Hey all! 👋I've been trying to focus on self-improvement and personal growth lately, especially through the lens of the Enneagram. I am curious to know how you all utilize your Enneagram types not just to understand yourself better, but actively to understand how to grow, change, and reach your full potential. 🌱 What particular practices or activities have you found useful for personal development linked to your Enneagram type? Do you have any recommended resources (books, podcasts, retreats etc.) or tools that have been instrumental in this journey? Looking forward to your responses! 💡Thank you.

I also utilize meditation 🧘♀️ and journaling 📓 to help me process emotions and better understand my tendency to help others often to the point of neglecting myself. Recommended reading is “The Wisdom of the Enneagram” by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson. It offers practical advice for each type for growth. 👍 Wish you the best on your journey! 🌈
