Hello everyone! I've been delving into enneagram studies lately and I find myself resonating a lot with Type 8, particularly the 8w7 wing. For other 8w7's out there, how do you balance the assertive, dominant nature of 8 with the enthusiastic, energetic aspects of 7? In what areas do you experience potential conflicts? And how has understanding your enneagram type aided in your personal growth? Would love to hear about your experiences and insights. 😊🙏 #Enneagram #Type8w7

Howdy! 🙋‍♂️ It's fantastic to see your enthusiasm for the enneagram, especially as a fellow 8w7! 🌟 Balancing the powerful drive of an 8 with the high energy and adventurous spirit of a 7 can certainly be a dynamic combo. For me, one key area where these traits intersect is in leadership roles - having the assertiveness to take charge and the zest to inspire others is a huge plus! 💪🔥 However, I do face conflicts when my 8 wing's desire for control clashes with my 7 wing's need for spontaneity and freedom. It can be a bit of a tug-of-war between wanting to dominate situations and wanting to explore new options. Finding a balance involves a lot of self-awareness and sometimes, taking a step back to really consider what's driving my actions. 🤔 Understanding my enneagram type has been a game-changer for personal growth. Being aware of my potential for over-exertion and learning to channel my energy into constructive avenues has helped me maintain healthier relationships and achieve more balanced success. 🙏✨ It’s a journey, but totally worth it! Would love to hear more about your experiences too! 😊 #8w7Squad #EnneagramJourney

Hello! 😊 It's fantastic that you're diving into the world of the Enneagram and finding resonance with Type 8w7. As a fellow 8w7, I relate to the dynamic of blending assertiveness with enthusiasm and energy. 💪🔥 One way I balance the two is by channeling my assertiveness into pursuits I'm passionate about, which keeps me energized and engaged. For example, I focus on goals that align with my personal interests, making the journey both driven and enjoyable. 🎯🌟 Potential conflicts often arise when my need for control (from the 8) clashes with my spontaneous and adventurous side (from the 7). I've learned to recognize when to step back and allow some flexibility, which helps maintain a healthy balance. 🧘‍♂️⚖️ Understanding my Enneagram type has been a game-changer for my personal growth. It has helped me recognize my strengths and also areas that need attention, allowing me to work on becoming a more balanced individual. 🌱✨ Would love to hear more about your journey too! 🙌 #Enneagram #Type8w7

Hiya! 🙌 So great to see another 8w7 diving deep into the enneagram world! 🌟 Balancing the assertiveness of an 8 with the high-energy vibe of a 7 can be quite the dance! 💃🕺 For me, the dominant nature of the 8 often drives me to take charge and be in control, while the enthusiastic 7 side keeps me seeking new adventures and experiences. 🌍✨ The trickiest part? Sometimes my 8's need for control clashes with my 7’s desire for freedom and spontaneity. It can feel like being torn between planning everything meticulously and just going with the flow! 🌀 One area of potential conflict is decision-making: the 8 in me wants to make quick, firm decisions, whereas the 7 prefers to keep options open and explore possibilities. This can be both exhilarating and exhausting! 😅 Understanding my enneagram type has been a game-changer for my personal growth. 🌱 It’s helped me recognize when my dominant traits might be overwhelming others and when my energetic side needs to be tempered a bit. Meditation and mindfulness practices have been key in finding that balance. 🧘‍♂️🙏 How do you manage the push and pull of 8 and 7? Would love to hear your strategies! 💬😊 #EnneagramJourney #Type8w7

Howdy! 🌟 Fellow 8w7 here! 🙋‍♀️ Balancing the assertiveness of an 8 with the vibrant energy of a 7 can definitely be a wild ride! 🎢 For me, it's all about harnessing that powerful drive and channeling it into positive, productive activities. 🏋️‍♂️💪 I find that setting clear goals helps me stay focused and avoid getting too scattered by my 7's enthusiasm. 📋✨ Potential conflicts often arise when my Type 8 side's need for control clashes with my Type 7 wing's desire for spontaneity. 😅 But learning to recognize when this happens allows me to take a step back and reassess the situation. 🧘‍♂️🔍 Understanding my enneagram type has been a game-changer for personal growth. 🚀 It's offered me insights into my strengths and blind spots, helping me navigate relationships and manage stress better. 🌈🌱 Would love to hear how others manage this dynamic mix! 😊💬 #Type8w7Power #BalancingAct #SelfAwareness

Hey! Welcome to the enneagram journey! 🌟 As a fellow 8w7, I totally get where you're coming from. Balancing the fierce independence and assertiveness of Type 8 with the vibrant and adventurous spirit of a Type 7 can indeed be a wild ride. 🏞💪 For me, the key is finding outlets that satisfy both aspects. I love organizing group activities or leading projects where I can channel my assertiveness but also infuse them with that 7-ish enthusiasm and joy. 🎉📈 Potential conflicts? Definitely. Sometimes, the 8's desire to control can clash with the 7's craving for spontaneity and freedom. It's like having a foot on the gas and the brake at the same time! 🚗💥 But being aware of this dynamic helps me step back and reassess my approach when I feel tugged in both directions. Understanding my enneagram type has been a game-changer. It’s taught me to harness my strengths and be mindful of my blind spots. Personal growth for me has meant leaning into vulnerability and learning that it’s okay to let down my guard sometimes. 🌱💖 Can’t wait to hear more from other 8w7s and their experiences! 😊✨ #EnneagramCommunity #8w7Vibes
