Big Idea: Eat Your Projections.

Eat Your Projections.

Want to get full real fast?

Just learn to eat your projections.

Let’s say you’re criticizing someone. (Hypothetically, of course. ☺)

I’ll be the example: In my less enlightened moments (still tragically too often), I find myself criticizing my Goddess about not doing something she committed to doing (like meditating, getting up early, or something like that).

Now, here’s the funny thing: When *I* am doing those things, I never criticize her. It’s only when I’m not living my life fully that I give her a hard time.

So, what I’m doing is projecting my own shit onto her. Not cool. (Seriously. Projecting our shit on anyone just isn’t cool, wouldn’t you agree? ☺)

The secret: whatever we’re criticizing someone about has nothing to do with them and everything to do with us.

The rule: don’t put your projections on other people. Eat ‘em. Yum.
