Tip 3 Spend 1 hour in solitude every day... my response “Oh yes, definitely! And yet... nooooooooooooo!” 😂 But in a seriousness, yes. It gives time to answer the basic questions “How am I feeling right now? And what do I need? What’s going on inside of ME? And what are my needs?” And it’s how we find deep humility and connection with the Lord because of the opportunity to reflect and be still.❤️
I love how you use the word “skillful” when describing growth. It’s such a great term in my mind because the Hebrew word that is usually translated as “wisdom” most literally means “skill”. Wisdom is skill in living.
Every time I test I am a strong 2, with equal 1 and 3 wings. But I don't identify with this need to "help" all the time ( maybe I've aged out on that one with 3 kids and 8 grandkids). However, I still feel a deep desire to be meaningfully related to people and cared about as well as caring for them. Not all "thems" but the truly significant ones in my life.
Every time I test, I come up as a 2, but I am also an introvert. I actually love solitude and find that is where I renew. I would love to hear something on how those parts of our personality (introvert/extrovert) interact with the enneagram.
YES! So much this! I test as a 2 and strongly identify with the strengths and weaknesses, etc. except for this supposed need to be with others all the time. I love my alone time and like Deb, that is how I renew. My one-hour walk alone every day is vital to my emotional well-being, and I get cranky when the weather doesn't permit it. I second her request to hear more on the 2 as an introvert.
Hi Julie, It sounds like age has softened your need to be with people for unhealthy reasons compared to when you were younger! Peace and health to you and the those you love!
Are y'all 2w1's? Because those 2's seem to be the more introverted type (I'm one myself) and of course there are subtypes of the 2 where the so and sx seem more extroverted than the sp
Ian, you're the man!! Thanks for all you do. My wife (9) and I (2) love your podcast, and she sent me this video...yes, it was probably a hint. I definitely needed a solid dose of wisdom. This is the first time since the CoVID situation that I've been able to connect the uneasiness I've felt around trying to help others to my Enneagram type. Thank you again!
Why do 2’s sometimes work so hard on all different relationships except their love partner? It’s like by the time they get to you (spouse) nothing left.
Sounds like an unhealthy and underdeveloped 2. A strong 2 would reserve this for the one who would fulfil their secret need to feel wanted and deeply loved.

Thanks! I'm so glad you're practicing solitude. So helpful!! Cheers, Ian

Yeah my helpful acts are a way for me to receive validation at this current point in time :/ Not proud of it, but I'm working on it

me too!! I am definitely a two with motivation, but also an introvert and it would be nice to get more info on that type of personality type.
