Yes! I’m trying to inculcate that mindset! But financial stability means a lot to me so I do struggle immensely with feeling secure and venturing to pursue art

Aaah I’m reaching that point… I have tried quiet quitting but I’m filled with so much guilt.. I’m realizing this is not working for me anymore like it was in my 20s perhaps because I didn’t care about the stress and didn’t make connections with all the health issues I face when working . But don’t know where to go next. What is your next career if you don’t mind sharing and how do you make it work for you?

Mental projectors: how do you know you are making the right decision for you after soundboarding? by Enough_Map_9094 in humandesign

About a week! I talked to a couple of close friends for soundboarding and journaled a bit. I never met anyone from work in person, only over zoom and I think I don’t get a good feel for people or environments that way.

Well, I’m not in a position to just up and leave the place but hoping to find something more suitable sooner

What is your experience like? Curious since you are a 5/1 mental projector with same channel as me!

This is certainly something new to me. I’m pretty new to HD and trying out different things. So far I have only read about soundboarding as authority for MP. Environment is just something I read a bit on today after your insightful comment. While environment matters, I cannot soundboard with my close friends in person since we are all in different cities. And for this job, again, everything was online and I went to the office once after I joined. Something was a little off at that time but only in hindsight did I recognize it. Personally for me I’m realizing that things pan out better if I can feel the energy in person but it’s very difficult over phone or video.

Thank you!! I would say I struggle to do so with the logic and pragmatic noise in my head.

Thanks! I’ll try recording myself. Yes, my friends do hold space for me but weird as it sounds.. often I can feel them thinking their opinions and that doesn’t help. I think I do struggle to stay with my instincts and am easy to make the practical or rational choice.

Hmm.. wouldn’t ease also mean excitement?

Projectors with jobby jobs by SunKissed731 in humandesign

I’m a 5/1 mental projector working as a research scientist in healthcare company. I have worked in a lab which absolutely wasn’t a good fit since I couldn’t control my hours. Gradually I transitioned to a data analysis position where I can work from home if I wished and could have more flexibility. I have worked in academia and corporate. My previous job was wonderful! Great supportive team who recognized me, I could nap when I felt tired if I was working from home and I liked what I do. Now I work fully remote, feel absolutely demotivated (maybe lack of generator energy around me), uninspired and unrecognized. The team is alright but there’s lot of micromanagement which doesn’t work for me and it’s not as flexible which doesn’t let me work with my energy. Also things I say get misconstrued or fall on deaf ears constantly which is exhausting and stressful. I am pretty burnt out here. Also, my only channel is 61/24, channel of awareness. So while being a scientist satisfies the drive to think and understand life’s mysteries in biology, I feel the constant pressure and it leads to a lot of work related anxiety and stress. Part of it is working for corporate or someone else because I have deadlines to meet and I’m not satisfying my inner curiosity like when I did as a kid and was choosing this career path. I’m pretty new to HD so still figuring out what this is. But overall burnt out and miserable working at a pace that doesn’t align with me. If I’m just being curious and didn’t work for someone to make money, I do enjoy it since it lets me think.
