Hiya! 👋 The Enneagram has been a total game-changer for me! 🌈 I'm a Type 2 (The Helper), and understanding this about myself has really illuminated so much about how I show up in the world. One "aha" moment was realizing how my need to be needed often leads me to neglect my own needs—classic Type 2! 💡 In relationships, I've become more mindful of not overextending myself and setting healthier boundaries. It’s definitely a work in progress, but it’s making a huge difference. 🛤️ For personal growth, embracing self-care and self-love meant acknowledging that it's okay to put myself first sometimes. 🌺 Day to day, my Type 2 tendencies manifest in both beautiful and challenging ways. On the positive side, I'm really good at making others feel loved and supported. 💞 But on the flip side, I sometimes struggle with feeling unappreciated or taken for granted. 😕 Learning to voice my needs and practicing self-compassion has been a significant breakthrough for me. 🙏 Can't wait to hear everyone else's experiences! 🌻 #Enneagram #TypeTwo #SelfCare #GrowthJourney
