ENNEAGRAM FOUR

Being true to yourself and allowing yourself to be unique can be such a gift to others. It produces so much creativity, beauty and art. Working with businesses, I’ve noticed how much fours do not see or realize how everyone appreciates what they bring to the table. There will always be something inside of you that says you’re flawed, broken, not fully put together but that voice doesn’t mean that you weren’t meant to be in this world.
When you find the right persona for yourself, live it loud. Let no one shame you or belittle you into thinking you must fit the norm. I’ve always enjoyed when fours allow themselves to be fully who they believe they are.
Testing people’s love for you; however, is not something I applaud. I’ve witnessed how fours will manipulate people into saving them from themselves - testing their love for them by pushing the envelope of their uniqueness just to see how far that person will stay with them in their radical behavior. Trusting someone will love you unconditionally is hard for everyone; however testing the person you love is not loving them at all.
Let go of the belief that you are flawed and find stability in the fact that you were made to do great things with your unique viewpoint of this world!

ENNEAGRAM THREE

Accomplishment is so satisfying. I think there is nothing better than a to do list that has been fully crossed off. But the question of the day is how much do you, as an have to accomplish to actually feel satisfied? Don Risso said it best “Threes are often overachievers and feel empty inside”.
Your biggest “wake up” sign should be when you start to equate your personal value with your level of success. When you start to continue to add to your list of things to do: to accomplish more, be more and obtain more; take a good hard look in the mirror and figure out what things truly bring value to my life. What am I doing to acquire people’s praise? Does that align with my goals or will it fulfill a fleeting feeling of admiration? Cut off the fat - do only what will help you reach your goals in life (because I know you have a very good list of goals).
You can be loved for WHO you are not for WHAT you do. I hope you have a person in your life that is able to see the amazing person you are even when you don’t have anything to bring to the table, even when you fail and even when you have zero motivation.

And PS… it’s ok to open yourself up to feeling loved unconditionally. You deserve it.

ENNEAGRAM TWO

Love is such a beautiful gift. It’s why we love rom-coms and get lost in books or stories of “meet cutes”. When someone loves us it provides a confidence and safety like none other. As a two, you love to receive love. You work tirelessly to support those around you to obtain the security and acceptance of their love.
I’ve seen some really broken twos throughout my time in this journey. They are tired, bitter and lost. They put so much into everyone else without reciprocation that the anger becomes too much and they move on to (as I jokingly say) “their next victim”. When twos aren’t healthy they will throw all caution to the wind to feel what they believe is love. In the end, it leaves a path behind of burned bridges and lost friendships due to them not reciprocating love in the way the two thought it should be given.
The enneagram will show you how other’s show love. It may not be as intense or in the way you believe love should be shown (because, let’s face it, you’re an expert at the this whole love thing). But it’s their version of love, nonetheless.
Learning to love yourself is highest priority. Set aside time in your calendar for “ME TIME”. And when someone asks for help, ask yourself: Am I doing this so I do not lose their love? If the answer is yes, I highly suggest setting boundaries with that person until you are able to be secure in that relationship without having to DO for them.
When your desire for love is your driving factor, you are putting your happiness in someone else’s hands and it’s time to take control of your own happiness!

ENNEAGRAM ONE

Your need to do what is right drives your every movement. It’s your core desire, therefore you seek it out in everything you do.
What if I told you that not every enneagram one has the same moral compass as you do, yet they feel the same intensity to do what they believe is right. If you sit in that for too long, it will become very uncomfortable but also perspective shifting.
I once had a really good conversation with a one about how if an enneagram one was raised in the mob for instance, their belief system of what is right will be vastly different than theirs. The little boy from the mob will grow up to believe that protecting their family, selling drugs and continuing the stronghold of power is GOOD. It’s the “worst kind of villain”.
Every single has a different view and value of what is right. Which begs me to ask the question: What is really right?

To some Christians I encounter in businesses I consult with, the enneagram can be uncharted territory. As a Christian myself, I have always been warned of getting caught up in something that is not of God. To measure everything against the Bible: "Test all things, hold on to what is good." (1 Thess. 5:21) The Enneagram's origin began in the 1960s from a man named Oscar Ichazo. He took the symbol of the Enneagram and transformed it into what I consult with today. The Enneagram symbol itself dates back to the Greek Philosopher Pythagoras. Many religions have used the symbolism and now even the Enneagram itself. The Enneagram is not from Christian origin, however, many Christians, churches and Christian counselors use it as a tool to help find self clarity. I have personally found a deeper understanding of my own relationship with God through enneagram work. No, there are no fire circles or rituals that I have ever witnessed within the enneagram community that would lead me to believe that God is not the Almighty; the creator of Heaven and Earth. In all of my studies there has never been mentionings that would lead me to another religion or question my belief system. It has allowed me, however, to see how I hide from God and from myself. It has shown me the complexity of my motivations, my reactions and ultimately the outcome of my reactions. The Enneagram has taught me to see the warning signs of unhealthy behavior and therefore reminding me to run faster to the Bible for guidance, assurance and grace.
If you're reading this and are a Christian who is weary about what the Enneagram actually is, I hope this puts your mind at ease. If not for your own self examination but for encouraging your friends, colleagues and family members who are learning how to improve themselves through the Enneagram.

Maybe… just Maybe Monday.

Challenging our core knee jerk reactions can be one of the hardest forms of discipline. We’ve all heard that our mind is a powerful thing - our thoughts lead to our actions. How we interpret things can make or break our relationships both personally and professionally. Did you read your boss’ tone correctly? Did your employee’s action deserve criticism or justify termination? Everything we do is wired from our very own outlook on the world. We all have different lenses - see and hear things differently. Which is why I encourage everyone to take time to get to know their “knee jerk reactions”. You can filter your emotions and actions by those first thoughts - there is wisdom in pausing and pursuing yourself to truly understand the choices you make so the outcomes can be based in congruency with your mission to keep your business and team on track.

Happy Mindset Monday! Take these maybe’s into your week and see how changing your mindset will help you see more clearly.

We all have a built in core desire. It’s a part of what makes your enneagram number different from the rest. At times though, something as good as a simple desire can morph into a theoretical need. When our needs do not get met over a period of time, we tend to force and manipulate the world around us to meet those needs.
A part of why I loved diving into the enneagram (like any other personality assessment), is it opened my eyes to my patterns. Once I was able to see those patterns, I was able to set up boundaries for myself and others to allow me to find productive and positive ways to have my needs met verses spiraling into mental instability.
Knowing my team’s core desires help me find ways to encourage them; one. But, more importantly, help me see signs of mental fatigue.
*When I see that my enneagram one team member is trying to force perfection in all areas of our office, I know it’s time for a mental check in with her.
*When my enneagram nine team member hides and begins to prioritize things that aren’t a priority, I know it’s time to see what I can do to support her.
*When my enneagram three doctor takes on a million tasks, over schedules himself, stays too late and goes in too early, I know it’s time to see how he’s doing.
*When my enneagram five team member isolates and google is practically her screensaver, it’s time to see how I can help her get back on task and integrate her back into the team.
Every team member will react differently, but you will start to see patterns in their actions which will help you discern when they aren’t 100% with you. Pinpointing these moments together will help everyone be more aware of everyones needs so you can get the job done cohesively and efficiently.

Happy Wednesday! It only gets better from here!
