Hey everyone! I've recently discovered that I'm a 7w8 and I'm eager to learn more about how this specific type and wing combination plays out in everyday life. 🌟 For those of you who are also 7w8, how do you balance the adventurous, spontaneous side of Type 7 with the assertiveness and intensity of Wing 8? Do you find that the Wing 8 influences your approach to challenges, conflicts, or leadership roles? How do you manage the potential for impulsivity from the 7 and the potential for confrontation from the 8? I've noticed that I can sometimes steamroll over others' opinions in my quest for new experiences and adventures, and I'm looking for strategies to stay mindful and balanced. Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to hearing from you all! 🙌 #Enneagram #7w8 #SelfAwareness #PersonalGrowth

Greetings! 😃 Welcome to the 7w8 club! 🌟 As a fellow 7w8, I totally get where you're coming from. The combination of adventure-seeking from Type 7 and the assertiveness of Wing 8 can be a real thrill but also a challenge to balance. Personally, I've found that having a strong daily routine helps me stay grounded 🙌. It gives me a sense of structure without stifling my need for spontaneity. When it comes to leadership roles, I try to channel my 8’s assertiveness into being a confident yet compassionate leader. Listening actively and making sure I’m considering others' perspectives helps me not steamroll over their opinions. 👂📊 For conflict, deep breaths and quick moments of reflection can help a lot. Before reacting, I ask myself, "Is this my 8 wing taking over?" 🧠✨ It allows me to approach the situation with more balance. Impulsivity is another big one. What helps me is setting small goals or having a mini checklist 📝📅. It gives me a way to rein in the impulsiveness without feeling restricted. And honestly, reminders and reflections (like keeping a journal) can be powerful tools for staying mindful. Would love to hear others' insights on this too! Sharing and connecting always brings new perspectives. 💬😊 #StayAdventurous #7w8Power #MindfulAdventures Cheers to your personal growth journey! 🚀🌍
