The Enneagram is a tool that can help you build a life of #freedom and #authenticity. It differs from other personality typing systems like Myers Briggs and even astrology because the end goal is not the same. The goal of the Enneagram is to identify the strategy that you may have created for yourself as a child. When you identify this strategy, you can see where your #limitingbeliefs developed and no longer hold yourself back with outdated constraints. Today, co-hosts Ben Easter, Paige Easter, and Clayton Olsen talk about how to free yourself from your trance through the use of the Enneagram. There are many personality typing systems, but the Enneagram is a particularly useful one for #selfdevelopment because it aims to reveal your development trajectory. As a child, you develop armor to protect yourself in the world and this armor shows up as your personality. This armor served a purpose at the time, but now as an adult, it is helpful to peel it back to see your true essence underneath. To get started, you can use one of the online Enneagram tests to determine your number from 1 to 9. Be aware that these tests get pretty deep and can reveal your hidden insecurities and vulnerabilities. As you learn more about the numbers, you will likely find that the description which triggers you the most emotionally is the category that you fall into.Personality assessments can be useful tools, but rather than think of them as prescriptions for how you should behave, think of them more like descriptions for how you tend to be. The Enneagram is different because it not only reveals the box that may be limiting you, but also shows you a pathway to freedom from that box. Learn more about the nine Enneagram types and what your type means for you, so that you can live a more authentic life. Quotes“The aim of the Enneagram is to distinguish the box that you might be in so that you can create freedom in your life and actually not be constrained by it any longer.” (3:59-4:10 | Clayton) “The Enneagram is a way of talking about the different ways that we come up with to navigate reality such that we get to keep the body alive.” (25:13-25:22 | Ben) LinksConnect with Clayton:Website: https://claytonolsoncoaching.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtKW9swe4-j596iCIh2_nrA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claytonrolson/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/claytonolsoncoaching/Connect with Ben and Paige:Website: https://lucidshiftcoaching.com/Lucid Shift Coaching IG: https://www.instagram.com/lucid_shift_coaching/Project Candlelight: https://airtable.com/shr5p0P2793RtRk2kPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.
