Several months ago, I discovered the word “eneagram” in my coaching profession, and as soon as it echoed in my ears, it aroused immense curiosity, I began to investigate what it was and what it was.
This word means nine lines in Greek, because it describes nine types of personality on which each of us (and our mental models) are based.
- One could say that the enneagram is a pattern that helps us subjectively filter objective reality; its use also allows us to verify and determine:.
? What makes us who we are and act or think the way we think
? Our main character traits: our flaws and our potential.
? Our desires and fears
? And most fascinating of all, it allows us to discover why we always stumble on the same path throughout our lives.
Here are the 9 eneatypes on which the eneagram is based so you can find out what yours can be and understand it in the context of personal growth.
? Enetype 1: we are talking about these people who want to be perfect, because their trauma is the feeling of imperfection, because of this complex, unconsciously they create an ideal of how they should be, they have a self-exclusive personality and very critical. with themselves.
It is obvious that with an exaggerated search for perfection they tend to get irritated and frustrated quickly, as they never reach the desired perfection they tend to get angry and frustrated very easily.
Their arrogance leads them to believe that they are always right and that they are the only ones who are sure and know things. To unlock and learn, they must begin to turn their anger into serenity and accept themselves as they are.
? Eneatype 2: When we do not love ourselves, we seek and yearn for love. He’s a type 2, those people who think that loving himself is selfish. They prioritize the needs of others, above their own, and the more they feel that others love them, the happier they will be.
The bad thing about this? If they care about others, they forget about themselves and their hearts, so they tend to be dependent people and don’t like loneliness at all, they tend to take pride because they plan to learn more about the needs of others, giving advice and throwing in front of what others are doing.
To evolve internally, you must turn your pride into humility and first address your own emotional needs.
? Enetype 3: he does not value himself and therefore constantly needs the assessment of others, if he does not excel in any aspect of life, he will not feel precious and loved, they consider that his role as human beings is composed triumphs, image, success and recognition.
And what generates all this for them? This causes them to hide behind a mask and forget who they really are. They are presumptuous, ambitious and competitive people. His personal evolution is to transform his vanity into authenticity and value himself for what he is. , not because of what you have or get.
? Eneatype 4: These people who do not see each other and therefore need constant attention around them, feel inferior to others, leading them to the need to be unique, special and different, if they are constantly compared to people, they think they lack something, to be happy, full of envy, sadness and melancholy.
They are self-centered to save this need and therefore speak a lot of their inner emotions, regardless of those of others. An important feature of eratotype 4 is that they generally feel misunderstood, with many emotional ups and downs. To evolve, they must learn to be more interested in others than in themselves.
? Eneatype 5: people who are afraid to express their feelings and have emotional relationships with others, physical contact disturbs them, makes them cold, reserved and distant, feel safe in their rational, theoretical and intellectual world, but cannot use all this knowledge to act.
To learn and overcome yourself as human beings, you must be aware of connecting with your heart, finding the balance between what you think and what you feel.
? Eneatotype 6: They are characterized by being people who do not trust each other and who are afraid to make decisions, live in a constant state of alertness, frightened by future situations and commitments, care too much and often ask others what to do with their lives.
To evolve internally, this boy needs to turn his cowardice into courage, learning to have self-confidence to bear the consequences of decisions made.
? Enetype 7: Do you know a person who is afraid of being afraid?Then you come across in front of kind 7 people, funny, happy and positive who use humor as defense armor to avoid fear.
The main characteristic of these people is that they tend to be overactive, constantly seeking pleasure and always doing activities so as not to get bored, have difficulty connecting with the present and concentrating.
To overcome and evolve, they will need to cultivate the silence and the art of doing nothing, connecting with the happiness and well-being that reside in them, rather than fleeing.
? Enetype 8: Are you afraid of being hurt?But a type 8 person has so much more. These people build armor and constantly live defensively to take control, acting aggressively when they feel threatened.
They have to be in charge of situations, without being told what to do. His motto is usually: “The best defense is a good attack. “
To grow internally, they must cede control and accept their vulnerability, realizing that no one can emotionally hurt them if they don’t open up first and consent.
? Eneatype 9: Avoid conflicts at all costs, not knowing how to handle the anger of those around them. Do they go unnoticed so as not to provoke an argument and have difficulty saying?Not the others, for fear of getting angry.
They are usually good listeners, believe that their opinion is not important and get carried away by others, all this leads them to have no motivation to carry out activities and generate new good situations, they must turn their laziness into proactivity, make themselves known and contribute to the world.
And you, with which boy did you feel most identified, will this help you overcome the biggest obstacles and obstacles in your daily life?So get over yourself as a human being!
