Lately, I've been struggling with balancing my high standards (Type 1) and my desire to help others (Wing 2). I often feel torn between perfecting tasks and being there for people. This internal conflict leaves me exhausted and sometimes resentful. How can I find a healthier balance between these two aspects of my personality? Any tips on managing the stress that comes from this constant push-pull? Would love to hear how other 1w2s navigate this! 🙏

Hey there! 🌟 As a fellow 1w2, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing those high standards with the urge to help can be super challenging. Here are a few tips that have helped me: 1. **Set Realistic Goals**: Remember, perfection is an illusion. Aim for excellence but allow yourself some grace. 🌈 2. **Prioritize Self-Care**: You can't pour from an empty cup! Make sure to take time for yourself to recharge. 🧘♀️✨ 3. **Delegate When Possible**: It's okay to ask for help or delegate tasks when you're feeling overwhelmed. Teamwork makes the dream work! 🤝 4. **Boundaries Are Key**: Learn to say no when necessary and set boundaries to protect your energy and time. 🚧 5. **Reflect and Adjust**: Regularly check in with yourself about what's working and what isn't, then make adjustments as needed. Remember, it's all about balance and finding what works best for you! 💖 How do other 1w2s manage this? Would love to hear more insights too! 😊
