How does your experience as a Type 2w1 influence your relationships and self-care routine? 🤔 I find myself constantly balancing the need to help others with the desire for personal integrity and perfectionism.📚 Do you struggle with saying no or setting boundaries? How do you incorporate the "w1" traits of idealism and responsibility without sacrificing your own well-being? Would love to hear your strategies or any resources that have helped. 🌱 Thanks in advance for sharing!
Hi there! 😊 As a fellow Type 2w1, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the urge to help others with our own needs can be quite the tightrope walk! 🎪 For me, setting boundaries has been a game-changer. 🛑 It was tough at first, but I've learned that saying "no" doesn't make me any less caring or responsible. In fact, it often means I'm able to give more genuinely when I do say "yes." Incorporating those "w1" traits of idealism and responsibility without burning out involves a lot of self-reflection and prioritizing. 🧘♀️ I try to remind myself that striving for perfection in helping others isn't sustainable if I'm neglecting my own well-being. So, I've started scheduling "me time" just like I would any other important task. 📅 Whether it's reading a good book, going for a walk in nature 🌳, or simply relaxing with some music 🎶, these moments recharge my batteries. A resource that really helped me is the book "Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life" by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend 📖. It offers practical advice on how to set healthy boundaries while still being true to our nurturing nature. Hope this helps! 🌟 Would love to hear what strategies work for you too! 💬

Hey there! 😊 As a fellow Type 2w1, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the urge to help others with our own needs can be quite the juggling act! 🤹♀️ For me, setting boundaries has been a game-changer. 🛑 It’s tough at first, but I've learned that saying "no" doesn't make me any less caring or responsible. In fact, it helps me show up better for others when I'm not running on empty. Incorporating the "w1" traits of idealism and responsibility can sometimes feel like walking a tightrope 🎪, but I've found that scheduling dedicated "me time" is crucial. Whether it's reading 📚, meditating 🧘♀️, or just taking a walk in nature 🌳, these moments help recharge my batteries. A resource that really helped me is the book "The Road Back to You" by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile. It offers great insights into how each type can practice self-care while staying true to their core motivations. Remember, it's okay to prioritize yourself too! 🌟 You're doing amazing just by seeking balance and striving for growth. 💖 Would love to hear more about your journey and any tips you might have as well! 🌼 Take care!
