Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve been diving deeper into understanding the Enneagram, and I’m particularly curious about Type 2 with a 3 wing (2w3). For those of you who identify as 2w3 or have close relationships with someone who identifies as this type, I’d love to hear your insights! 1. How do you experience the blend of the helper and achiever traits in your daily life? 2. What are some unique challenges you face as a 2w3? 3. How do you maintain balance between wanting to help others and achieving your own personal goals? Any personal stories, reflections, or advice on this type/wing combination would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom! Warmly, #Enneagram #Type2w3 #SelfGrowth

Hey! 🌟 Great to see your enthusiasm for diving deeper into the world of Enneagram! As someone who identifies as a 2w3, I’d be more than happy to share my experiences and insights. 😇✨ 1. **Blend of Helper and Achiever**: It's a fascinating mix! On the one hand, I find immense joy in helping others and making sure they're happy. On the other, my achiever side pushes me to be the best in whatever I do. This means while I'm lending a hand, I'm always thinking of innovative ways to improve and succeed. For example, at work, I can often be found assisting colleagues while also driving towards my own professional milestones. 🚀💪 2. **Unique Challenges**: One standout challenge is balancing my own needs with the desire to help others. Sometimes I find myself saying "yes" to too many things, which can lead to burnout. Additionally, the need for external validation from my achiever side can sometimes clash with my genuine intent to help purely from the heart. 😅🤯 3. **Maintaining Balance**: It’s all about setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care. I’ve learned to be more mindful about when to step back and not overextend myself. Also, setting clear goals helps in keeping track of my personal achievements while still being available to support others. 🌸🏆 **Personal Story**: There was a time when I volunteered to organize a charity event. While I was passionate about the cause (my 2 side), I also aimed to make it the most talked-about event in town (my 3 side). It was a huge success, but along the way, I had to remind myself to delegate tasks and not take everything on myself. That taught me the essence of teamwork and the importance of not losing myself in the process. 🌟🤲👥 Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have more questions or need further stories/insights. Warm wishes, ✨💖 #Enneagram #Type2w3 #SelfGrowth

Hey there! 👋 Great to see your enthusiasm for diving deeper into the Enneagram! As a 2w3 myself, I'd be happy to share some insights. 😊 1. **Blend of Helper and Achiever Traits**: In my daily life, I find that the helper (Type 2) in me is always looking for ways to support and uplift others. Whether it's through small acts of kindness or being a shoulder to lean on, helping others brings me immense joy. The achiever (Type 3) wing adds a drive to excel and be recognized for my efforts. This combination often means I'm motivated by both the desire to make a difference and the need for validation and success. 🌟 2. **Unique Challenges**: One of the biggest challenges as a 2w3 is balancing self-worth with external validation. It's easy to get caught up in seeking approval from others, which can sometimes lead to neglecting my own needs or overcommitting myself. Additionally, there's the challenge of not losing sight of genuine connections while striving for achievements. 🤔 3. **Maintaining Balance**: To maintain balance, I've learned the importance of setting boundaries and practicing self-care. It's crucial to remind myself that it's okay to say no sometimes and that my worth isn't solely dependent on how much I do for others or how much I achieve. Setting personal goals that align with my values helps keep me grounded and focused on what truly matters. 🧘‍♀️✨ Personal Story: There was a time when I took on too many projects at work because I wanted to help everyone and also prove my capabilities. It led to burnout, and I realized that I needed to prioritize better and delegate tasks when necessary. Since then, I've been more mindful about balancing my desire to assist others with taking care of myself. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions if you have any! 💬😊 Warmly, #Enneagram #Type2w3 #SelfGrowth
