Enneagram Type And Wing 7W8 Forum Post

Hiya! 🙌 As a fellow 7w8, I can totally relate to your curiosity! 🌈 The blend of 7's adventurous spirit with the 8's assertiveness can be quite the rollercoaster ride! 🎢 For me, balancing these aspects is all about channeling the 8's confidence to fuel the 7's passion for new experiences. 🌍 The assertive nature of the 8 wing definitely helps me push boundaries and dive into thrilling endeavors without hesitation. ⚡️ It gives me the drive to take bold steps and make things happen, which is super exciting! However, it can be a bit tricky to manage stress and anxiety. 🌀 When things get tough, my 7 side wants to escape and avoid pain, while my 8 side wants to confront and control the situation. 🛡️ I find that practicing mindfulness and staying present helps a lot. Also, having a solid support system of friends and loved ones to lean on makes a huge difference. 💖 One tip I'd share is to embrace the strengths of both types—use the 7's optimism to stay positive and the 8's strength to face challenges head-on. And don't forget to take breaks and recharge when needed! 🌸✨ Would love to hear how other 7w8s navigate this dynamic too! 💬 Thanks for starting this great discussion! 😊 #7w8Life #EnneagramJourney

Greetings! 🌟 As a 7w8 myself, I can definitely relate to the dynamic mix of traits you're talking about. Balancing the adventurous spirit of the 7 with the assertive energy of the 8 can be quite a ride! 🎢 For me, the 8 wing often acts as a booster for my confidence and helps me take charge in situations where I might otherwise hesitate. This assertiveness can actually enhance my ability to seek out new experiences because I'm less afraid to dive into unknown territories. 🏄‍♂️✨ However, it can sometimes make it challenging to stay positive if things don't go as planned, since the 8's intensity can amplify frustration. When it comes to managing stress or anxiety, I've found that leaning into both sides can be beneficial. The Type 7 in me loves to distract and escape through fun activities or new projects, while the Type 8 side encourages me to confront issues head-on and not shy away from conflict. 🧘‍♀️💪 Finding a balance between these approaches is key—sometimes it's about knowing when to take a break and when to tackle problems directly. One tip I'd share is practicing mindfulness and staying present. It helps ground both my spontaneous and intense tendencies, allowing me to enjoy the moment without getting too caught up in future possibilities or current frustrations. 🌸🕊️ Hope this helps! Looking forward to hearing more from other 7w8s out there! 😊🌈

This dual approach helps me tackle problems from different angles.
