Strategy tells you how to enter a situation; authority tells you whether it's right for you. In a Projector with mental authority, these two pieces combine in a particular way.
To understand each piece on its own, read the guide to the Projector in Human Design and to mental (environmental) authority. Don't know your combination yet? Get your free chart.
How this combination works
The mental Projector has no inner authority in the body. They need good environments and people to think out loud with.
Their way of deciding is to talk with different people in the right environment to hear themselves, without letting others decide.
Exercises to practice it
- ✦Before each important decision, remember your strategy: wait for the invitation.
- ✦Then apply your authority: talk with different people in the right environment to hear themselves, without letting others decide.
- ✦Keep a one-week log: what you decided, how you decided it, and whether success or bitterness showed up.
What the body says
Deciding against your authority for years tends to leave a mark: exhaustion, insomnia and feeling unappreciated when working at other people's pace and giving advice nobody asked for. In the GALA Method, Gabriela combines your chart with Biodecoding to work on that pattern.
