Align With Your Responsive Nature

As a Generator, your Strategy is to respond to the things, people, and opportunities that manifest in your reality.

I don’t see this as “waiting” like so many others do.

What it’s really about is trust, presence, listening, and receiving.

If you make the conscious choice to be present in your reality, you’ll realize that there’s an abundance of opportunity waiting for you to respond and take action. You just need to be an active observer.

Find Work That Lights You Up

Generators are designed to be lit up by their life’s work.

When you’re doing something that truly satisfies you, you radiate that energy out and you become a magnet for more joyful, incredible opportunities. You (along with Manifesting Generators) have the most magnetic aura of all the Energy Types as long as you’re satisfying it with enjoyable, engaging, and fulfilling work.

Deepen Your Relationship with Your Sacral Center

Your sacral center is a powerhouse of life force energy — and it’s also a reliable navigation system.

Your gut has a response to everything. And it knows what’s right for you. If it feels lit up and expansive, it’s likely conveying a “yes” and if it feels dim and contracted, it’s likely a “no.” But work with your sacral/gut response and get to know the physical and energetic sensations that come along with its “yes” and its “no.”

Note: if you have an Emotional Authority, you can still use your gut as a navigation tool but especially for bigger decisions, ensure you wait until your emotional wave has passed and you’re in a place of neutrality before making a final decision.

Use Frustration as a Realignment Tool

Befriend your Not-Self theme of frustration. When you feel frustration, it’s your body’s way of telling you you’re out of alignment with your truth.

Perhaps you’ve committed to a project that isn’t giving you a sense of satisfaction, and you need to move on. Or perhaps you’re in a relationship that isn’t in alignment with the person you’re growing into. Or perhaps you’ve been overworking yourself and you need some rest.

Whatever the reason, notice the frustration and correct your trajectory.

Be Mindful of Your I Shoulds

Generators are known for their generosity when it comes to their energy.

“I should just do this myself.” Sound familiar?

But this can lead to burnout if you’re not mindful of how much energy you’re expending on other’s responsibilities. Think mom cleaning up her teenager’s room after he rushes off to school each day.

Small tasks (that actually aren’t yours to do) can add up and deplete your life force energy, in turn dimming the brilliance of your aura and causing you to move into your not-self theme of frustration.

Create boundaries where needed and stick to them.

Learn to Watch for Signs and Signals

Oh, the signs! As a Generator, you’re designed to pick up on the signs and respond to them with action.

Ensure that you’re mindful and present so you don’t miss the signs and signals coming your way.

This doesn’t only mean in physical reality but also signs from your guides and angels. For example, you’re thinking about something and see a flash of light peripherally or you hear a particular word clairaudiently.

The key here is to receive the sign, then tune into your gut and intuitive knowing to ensure that you have the green light to react.

Be Patient with Plateaus

Plateaus happen. They’re natural. And they allow you to reignite your energy.

When you feel like momentum is paused or stuck, become more present with your environment.

Watch for any signs and signals and trust that the input, insight, opportunity, or instructions will come so you can respond and move forward.

Release Energy Before Bed

Whether you do some restorative Yoga, go for a jog, or practice Qigong, moving excess energy out before bed will help you fall asleep faster and deeper.

You’re designed to go to sleep when you’re tired. Trying to sleep before that will likely be unsuccessful and cause frustration.

Recognize When You Need Rest

There’s so much written about Generator’s strong life force energy, but burnout is still a thing for Generators. And it can be more difficult to see it coming for sacral Energy Types like you.

Tap into your body often and notice if you feel the energy flowing from a place of ease or flowing from a place of adrenaline. And start recognizing your body’s clues that you need a break.

Do a Satisfaction Audit

How satisfied are you in various areas of your life?

Partnership → 1-10

Friendships → 1-10

Family dynamics → 1-10

Career → 1-10

Hobbies → 1-10

And is any area a source of frustration? If so, why? And what can you do that will create more satisfaction? Changes don’t have to be extreme, baby steps will eventually get you back into alignment.

Wishing you so much satisfaction, alignment, and love!
