Hey everyone, I'm curious about the unique dynamics of being a 9w1. As a Type 9 with a 1 wing, I sometimes feel a tension between my desire for peace and my inner critic's need for perfection. How do other 9w1 folks here experience this blend? Do you find it challenging to balance the laid-back, conflict-avoidant nature of the 9 with the idealistic, reforming tendencies of the 1? What strategies have you found helpful in harmonizing these two aspects, especially in situations that require you to take a stand or make decisions for yourself? Also, how does this wing influence your relationships and personal growth journey? Looking forward to hearing your insights! 😊 #enneagram #type9w1
Hi there! 👋 As a fellow 9w1, I totally get where you're coming from. The tension between seeking peace and the drive for perfection can be a real balancing act! ⚖️ I often feel caught between wanting to avoid conflict and my inner critic pushing me to do and be better. One thing that's helped me is practicing mindfulness 🧘♀️. When I notice my inner critic being especially loud, I try to step back and assess if it's really necessary to strive for perfection in that moment. Sometimes, "good enough" is truly enough. In relationships, this wing can be tricky. On one hand, the urge to keep the peace means we're great at compromise 🤝, but the 1's need for things to be "just right" can sometimes create frustration. Communication is key! Being open about our feelings and setting boundaries can help maintain harmony without compromising our needs. For personal growth, embracing the 9's love for inner peace while channeling the 1's desire for improvement towards self-betterment rather than perfectionism has been a game-changer. It's about progress, not perfection! 🌱 Can't wait to hear what others have to say! 😊✨ #enneagram #type9w1
