What If You're Not Lazy - Just Designed Differently?

October 23, 20252 min read

For the longest time, I thought something was wrong with me.

I couldn’t stick to a routine.

I’d start projects with enthusiasm and then lose steam halfway.

I felt slow. Inefficient. Undisciplined.

And in my quietest moments, I’d beat myself up for it.

“Why can’t I be more productive?”

“Why do I need so much rest?”

“What’s wrong with me?”

Then I discovered Human Design… and found out I was a Projector.

And for the first time in a long time - I felt relieved.

I wasn’t lazy.

I wasn’t broken.

I was just designed differently.

✨Projectors aren’t built to hustle. We’re not here to grind from sun-up to sun-down.

We’re here to guide, not to do. To see deeply, not to sprint endlessly.

We don’t have consistent energy like Generators or Manifesting Generators - and that’s not a flaw. It’s wisdom in disguise.

When I learned that I was meant to work in short, focused bursts (and then rest), it was like my body finally felt seen.

I stopped forcing myself to keep up with everyone else’s pace.

I let go of the guilt that came with “doing less.”

And slowly, I began to work with my energy instead of against it.

🌿Redefining Productivity as a Mompreneur

If you’re a mom and a business owner, you’re probably used to wearing all the hats.

The scheduling hat.

The planning hat.

The work-late-into-the-night-when-the-children-sleep hat.

And if your design doesn’t fit the traditional mould of mom hustle, it’s easy to internalise the wrong message: That you’re falling short.

But what if you’re not?

What if the way you function is exactly right for your design - and you just haven’t been shown how to work in alignment yet?

💛Human Design Gave Me Language for What I Always Felt

I used to tell myself I needed more discipline.

Now I know I need more permission.

Permission to rest without guilt.

Permission to say no without explanation.

Permission to follow the pace of my energy - not the noise of the world.

So if you’ve ever wondered why you can’t seem to keep up…

Why you’re exhausted, even when you “haven’t done much”…

Why the routines that work for others don’t work for you…

Maybe you’re not lazy.

You’re just designed differently.

And that’s more than okay - it’s your superpower. 💫
