So beautiful Mailys I love hearing how eloquently you write about your process and where you're at right now. I resonate so much with a lot I what you're saying, and can feel your integrity ☺️ I also loved Lauren's Heart Work Devotional group, so potent.
Thanks a lot for your comment Jo 🙏🥰 I loved the group too and always find it so potent and useful to hear others’ experience. And Lauren has such a beautiful way to hold space.
EEEEE!!!!!! So excited for you, fellow projector!!! I've been following along with Lauren's workbooks too and can't wait to dive into the last one. I've been learning more about being a projector, and specifically an emotional projector and waiting is the name of the game for me. I've been waiting even with simple things like replying to text messages, and it feels so good and juicy, like something in my clicked that I no longer need to follow through if it doesn't serve me anymore, or even taking a month or more before replying to an email, simply because I need to sit with it more.
Self-recognition is probably the hardest part for me right now. My heart work is to share my experience of emotion through writing. Something here (not sure what) is hardwired to me and has always been my superpower. To see this and realize that and claim that has been cool and powerful and empowering. Waiting for the invitation means trusting that if something passes me by, it wasn't meant to be. And that's oddly reassuring. All this learning about me as a Projector has prompted me to write all about it, because what better way for allow myself to be visible! Also, it's okay to let people know how important recognition is for us and to ask for it when people authentically feel it. (More important is our own self-recognition, but it's also okay to ask for what we need!)
All this to say, I see you, you're doing a great job, and I welcome you to reach out to me if there's any way you need support as a Projector 🥰
Aww thank you Amanda! I see you too 😉 and I’m grateful for the reflection. As a fellow emotional Projector, I completely hear you on the ‘waiting’ part. Learning to be less impulsive and really sit with things before making a decision, especially big ones, has been a game-changer for me.
In terms of external recognition, what’s helped me is realizing that it often starts by allowing myself to be seen in energetically-aligned environments, and making my unique gifts and perspective visible enough so that the right people can actually recognize them. Because well, they can’t come to you and invite you if they have no idea you exist 😉 But like you, I still find that self-recognition is the hardest part. One layer at a time, right?
I have a lot of admiration for your approach - to take your time, think things through, explore how it all feels. I am definitely going through something with some similar aspects so thank you for the encouragement in this
Thank you Laura for these kind words 🥰 Clearly, taking my time isn’t my usual operating mode as patience isn’t my strong suit. But last year I started to feel that I needed to do things differently if I wanted a different result and long-lasting change. So I’m really trying to not only experiment, but also take the time I need to ‘integrate’ what I’m learning through it and what I’ve learned in the past. Honestly, I’m still struggling with the frustration to not move quickly enough - at least to my taste - but at the same time, I’ve never physically ´felt’ so sure to be heading in the right direction. My advice would be to trust yourself, and to have faith that if it’s the right thing/direction, it will happen when it’s supposed to happen.
Ahhhh my heart is jumping for you right now lovely, I’m so so happy this has all landed and it’s such a beauty portrayal of the spirals we explore when we are working in this way. So excited for your next phase xxxx
Thank you truly, again, for all you're offering Lauren. Your way to support and hold others is so authentic and exactly what I needed right now. I think I feel almost ready to go to the next phase of thinking about a branding for this next phase (today's visual exercize got me picturing many things, including something very much in line with the quote you shared in the WhatsApp group this morning, so I see it as a sign ;))
Ooooh I am so excited to see things coming to life visually. It’s been so wonderful to share with you. Genuinely nourishes my whole being doing this work xxxx
