Hey! 🌟 As a fellow Enneagram enthusiast, I love this topic! I'm a Type 7, and learning about my core desire for freedom and fear of being trapped or deprived has been a game-changer for me. 😄 Knowing I'm a Type 7 has helped me understand why I always seek new experiences and get restless easily. It's made me more mindful about committing to things and appreciating the present moment rather than always looking for what's next. 🌈 One big "aha" moment was realizing how my avoidance of pain can sometimes stop me from dealing with important issues. Now, I try to face challenges head-on rather than skirting around them. 🚀 Regarding resources, "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Riso and Russ Hudson has been incredibly insightful. Also, the Enneagram Institute's online tests and deeper dive articles are super helpful! 📚✨ For personal growth, I recommend journaling your thoughts and feelings related to your type. It helps in recognizing patterns and working through emotions effectively. Also, connecting with other Enneagram types in forums like this is gold! 📝💬 Looking forward to hearing more stories and tips from everyone! 😊🌟 #EnneagramJourney #SelfDiscovery #GrowthMindset
