Enneagram Type 7

Ahh the “joy bomb” of the Enneagram! These fun-loving, pleasure-seeking, enthusiastic people really bring some light to the world. 🥳🎊

While they can be all about the fun, 7s can also be very productive people who channel their enthusiasm into being busy at work, creating multiple options for their clients or the team to ensure satisfaction. 💃🤓📊

They tend not to put any brakes on themselves & can struggle with boundaries or limitations which can make them seem scattered when less healthy. 🏃‍♀️⌛️🙃

Although 7s are the light hearted, excitable personalities of the Enneagram the truth about this type is that they are also running from their anxiety. 🫣

It’s the deep, often unconscious fear that they may never find what they really want in life that creates this anxiety. 7s cope with this in two ways:

•1) They tend to try everything (food, experiences, people, products etc.) & resort to settling for anything that keeps them distracted from not getting what they really want.

•2) They try to occupy their minds at all times & make plans for the future because this can to some extent keep the anxiety at bay.

The essential work for a 7 is to slow their mind down & tolerate the anxiety that arises so that things can affect them more deeply & they can begin to find the truth, clarity & innovation that comes from having more introspection & being more in touch with these natural instincts. 🧘

Anxiety is not necessarily bad. In fact, when it’s not an actual anxiety disorder, it’s a healthy response trying to call us to action & keep us safe! If we listen close enough it can be transformative.⛈️🌦️☀️

From this place of self-awareness and connectedness, 7s can then find their own internal guidance as well as the wider acceptance they actually long for. ✨

Now that’s the kind of fun-loving, self-aware, considerate friend EVERYONE wants to have! 🤩
