to-dos piling up around you.

I used to feel this way frequently. And not just at this time of year.  I felt like I constantly had more to do, was under pressure to get it all done, and couldn't rest or take a break until I did.

I'm sure you can guess what that was like. I never rested. I never took breaks. I pushed myself harder and harder. Until I couldn't. My body started breaking down and my health went downhill fast.

What I didn't know then was I have an open Root center.

Having an open root center means your adrenaline is constantly running on high unless you know how to turn it off. Your natural state is to do more and more, believing you can't stop until everything is done. So you constantly rush around because you feel pressured to keep going.

The open centers in your chart function as receivers. They pick up on the energy and influence of the people around you. It's one of the many reasons why understanding your unique Human Design is so helpful.

You learn the way you naturally respond in a situation so you can manage it better.

Now that I know I have an open Root center, when I start to feel pressured or rushed, I take a deep breath and remind myself it's normal for me to feel this way. I tell myself I'm not actually in a rush and there's no pressure for me to check everything off of my to-do list right this second. 

I still check things off my to do list. But I'm healthier. I feel better. I take time to rest when I need it. And I choose where and how to spend my time and focus instead of feeling like I need to do it all.
