This is a newsletter with energy management tips for Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors. If you’re a Generator/Mani-Gen, it will help you understand the non-sacrals in your life better.

Hiya,

I was on a call with a Projector today. It was a real bonding moment, when we shared our frustration about watching the world around us do things, while we felt drained all the time.

It’s painful when it feels like you can never keep up and are missing out on life. I remember distinctly how envious I often felt of my roommates who were living it up on the weekends. I, in turn, felt a primal need to sleep, recharge, and take it slow with walks, art shows, and reading at cafés. How unfair! I felt like I was 28 going on 68.

Human Design was really helpful for me in understanding that nothing is wrong with me; that there are 30% of us without Sacral energy, who are just not meant to be going all the time.*

How to Manage Your Energy as a Non-Sacral

The hardest thing about this is the acceptance part. You’re not meant to go about life like the majority. If Human Design and your type resonate with you, you need to embrace this, as frustrating as it is.

Then you need to learn to manage your energy. How to do that:

1. Follow your strategy and authority to make sure you’re engaging in the right activities. When you do what’s for you and lights you up, you don’t end up wasting energy.

2. Manifestors, Reflectors, and Projectors have a role in the collective. The sooner and the closer you move towards those roles, the better for your energy levels.

3. Make sure you’re in the right environment to draw the right things to you and support your well-being. If you’re a Mountains person, don’t hang out in Caves and vice versa.

4. If you have a defined ego, be careful where heart-energy turns into ego. I’ve witnessed several people getting absolutely dragged by their ego, losing rhyme and reason about when and where to stop.

5. Rest is your friend. This comes with the acceptance part. Rest doesn’t have to mean lying on the couch. It could also be a calm walk in nature, finishing a jigsaw puzzle, or drawing something.

6. Go to bed before your tired.

And remember, you’re great the way you are. The sooner you can stop beating yourself up about your lack of energy, the better.
