Hi Leah, fellow enneagram 4 here! I totally know what you mean about feeling the need to be original and significant all the time. Something that’s helped me over the last few years is gardening and writing about the seasons- in many ways those things are so obvious how can they be original? But then we see year on year how different it is all the time. My rose grows back each year in the same place in my garden but it’s still grown from the previous year. Looking forward to reading more of your enneagram thoughts! X
Leah, your insights on our motivations and fears continue to bring aha moments to me! At this stage of the game, at 64, I have a lot of ruts in my brain where my thoughts glide along like a well greased track. I love that you are giving us tools to use in order to choose new thoughts. What if it isn't my job to be "perfectly good and right"? After all, I have a savior who is!!
