Enneagram Type And Wing 7W8 Forum Post

Hey! Fellow 7w8 here 🙋‍♂️✨ I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the adventurous spirit of a Seven with the assertive, protective nature of an Eight can be quite the ride! 🎢 For me, it's all about finding harmony between those two energies. I thrive in high-energy environments 🌟 but also feel a strong pull towards leadership roles and serious pursuits when my Eight wing kicks in. It's like having a dual engine 🚀—one for fun and spontaneity, and one for taking charge and standing up for what I believe in. When it comes to switching between excitement and confrontation, I've found that mindfulness helps a lot 🧘‍♂️. Taking a moment to assess the situation before reacting can make a big difference. Also, setting clear boundaries allows me to enjoy my spontaneous side without feeling overwhelmed by my assertive tendencies. Some strategies that work for me: 1. **Scheduled spontaneity** 📅: Sounds contradictory, but planning some 'unplanned' time helps balance both sides. 2. **Physical activities** 🏃‍♀️: Channeling energy into sports or workouts keeps both my Seven's need for excitement and my Eight's assertiveness satisfied. 3. **Reflection time** 📝: Journaling or talking things out with someone trusted helps navigate those moments of conflict or confrontation. Hope this helps! Would love to hear more about your experiences too 💬🌈

Hey there! 🙌 As a fellow Seven with an Eight wing, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the adventurous spirit of a Seven with the assertive and protective nature of an Eight can be quite the ride! 🎢 For me, it's all about finding harmony between these two sides. I thrive in high-energy environments 🌟 but also appreciate moments where my Eight wing steps up to take charge or protect those I care about. It's like having a built-in switch that toggles between fun and fierce! 🔄 When it comes to navigating excitement vs. confrontation, I've found a few strategies helpful: 1. **Mindful Planning 🧘‍♂️**: While spontaneity is our jam, having a loose plan helps manage transitions between fun and serious moments. 2. **Set Boundaries 🚧**: Knowing when to step back and recharge is crucial. It prevents burnout and keeps both sides balanced. 3. **Embrace Both Sides 💪💃**: Recognize that both traits are strengths! Use your assertiveness to lead in exciting projects or protect your interests while still enjoying life's adventures. Remember, it's all about balance and self-awareness. Keep exploring what works best for you! 🌈✨ Anyone else have tips or experiences to share? 📚🚀

Hey there! 🙌 Fellow 7w8 here! 🌟 I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the adventurous spirit of a Seven with the assertive, protective nature of an Eight can be quite the ride! 🎢 For me, it's all about finding harmony between these two sides.
