Deep dives
New Year's Resolutions and Integrating Anygram Types
The podcast episode explores the idea of New Year's resolutions and how they can be generated from different parts related to one's anygram type. The hosts, Tammy and Joan, discuss the importance of recognizing that resolutions can be influenced by type-related protectors and may not always align with self-energy. They emphasize the significance of finding a balance between parts-led resolutions and resolutions that are more self-led. They provide specific suggestions for each anygram type, such as practicing being present for four and cultivating self-focus for six. The episode ultimately encourages listeners to reflect on their own anygram types and discover resolutions that foster self-awareness and growth.
Creating Space for Self in New Year's Resolutions
The hosts highlight the importance of creating space for self in New Year's resolutions. They emphasize the need to move away from parts-led goals and focus on practices that allow for more self-energy. They discuss specific examples for each anygram type, such as appreciating simplicity for two and practicing being in the present moment for four. The hosts emphasize the role of balance in setting resolutions that foster self-connection and personal growth. They encourage listeners to consider incorporating practices that cultivate self-awareness and self-led change in their resolutions.
Finding Balance and Spaciousness in New Year's Resolutions
The episode explores the concept of balance and spaciousness in New Year's resolutions. The hosts discuss how certain anygram types tend to focus on specific aspects, such as detail for ones or future-oriented adventures for sevens. They suggest finding a balance between these tendencies and focusing on practices that promote more spaciousness and perspective. Specific resolutions are mentioned, such as taking one breath before speaking for eights and learning to distinguish between detail and overview for ones. The hosts encourage listeners to embrace resolutions that allow for more balance and a broader perspective in their lives.
Discovering Authentic Resolutions for the New Year
The hosts encourage listeners to discover resolutions that align with their authentic selves for the new year. They discuss how anygram types and type-related protectors can influence resolutions, often leading to polarized or parts-led goals. The hosts suggest practices that can help individuals connect to their true selves and embrace resolutions that prioritize self-awareness and personal growth. Examples are provided for each anygram type, such as practicing self-care and boundary-setting for twos and cultivating a focus on self rather than others for fours. The episode emphasizes the importance of self-led resolutions that promote authenticity and well-being.
On today's episode, Joan Ryan and I talk about New Years resolutions that may be generated by the Parts of us found in our Enneagram Type. We know that Parts inside Type are our Major Players in our system. The Enneagram gives us a short cut to bring awareness to these parts, to help us unblend, and to bring more Self energy forward.
