Simple Reminders for Aligning with Your Human Design Type

Go B to the Izzle.

That should be the intro. Welcome to Well Designed. I am your host, B to the Izzle, apparently, according to Kyle. Or Brandy, or B, whatever. You know, whatever, how you feel. And I'm here with my co host Kyle. Kyle, how are you?

Hello, I am good. Uh, as we were just saying it's been good to catch up because we recorded those first few episodes close together and then We've been um busy again. So it's good to It's good to chat after a couple weeks of not Getting to catch up as well as face to face as we can get through the screen

Yeah, it was nice. And it was also nice to take time off.

Yeah. Yeah, we'll,

Yeah.

we'll be talking about that today, won't we?

We most certainly will. We most certainly will. So, you know, I think part of us doing this podcast and really trying to honor our own designs as projectors, honoring what we have the energy for in the moment. And so sometimes, That means that we don't have the energy for this. And it's very nice to be supported by another person. And in this case, you know, Kyle, who we've been doing this podcast together for a year now. Can you believe it?

Yeah, I was thinking about

year ago.

Yeah.

But, you know, on days when we're like, I'm not feeling it. It's like, I hear you. That's cool. Like we can absolutely, you know, reschedule or sometimes we pump each other up and we're like, you know what? Now that we're talking again, like I'm feeling it, I can pull through, but you know, like we've talked about before, like in relationships, it's so good to know your own design and the people close to you so that you can have those really transparent conversations.

Yeah, it's so easy and even for me the last couple of weeks To get pulled out of, like, your type of how you emit your, you most naturally do things and operate, uh, and start trying to do things and operating like the people around you or like for me how I think, you know, I should be operating. Um, and the good thing about this being a challenge recently is that it's really given me another opportunity to be like, how do I want to shop? Like when, when do I want to work?

I think that, you know, just to start it off, one I kind of already mentioned is just, I think as a projector, it's so important that.

Yeah. Uh. Something comes to mind. Something about this that we, I don't think we can speak about publicly. But where you just recently did this, um, You just recently did this very well, uh, in terms of, Yeah, we definitely want to operate with people where that invitation is there. So, paying attention to that. And I had a realisation recently that, again, sorry listeners, something I probably can't speak about on here, but, uh, but speaking

Everyone's like, why are they so hush hush? What?

there's nothing that dramatic, it's just You know, we don't need to air all the dirty laundry. Um, but I had the same thing where I realized I was really trying to get recognition from a certain group of people and realized that there wasn't much recognition happening there and, you know, there wasn't an invitation there. And when I was able to realize that and how much energy I was putting into that and I was like, Oh, actually over here is where I want that.

Yeah, that recognition is key. And, you know, again, spending time with people that feel good versus draining. I think those are, you know, two big ones for projectors. What's another one?

I had For projectors, which is kind of in the same vein as this but practicing saying no Because We're waiting for the invitation But we're not going to notice that invitation when it comes if we're, if we've filled our schedule to the brim with things. So practicing the art of saying no to things, and I just saw in an email today, actually someone else, which they, it was a quote they were sharing of someone else's, but it was your no is as meaningful as your yes.

Oh, I love that.

Yeah. It takes a minute. You're like thinking about it. And, and yeah, the whole thing was like. You know, we think saying yes is the gift that we're giving people, but sometimes the gift we're giving people is our no, especially as non sacral sort of types. Um, We've only got so much to give. I was trying to explain this to my friend the other day, and he still won't give me his birth date, so I can't look up his chart, but I'm pretty sure he's a generator.

Yeah, I would say the last one is, you know, as a projector, giving yourself that permission to rest and really understanding that the more rest that you allow, the more effective you'll be when you do get those bursts of energy. Um, and You know, that's still one that I, that I think I certainly struggle with.

Yeah.

but I think, even though it's something that I still struggle with, I can also see where I've put a priority on it and it has come a long way. from where I was a few years ago. I think I am allowing a lot more time for rest, a lot more space, as you said. Um, and I'm saying no to more.

Yeah.

in order, because I do have a lot of things on my plate, and those things are important to me, and I want to have the energy to do them. So it's kind of the things that fall outside of that wheelhouse are almost like, a lot of times an automatic no, unless it's like something that I feel, you know, really pulled toward.

Mm hmm. Yeah. I think that's the big one there. Yeah. Uh, do you want me to go first?

Please.

So, so I had an interesting one because, um, so for manifestors, what, so I'll just read out what I had. So focus on output, not reactions. So what do I mean by that? I mean, as a manifester, you're going to rub people the right way, they'll love you, but you're going to rub them the wrong way.

Yeah, as manifestors, you know, they're, they're really here to initiate the rest of us, not necessarily the ones to be doing the doing or doing the execution. It's really to get the ball rolling. Um, and it's important for the, you know, Oh, go ahead.

yeah, I said that would be the caveat then, which is like what you just said, initiating. Uh, but then yes, but then let go of the, the actual bringing that thing to life

Yeah. And, you know.

to the end of the project.

Exactly. Yes. And it's like, that's why it's, you know, when we talked about projectors, like the type of people that are going to be supportive to them, I think for manifestors, you know, the type of people that are going to be supportive to you are the ones that are going to really respect you.

Yeah, and this, I mean, this could be for everyone, but trust, trust yourself would be what I'd say with the, the manifesto. Like you usually know it's okay for you to ask for other people's opinions, but when you're, I think taking other people's advice, you have to be careful of that because usually you'll know what the right path is for you. would you agree with that, Brandy?

Yes, yes. And again, this goes for all types. It's about using your authority, you know, to figure out what are those yeses for you? What are those no's for you? For manifestors, using your authority to really help you decide what are the urges that you want to follow? What are the urges that, you know, you want to see come to fruition?

Yeah. And we will definitely do another one of these on authority. 'cause I think that'd be fun too.

Oh yeah, that would be a good one. Make a note of that. Alright, should we talk reflectors?

Yes. We need to talk

And it was funny, because before we, before we started recording, you know, we were kind of musing a bit, and we were like, poor reflectors, like, is it just going to be like, be alone? Because they're so sensitive. And they're like, no, that is not the advice for reflectors. However, you know, we, we. did speak to the importance of, you know, again, for all types, there are different reasons why, you know, being in your own energy can be supportive.

like a meal alone. Like go to a. A cafe or a restaurant that they really love the, the space, or it might even be like, you know, a picnic, like a sandwich, you know, that they make at home take to a spot, you know, outside that they really like.

a, a nourishing practice for sure. I think, you know, it's just important that there's a balance with, between time with people and time alone and, you know, similar to like a, a projector, it's about honoring the ebbs and flows of your energy and really taking rest when you need it. Um,

Hmm.

And because reflectors amplify the energy that they are in, it's important that they're, you know, realizing that one of their gifts is fluidity. It's, you know, when they're around me, they might show up like a projector. When they're around a generator, they might show up like a generator. And, you know, there can be times where they might, you know, make themselves wrong for showing up differently in different spaces.

Yeah. Yep. Awesome. Anything else in reflectors?

No, I think that's it. Do you have anything else?

No. I think we're ready for the, the Energizer bunnies.

Yes! Our generators. and our manifesting generators. So, for generators and manifesting generators, you know, a lot of these are going to hold true for both. So, we're going to start by sharing the ones that are kind of universal for both. So, Kyle, do you want to start it off? Ha ha ha

had, uh, Stop shoulding on yourself. I like that that's a really good way to get out of alignment as a generator. Because you've got this energy that you might feel like you need to use up. You can end up filling that with things that you think you should be doing. Uh, but your goal is not to just use your energy up for the sake of using your energy up. Your goal is really to use your energy on the things that really light you up, um, and excite you.

I think that, you know, the big one for, for generators and manifesting generators, when you find yourself in those moments, you know, just like we talked about with projectors earlier, it's like, it's that saying no. And I think what's tricky for people with a defined sacral center is like, you have all this energy, but like, give yourself that permission that sometimes doing nothing is better than doing something you don't enjoy.

Mm

Because in that pause, it gives that, it gives you that space to use your strategy of responding to things and to allow things that might excite you and might be more interesting and might be more fulfilling, um, if you say no to the things that, you know, are going to drain you.

Yeah.

And I think it's important that just like remembering and you know, as Kyle said, instead of shooting all over yourself, really paying attention to what your gut is naturally pulling you towards. Like what is lighting you up? Like what is giving you that full bodied? Yes.

Yeah. Uh, and can I add to that?

Please.

So in, I want to just say in that what I want also wanna say add who, like who to that as well. That's something I had down. So like, who are your people? Like who are the people who can meet? Your level for enthusiasm or can hold space for your level of enthusiasm. So not the people who are like questioning, you know, making you feel like hesitant about yourself or doubting yourself, or why would you do that? What's, what are you doing this for?

hype person?

Or who just asked you really good questions. Like, Oh, that's interesting. Um, where do you think you'll start? You know, who, who, who, uh, I can't think of any questions off the top of my head, but yes, so those people ask good questions. Cause they're probably like the projectors in your life who are there to help guide you. So yeah, that was, yeah, something I, it's important for generators and manifesting generators is to like really think about like, who are those people in my life.

hmm

yeah, we need to also focus on those people who, who also like,

Who energizes

who energize us and who, and can hold, I think it's a generator method too, who can hold that energy. Cause sometimes you'll get burnt out, other burnt out generators or non sacral beings, I feel like who are trying to like tone you down as a generator and being like no no no don't do that or you know like they're trying to like bring you back down to their level yet when you're trying to get in alignment with your type it's not helpful to spend lots of time those

generators, you know, a lot of those are going to hold true for you but I think there are a few others for manifesting generators to consider and I think a big one is really just Manifesting generators is giving yourself that permission to pivot When that excitement isn't there for something anymore, whether it's a job a connection, you know, a hobby, a collaboration, really taking stock of, you know, am I still as excited? Am I still excited about this? Is it still lighting me up?

So, yeah, I mean, I had that with, with Manny Gens. I think sometimes the temptation can be um, be a bit scattered, like to jump from one activity to the next all day long again and like using that energy. But something I've noticed that helps manifesting generators a lot really like align is to do something that can feel counterintuitive, which is to carve out big chunks of time.

yeah, I think it's, you know, another layer to that is like, it doesn't all have to make sense together. Like If you like to crochet, and you are, you know, a computer programmer, and you know, you have, you know, uh, you play pickleball, like, you don't have to make those all be one thing. Like, your interests can be siloed. Um, and you don't have to force it.

Mm, mm

I think that that can be, you know, something that can be a struggle for manifesting generators and it's like, you know, let each of your passions kind of stand alone as a pillar and I think that that helps make it a little bit more natural when you want to make a pivot because you're not like dropping, you know, every part of your life at once. It's just little bits or changing or shifting just little bits.

Yeah, that's a big one. That's a good one. Alright, there's our five types.

Alright, so I think next time that we do one of these, we'll do it around authorities.

Yeah, yeah, I've got, I have, I did have that down in our notes. One, uh, that's one of our future podcast ideas. Was, uh, Ways to listen to your authority. So yeah, I think that'd be a lot of fun.

Alright, sounds good. Until then.

Until then, farewell everyone. Bye.

Bye!
