I'm a Type 7 too! I find it helpful to mix routines with new activities. Maybe try planning something new once a week? Keeps the spark without overwhelming commitment.
Definitely, as a Type 7 myself, I totally understand where you're coming from. Sticking to commitments often feels like being in a bind. Over the years, though, I've discovered a few strategies that help me balance my need for variety with maintaining healthy relationships. First, I try to communicate my need for freedom and variety early on in any relationship, be it personal or professional. This creates an atmosphere of understanding and sets the right expectations. Second, I make sure to incorporate variety in my commitments. For instance, in a job I might seek roles that have a degree of unpredictability or require creative problem solving so it doesn't seem like a monotonous commitment. Also, when I do make commitments, I try to ensure they are short-term. This helps balance my need for change with my need to fulfill my obligations. Most importantly, I prioritize. Understanding the commitments that are worth sticking to has been a major shift in my habits. It's about understanding which relationships I truly value and want to nurture, as they often bring a kind of variety and richness of experience that simply jumping from one thing to the next cannot. Always remember, our need for variety is a strength. We just need to channel it well. Do share if you follow any other strategies to strike a balance.
