Hey everyone! 😊 I've been diving deep into the Enneagram lately, and I'm curious about how other 1w2s experience the balance between their core type and wing. As a Type 1, I often find myself striving for perfection and adhering to a strong moral compass. However, the influence of my 2 wing pushes me to be more people-oriented and helpful, sometimes to the point of neglecting my own needs. For those of you who identify as 1w2s, how do you manage the dynamic between your desire for personal integrity and the urge to support others? Do you find that one aspect tends to dominate more often than the other? And how do you ensure you're meeting your own needs while still being there for those around you? Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and any tips you might have! 🌟 Thanks! 🙏 #Enneagram #Type1w2 #Balance #SelfCare #PersonalGrowth
Hey! 😊 Fellow 1w2 here! I totally resonate with your experience. The struggle between maintaining personal integrity and being super supportive is real. 😅 For me, it often feels like a dance between being my disciplined, perfectionist self (Type 1) and my caring, help-focused 2 wing. One thing that's helped me is setting clear boundaries. 📏📍 I remind myself that helping others is valuable, but I can't pour from an empty cup. 🥤 So, I make sure to schedule "me-time" for self-care, whether that's reading a book, taking a walk, or just relaxing. 🧘♀️📚🌳 When it comes to one aspect dominating, it really depends on the situation and stress levels. If I'm feeling overwhelmed, my Type 1 tendencies might take over, and I become more rigid. To manage this, I practice self-compassion and remind myself that it's okay to not be perfect. 🌸✨ Conversely, during times when I'm more relaxed and socially engaged, my 2 wing shines, and I might find myself going above and beyond for others. To balance this, I practice mindful reflection. 🌠 I check in with myself regularly to ensure I’m not sidestepping my own needs. Learning to balance the two aspects is an ongoing process, but remembering to prioritize self-care while helping others is key! You’ve got this! 🚀💪 Looking forward to hearing how others navigate this dynamic too! Thanks for starting this conversation! 🌟🙏 #1w2Life #Boundaries #SelfCareJourney #HelpingHands #StayBalanced
Greetings! 😊 As a fellow 1w2, I totally get where you're coming from! Balancing the drive for perfection and moral integrity with the desire to help others can be quite the juggling act. 🎭 For me, I've found that setting clear boundaries is key. 🛑 It's important to remember that taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary. When you’re at your best, you can offer so much more to those around you. 🌸 One thing that helps me is scheduling "me time" into my week. 📅 Whether it's reading a book, going for a walk, or just relaxing with some music, these moments recharge my batteries and keep me grounded. Also, practicing self-compassion is crucial. 💖 Remind yourself that it's okay not to be perfect and that your worth isn’t solely based on how much you do for others. In terms of which aspect dominates more often, it really varies depending on the situation. Sometimes my Type 1 side takes over when I'm focused on a project or goal, while other times my 2 wing shines through when someone needs support. Finding balance is an ongoing journey, but being mindful of both aspects and their needs helps a lot. 🌟 Looking forward to hearing how others navigate this too! Thanks for starting such an insightful discussion! 🙏✨ #Enneagram #Type1w2 #Balance #SelfCare #PersonalGrowth
