Hi,
I would love for you to dive into the self projected authority.
I’m self projected with only my throat and g centre defined, and there’s not much information on this authority. I would love to help if needed as I have noticed somethings and it would be nice to have some sort of clarification, or someone to talk to about this that has knowledge on human design.
Thank you in advance 🧡
how to be your best self-projected self: a practical guide
so fun fact: every projector i know tends to never fully align or apply their authority type because the common advice is to "talk it out with someone and use them as a sounding board". WRONG! you don't need to have other people to make the best decisions for you... plus bringing other people into your decision making process often distracts from your realization about the options - you are likely more susceptible to being more emotional, defensive, reactive, and/or guided by the other person. self-projection is about having the space to have realizations on your own terms and timeline. so here's some practical ways to create that space for yourself.

anchor yourself in sensations before speaking
instead of instantly talking to someone, take 30-60 seconds to notice your body - chest, throat, and diaphragm.
look for green lights; what feels effortless, words that tumble out naturally, notice when your tone is warm or animated, and you are breathing easier.
practice narrating small, inconsequential choices to yourself out loud. it might sound stupid but stuff like "i want tea, so i'm going to have tea over coffee" - notice how your body reacts and how you feel when you vocalize those things, so you know what green lights are.
look for red lights; when your throat feels pinched/tight, when your words feel forced or monotone, and when you stumble on your words.
use voice notes/memos
record yourself talking through a choice without having a planned narrative - literally ramble for 2-3 minutes (or more).
play it back later and listen not for logic but for changes in your tone, when/if enthusiasm is present, sections where you rush/mumble or sound drained, etc.
making micro-decisions as practice
practice making decisions that don't have big consequences: "do i feel like sitting in the living room or kitchen?", "do i want to wear this black jacket or this denim one?", etc. COFFEE OR TEA!
speak your options aloud and notice which one makes your body lean forward or makes your voice brighten - that's your self-projected green light.
sometimes this is difficult though so the other option is flipping a coin. give each option a side, flip, and notice how you feel/reaction when you receive the universe's answer. and if you find you don't like it - change it ;)!
"no audience" test
self-projected authorities rely too much on another person as a mirror, but you can use empty space as the witness: talk to a plant, pet, mirror, and/or your voice memos.
the goal is ultimately to hear yourself without being swayed by someone else's reaction.
you'll notice which words feel like they're coming from you versus what's coming from external conditioning.
identify your not-so-green-lights
sometimes your voice can sound bright because it's people-pleasing or chasing external approval.
so look for false green lights. things like excitement that feels like nervous adrenaline instead of grounded enthusiasm, feeling relief that "this will make them happy" rather than "this will make me feel alive", when your pitch gets higher than normal in a slightly strained way, etc.
end-of-day audit
spend a few minutes in the evening and vocalize one decision that felt aligned (pay attention to your voice/tone) and one decision that felt misaligned (note how your tone/voice changes).
