#251 Unlocking the Secret to Never Feeling Overwhelmed: The Power of the Enneagram

The feeling of being overwhelmed, stuck, and overextended doesn’t have to be your natural state (even if it is the common state of America). We have become so used to feeling overwhelmed that it’s become the silver medal to our “busy” lifestyle. It doesn’t have to be that way! As an entrepreneur, I feel like we get a double whammy of it. We are multi-passionate, multi-faceted, and multi-visionaries (we have goals for ourselves, our families, and our businesses). 

 

It doesn’t have be this way! One of the biggest challenges we have in understanding why we do what we do so that we can have what we want to have. We are not afraid of hard work…and yet we find ourselves working so hard- just to make things work. It doesn’t have to be this way! 

 

Today I talk about my client, Sarah, who is an amazing woman, really she was considered to be supermom. And she was tired. She felt like she was never enough and if she said no to something that she would be a failure or worse- never asked to do something again. When we started diving into her story and her choices. We first started with the Enneagram. 

 

“This changed everything for me,” said Sarah, “this has helped me understand my needs, desires, and goals more than anything else and now I can set boundaries and still feel needed.” 

 

What would be possible for you if you knew why you did what you did and how to adapt to start doing what you want and need to do rather than your instinctual reaction?  

Let’s dive in! 

 

The 5 Ways the Enneagram Elevates Self Awareness:

1. Clarifying Your Why: Understand your core motivations and align your actions with your purpose.
2. Spotting Blind Spots: Recognize your weaknesses and make strategic decisions to avoid pitfalls.
3. Building Stronger Relationships: Improve communication and anticipate needs, strengthening connections with clients, partners, and loved ones.
4. Leading Authentically: Lead confidently and authentically, attracting the right people and building a brand that reflects the true you.
5. Mastering Emotional Responses: Manage your emotions effectively and maintain clarity even in challenging situations.

Journal Question: 

When was the last time you felt overwhelmed, stuck, or burnt out? Did you feel like you were saying yes to things that you didn’t want to or no to things you long to do? Reflect on the reason why you felt compelled to say yes or no. If you could have done it differently, what would you have done?
