The One New Year’s Resolution You’ll Never Break: Following Your Human Design Strategy and Authority
Ah, New Year’s resolutions. That sacred annual ritual of setting ourselves up for failure. Every January 1st, we swear on the freshly popped cork of a Champagne bottle that *this* will be the year we stick to the gym, eat only kale, and finally organize the junk drawer that has singlehandedly kept the elastic band industry afloat. And yet, by January 15th, we’re already spiraling—back in sweatpants, ordering pizza, and yelling “close enough!” at the chaos that is our drawer full of loose batteries and IKEA Allen keys. But what if I told you there’s one resolution you’ll never have to break because it’s not just for a year—it’s for life? Introducing: Following Your Human Design Strategy and Authority.
For the uninitiated, Human Design is basically the cosmic cheat sheet for how to live your best life. It’s like astrology, Myers-Briggs, and a dash of quantum physics got together and said, “What if we made life make sense?” Your Strategy is how you’re designed to make decisions in flow with the universe, and your Authority is your personal inner compass—like Google Maps, but for your soul. And let’s face it, the universe probably knows better than your brain about whether you should quit your job, start a kombucha empire, or swipe right on that guy whose only bio is “6’2, if it matters.”
So, why should this be *the* resolution for you? First, it’s zero effort. Following your Strategy and Authority isn’t about forcing yourself to become someone you’re not; it’s about leaning into exactly who you already are. Manifestors, stop waiting for permission to make big moves; Generators, trust that gut instinct; Projectors, rest more (yes, you have permission to nap!); Reflectors, go vibe-check the world. Unlike “go to the gym four times a week,” this is a resolution that works *with* you, not against you. Plus, there’s no guilt involved. If you mess up and ignore your Authority once, the universe isn’t going to send you a passive-aggressive notification like “So, how’s that sacral response working out for you?”
Second, following your Strategy and Authority eliminates decision fatigue. Instead of agonizing over whether you should accept your friend’s wedding invitation or finally confront your neighbor about their 3 a.m. karaoke habit, you’ll know exactly what’s right for you. It’s like having an internal Magic 8 Ball, except it doesn’t just say “Ask Again Later” when things get complicated. And once you start living this way, you’ll wonder how you ever survived making decisions without consulting your inner wisdom. “Oh, you mean I don’t have to crowdsource my life on Instagram polls anymore? Revolutionary.”
Finally, this resolution isn’t just a year-long challenge; it’s a lifetime subscription to being unapologetically yourself. It’s the resolution that keeps on resolving. When the next New Year rolls around, instead of scrambling to think of a new goal, you can smugly say, “Oh, I’m still on last year’s resolution. Following my Strategy and Authority is a full-time job.” And honestly, isn’t that the kind of commitment we all need—a resolution that grows with you, transforms you, and doesn’t care if you skip a workout? This is your invitation to ditch the kale and the chaos. Make this the year you live your design—and trust me, you’ll never look back.
