WHY SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT THE GIFTS OF EACH TYPE?

WHY SHOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT THE GIFTS OF EACH TYPE?

Because if you know someone's type, you know their potential. If you engage with them assuming this potential, the whole relationship grows.

When those identifying with type 8 lose presence, relationships can get ugly. This natural leader, suddenly seems aggressive and your heart drops out of the picture.

But they might not even know this.

As they go down those levels, they are fighting for control, autonomy, and respect. Leadership shifts to control, protective shifts to smothering, and pursuing the truth shifts to bullying.

Like the rest of us, you shift to a fixed mindset and believe there isn't enough to go around. At the higher levels, you want all these gifts for others, too. And you naturally help others show up in their gifts, too.

Working with the Enneagram will teach you how to close the gap between those two places: fighting with a lens of limited resources vs. knowing there are enough to go around and living from that place instead.

Where do you identify with type 8 energy even if you don't identify your dominant type with type 8? What parts resonate?

Throughout the next week, start to notice yourself with kindness and curiosity. Come back and share!

WHAT DID YOU LEARN? If you follow me on Instagram

WHAT DID YOU LEARN?

If you follow me on Instagram, you've seen this last series on the 9 types and the ways people identifying with each of those types might show up in ordinary life.

❓What did you learn about yourself and others?

❓What parts of all of those types show up in you, despite the fact that you identify the most with one of them? Which one is that?

I'd love to hear what you are learning about yourself and the world, and if you don't identify at all, just know that no one - absolutely no one - wants to live at their worst. They just can't help it. They might not even see it.

❗️And if that's true about them, it might be true about you, too.

BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

Knowing your type is about knowing how to drop those icky parts of your type that you might not even see or know you have a choice with.

Share something here about what you notice or share a reflection about this. I'd love to hear your takeaways!

AT YOUR BEST YOU SHOW UP FOR LIFE WITH THE NATURAL

AT YOUR BEST YOU SHOW UP FOR LIFE WITH THE NATURAL CURIOSITY OF SEEING EVERYTHING NEW, WITHOUT LAYERS OF HISTORY AND MEMORY ON TOP OF IT. YOU BRING A LIGHTNESS AND A JOY TO SITUATIONS BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE ONLY MOMENT IS NOW AND THEREFORE EACH MOMENT IS NEW AND EACH MOMENT IS TO BE SAVORED. THE ONLY CHOICE IS WHAT IS HERE NOW.

But when you forget this, you are moving about the world quickly, seeking the joy that is just beyond your reach. You are afraid of feeling trapped right here and so you move on without really being anywhere. Your sole focus is on finding happiness somewhere and you know it isn't here.

Presence keeps us up those levels while personality fights to keep us down those levels.

But here's the thing: the joy you are seeking is actually right here. When you are present to and curious about what is happening now, there is so much freedom in the joy of the very moment. You don't have to look anywhere or decide what's next.

Ask yourself, "What am I afraid of?"

Maybe it's

🐛being limited by my choices
🐛feeling stuck because my options will go away
🐛being overwhelmed by feelings
🐛being caught off guard
🐛losing control of a situation
🐛missing out

Sound familiar?

Following the next shiny object does not make you feel less fearful of those things. When was the last time you arrived at the "next thing" and lost that sense that there was something better or different that was calling you right around the corner?

While no type has a monopoly on any particular trait, if you see lots of yourself here, it is a place to get curious.

What rings true for you? What doesn't? Can't wait to hear.
