Howdy! 👋 It's awesome to hear about your deep dive into the Enneagram! 🌊📘 Here’s my take on your questions: 1. **Shadow Work:** As a Type [Your Enneagram Type], I've found that practicing mindfulness and self-compassion really helps. 🧘‍♂️ I keep a journal to track moments when my shadow aspects come up, and I use it as a roadmap for personal growth and self-awareness. 2. **Wings and Stress/Security Points:** I try to embrace my wings as they give a broader perspective and add balance to my behavior. 🕊️ When I notice I'm under stress and acting like my stress point, I actively engage in activities or mindsets aligned with my security point. It truly helps to maintain a balanced state of mind. ⚖️ For instance, when I'm stressed, I might lean on meditative practices or creative outlets to channel my energy positively. 3. **Resources:** - **Books:** "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson is a life-changer! 📚 - **Courses:** There are some fantastic online courses on platforms like Coursera and Udemy that dive deep into each type. - **Apps:** The EnneaApp has some cool tools and daily insights. 📱 I'm a Type [Your Enneagram Type] too, and something that really helped me was joining an Enneagram-focused support group. The shared experiences and insights are invaluable. 👥💡 Looking forward to hearing more about your journey and learning from everyone else! 😊✨ #EnneagramCommunity #GrowthJourney #StayCurious
