Hello! 👋🌟 It's wonderful to see your enthusiasm for the Enneagram! 🌈 I've found it to be such a transformative tool as well. For me, as a Type 4, journaling 📝 has been a game-changer. It allows me to explore my feelings deeply and stay aware of when I'm diving too deep into melancholy. Meditation 🧘‍♀️ is another practice that helps ground me and keeps me mindful of my motivations. I love using guided sessions that focus on self-compassion and mindfulness. To avoid falling into the less healthy traits of my type, I create a balance between introspection and action. Engaging in creative activities 🎨 that bring me joy while also challenging myself to step out of my comfort zone helps maintain that balance. One resource that has been invaluable is "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" book 📚. It goes into depth about each type and offers practical advice for growth. Looking forward to hearing what works for others as well! Thanks for sparking this conversation! ✨🙏 Best,
