So far in the last two weeks of 2021, we have touched on how the Enneagram can help you appreciate the behaviours of the people around you better. If you have missed it, click here and how do different Enneagram Types show that they care.
We started off 2022 by learning how the Enneagram can positively impact your life by helping you recognising the needs of others and becoming wiser in managing these needs.
This week, we focus on the fourth way the Enneagram can positively impact your life:
Through The Enneagram,
You Recognise Your Own Strengths And Blindspots, And Start Working On Your Personal Development
Often times, when participants walk through our door, their main aim is to see what the Enneagram is about and how it works for them as a personality framework. However, as they quickly find out, the Enneagram is much more than that.
It is a personal development framework: a roadmap back to each person finding out who they are at their core and growth paths to help anyone to be the best and strongest version of themselves.
Let me give you an example:
Let’s say that you are a person who is very gifted in reading the emotions of the people around you. In fact, you are so good at it that often times, you get to the heart of the matter of what they are trying to say, by helping them navigate the ups and downs of their emotions.
The ability to hold emotional space (especially in the valley moments) and to say pertinent words that encourage and edify the emotions of the people around them are the gifts of the Type 4. However, some Type 4s, whilst learning to use this superpower to its maximum potential, may let their emotions take control and cause them to not be their loving, best selves to others as they try to manage themselves.
Through the Enneagram, as a Type 4, you will learn to cut down your ‘heart processing’ time by looking not only at the emotional side of the matter but also the logical side of the matter. This learned objectivity helps 4s get out of their emotional lows at a quicker rate and upwards towards their authentic, joyful selves.
We always say that “It starts with you”. The Enneagram will not only help uncover the you at your core, but also give you ways to grow to be the best and most self-aware version of yourself.
