Tired Teacher? Try a Reset Ritual that Actually Works for Your Energy.

You've probably tried all the usual advice for burnout: take deep breaths, drink more water, "leave work at work." While these tips are well-meaning, they don't always work… mainly because they don't take into account your energy. And if you're showing up day after day for your students, your classroom, and your community, you deserve a reset that actually honors the way you operate.

That’s where Human Design comes in.

What Is Human Design?

Human Design is like a blueprint for how your energy is meant to move through the world. It combines elements of astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system, and quantum physics to give you a personalized map of your energy. Sound too “woo woo” for you? Don’t worry, you don’t have to ‘believe’ in anything. This information is focused on how you restore and respond. Notice what resonates for you and your lifestyle.

Human Design might help you:

  • Make aligned decisions

  • Realize where you may be taking on energy that's not yours

  • Learn the best way to work, rest, and recharge

For teachers, Human Design is especially helpful because it gives you permission to honor your natural rhythms, even in a world that often pushes you to do more, give more, and rest less.

Generator: Return to the Spark

Reset when: You feel drained, stuck, or like you're running on fumes.

  • Put on one song you love.

  • Move freely: sway, bounce, dance, or stretch.
