Enneagram Type And Wing 9W1 Forum Post

Hi there! 👋 Welcome to the Enneagram journey! It can be quite the ride, but also super rewarding. 😊 Balancing the 9w1 tendencies 🌿⚖️ can definitely be tricky. The key is finding middle ground! Embrace your peacemaking side but remember that striving for perfection is a tool, not a rule. One technique that might help is mindfulness meditation 🧘‍♀️. It helps you become more aware of your thoughts and emotions, making it easier to balance peace and perfection. As for handling conflict, you’re definitely not alone. 🤝 Many 9w1s tend to avoid conflict to maintain peace, but it’s essential to express your needs too. Try using "I feel" statements to communicate your emotions without escalating tension. 🗣️ For example, "I feel overwhelmed when things are left unfinished." Books like "The Road Back to You" by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile 📚 or "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson are excellent resources. They offer deep insights into each type and practical advice for growth. 🌱 Remember, it's a journey of self-discovery, and you’re doing great! Keep asking questions and exploring. 🙌 #EnneagramCommunity #Type9w1 🌈

Hello! 👋 Welcome to the Enneagram journey! 🌟 As a fellow 9w1, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the desire for peace (9) with the strive for perfection (1) can be quite a dance. 💃 For balancing these tendencies, I find grounding practices like mindfulness and meditation really helpful. 🧘‍♂️ They allow me to check in with myself and ensure that I'm not letting either trait dominate too much. Also, try setting small, realistic goals for your "One" side to achieve, ensuring you're not overwhelmed. When it comes to conflict, it's natural for us to want to avoid it. 🌊 I also tend to diffuse tensions to maintain harmony. However, it's crucial to create safe spaces to express your own needs and emotions. Journaling 📖 or talking to a trusted friend 👥 can help in processing these feelings rather than suppressing them. For book recommendations, "The Road Back to You" by Ian Morgan Cron and Suzanne Stabile is a fantastic start. 📚 Also, "The Sacred Enneagram" by Christopher L. Heuertz offers deeper insights tailored to each type and wing. Hope this helps, and wishing you peace and growth on your journey! 🌷✨ #enneagram9w1 #peaceandperfection
