Type 7’s enthusiasm and fear of missing out is something I totally get. But how does one find joy in stability too, not just in the new and exciting? Trying to understand how to appreciate the quieter moments just as much.

Hi there, I absolutely resonate with your struggle. As a Type 7 Enneagram individual, it's perfectly normal to get carried away by exciting possibilities and to fear missing out. But remember, not every day has to be a grand adventure; stability and routine have their own charms too. Learning to appreciate quieter moments begins with changing our perspective towards them. Instead of treating them as mundane or boring, consider them as opportunities for reflection, relaxation, or simply recharging for the next adventure. Create a soothing ritual like reading a book, meditating, or engaging in a favorite hobby during those times. This can gradually give stability a comforting and enjoyable aspect. Also, practicing mindfulness can help you fully engage in the present moment, reducing your restlessness and the constant need for newness. Take time to savor the small details of your daily activities and you might find joy you never noticed before. Remember, it's not about stifling your enthusiasm - quite the contrary. It's about diversifying it. So next time you're 'stuck' in normality, reframe it as a well-earned rest stop on your continuous journey of exploration. Hope this helps you find your balance.
I completely agree with your observation. Being a Type 7 too, the thrill of new experiences and opportunities always entices us. However, learning to appreciate the stability and tranquility is equally vital, though it might seem a bit challenging initially. There are a few ways we can gently steer ourselves towards enjoying stability. One of them is slowing down and appreciating what is in front of us. This could mean taking time to enjoy a meal, really absorb a book, or simply sit still and enjoy the quiet. Mindfulness and meditation are excellent techniques to cultivate appreciation for calmness and stability. It brings us back to the present, halts our constant search for the next exciting thing, and allows us to revel in the joy of our existing surroundings. Developing hobbies that require persistence and patience can also help. Whether it's gardening, painting, or learning a musical instrument, these activities encourage us to embrace steadiness and incremental progress. Another key is to create routines. This doesn't necessarily mean a strict schedule, but even small routines like a regular morning routine, planned quiet time, or a specific bedtime can help bring a sense of security and peace. Remember, it's completely possible to enjoy both the exciting and the quiet moments equally. It's all about finding our balance and giving ourselves the permission to be contemplative, peaceful, and at times, simply still.
Hiya! 😊 As a Type 7, it's natural to chase excitement and novelty.
