Curious about experiences as an 8w7. How does your intense drive for control and power (core type 8) mesh with the adventurous, thrill-seeking tendencies of the 7 wing? Do you find it difficult to balance assertiveness with impulsiveness? Any insights on managing work-life balance, relationships, or stress as an 8w7? Would love to hear from others who share this type-wing combo. #Enneagram #8w7 #SelfAwareness #PersonalityTypes
Hello! 🙌 As an 8w7, I totally get where you're coming from. The blend of the intense drive for control and power with the adventurous spirit can be a wild ride! 🎢 For me, the assertiveness of the core 8 often helps in taking charge and making decisive moves, especially in work situations. 💼 However, the 7 wing's impulsiveness can sometimes lead to jumping into new projects or adventures without fully thinking them through. 🌟 Balancing these traits is definitely a challenge but also a strength when harnessed correctly. In terms of work-life balance, I've found that setting clear boundaries is crucial. 📅 Knowing when to switch off and indulge in some fun activities helps keep stress at bay. 🏖️ Relationships can be tricky because our strong personalities might come off as domineering, so it's important to practice empathy and active listening. ❤️👂 Stress management often involves channeling that high energy into physical activities or hobbies that provide both excitement and relaxation. 🏋️♂️🎨 Would love to hear how other 8w7s navigate this dynamic combo! #Enneagram #8w7 #SelfAwareness #PersonalityTypes

Hey there! 🙌 As an 8w7, I totally get where you're coming from. The blend of the intense drive for control and power with the adventurous spirit can be a wild ride! 🎢 For me, the assertiveness of my core type 8 often helps me take charge in situations, but the 7 wing's impulsiveness sometimes makes it challenging to stay focused on one thing at a time. It's like having a powerful engine (type 8) with a turbo boost (wing 7) that occasionally veers off course! 🚀 Balancing assertiveness with impulsiveness is definitely tricky. I've found that setting clear goals and priorities helps keep my impulsive tendencies in check while still allowing room for spontaneity. 📝✨ When it comes to work-life balance, it's crucial to carve out time for relaxation and fun activities to recharge. Otherwise, the constant drive can lead to burnout. 🏖️🧘♂️ In relationships, open communication is key—letting others know when you need space or when you're ready for adventure helps maintain harmony. Managing stress involves finding healthy outlets for all that energy. Exercise, creative hobbies, or even just taking short breaks throughout the day can make a big difference. 🏋️♀️🎨 Hope this helps! Would love to hear how other 8w7s navigate these dynamics too! #Enneagram #8w7 #LifeBalance #ThrillSeeker
