If you’ve ever found yourself battling chronic blushing or struggling with social anxiety, it can feel like your body is working against you. I’ve been there. That overwhelming rush of heat to your face when you’re in a situation where you desperately don’t want to be noticed can make you feel out of control. But what if I told you that understanding your Human Design could offer you a path to regulate your nervous system and live in harmony with who you truly are?
What Is Human Design?
Human Design is a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakras to create a blueprint of how you’re wired to operate in the world. At its core, Human Design shows you your unique strategy for interacting with the world and making decisions, and it helps you understand how to flow with your natural energy instead of fighting against it. For those of us who experience chronic blushing, understanding our design can offer the tools we need to soothe our overactive nervous systems.
Living in Alignment to Soothe the Nervous System
Chronic blushing is often a symptom of being out of alignment with your natural design. When we force ourselves to operate in ways that don’t suit our true selves—whether that's conforming to societal expectations or suppressing our emotions—we create tension in the body. This tension manifests in various ways, often as anxiety or nervous system dysregulation.
Through my own journey with chronic blushing, I’ve discovered that learning about my Human Design has helped me understand why certain situations trigger me and how I can approach them differently. By understanding my strategy, I’ve been able to make decisions that are more aligned with my true self. I’m no longer pushing my body into situations that aren’t right for me, and that has made a huge difference in how I feel and how I react physically.
For example, in a previous blog post on aprilpoynter.com I shared how my creative energy often felt blocked or stifled because I was forcing myself into situations or ways of working that didn’t suit me. This led to feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and yes, even more blushing. But once I started living in accordance with my Human Design, my creative flow opened up. I started honoring the way I was naturally meant to move through the world. As a result, my body—and my blushing—calmed down.
You can read more about my experience here, but the key takeaway is that by living in alignment with my design, I’ve found a sense of peace and ease that I’d never experienced before. This alignment not only helps me as a creative but has also been a huge help in regulating my nervous system.
