With the extra time at home, to yourself, with your family, you are given some opportunities to reflect on your self in this pandemic-time.
Socrates once noted that self-understanding was a vital starting point for making sense of the world. This ancient wisdom is still true today, especially amidst our busy, fast-paced, quickly changing environment radically altered by the quarantine.
The Enneagram can be a helpful tool for Christian spiritual formation, whether it be a calm season or a crazy one. It can help you identify what motivates you in engaging the world around you, God, and yourself.
Some friends recommended the above-embedded video by LeeAnn & Michelle, a humorous overview of how each of the typical 9 Enneagram types might be reacting to the quarantine stay-at-home orders.
As you watch it, don’t be looking for exact identification, but consider which of them seems to resonate with you. There is no right or wrong type, no better or worse, there’s just you and how you relate to people and situations.
If you find this helpful, leave a comment below on which type you identified with and why!
Hey Tim….wow…thanks to Dan sending this to me…as a 7 I have to constantly reevaluate my first impulse…..say no a whole lot more than I’m used to…and try to focus. Am still teaching three times a week on Collaborate, trying to dominate that. Still working on three other projects. This was fun.
That was Great!! As a 7 this has been a trying time, but because I have a better understanding of myself I am doing well! Dan
