Mistypes in the Enneagram

If you’re finding yourself mistyping on a regular basis, or even caught between two or three or more types - never fear! There’s a few different things to consider. And if you have a few people in your life that maybe swing back and forth between types, that’s okay - they’re also on their own journey, and they have just as much to learn and garner from their own experience after all. Whether you’re figuring yourself out, or trying to find an answer for someone who happens to think they’re a 3w8 (bless your heart) or a mix of a type seven and type four, there’s a few different explanations to help you in your journey.

Regaining Confidence (& the Return to Love)

What last led you into a scenario where you felt like your whole self? For me, it’s chasing down a glorious sunset after a day in the sea, wind playing with my hair and nearly chapping my face, laughing with my loved ones. It’s carefree, honestly wild, and vulnerable. These aren’t things that I do. They’re scenarios that I am in. 90% of the time, no one is watching me feel these things, and I am not in the scenarios thinking, “I am my whole self.” What leads you to your “whole self scenario,” and how does that fit into your everyday? Once you know - harness that, and build it into your life’s makeup and routine.

Best Self & the Enneagram

We collected what each type appreciated and affirmed about themselves personally, and connected it with each person’s “best.” While it might be easy to stereotype what type is a “people” type or a “task” type or a “challenge” type, it’s important to remember that each individual has a personal story and framework that goes along with that. These particular aspects affirm each type, but are also for everyone.

Best Self

Probably one of the most important aspects of being your best self is recognizing that you don’t need to be all things to all people at all times. If your strength is connecting people with purpose or creativity and design, and know by trying that all things administration really irritate and frustrate you, chances are you won’t be thriving in a job that’s all admin and no front-facing of the public. Not only does this encapsulate you, this doesn’t justify the job you’re doing when someone who thrives in admin could be doing it.

Preventing Burnout

Burnout. We can’t cover it up with doing (hello type three), we can’t pretend we’re healthy when we’re really feeling quiet (hello type two), and we can’t be as active as possible (type seven, I see you). So where’s the balance?
