Enneagram Type and Wing 1w2

Yougotthisgirl • 7/10/2024 11:20:57 AM

Lately, I've been struggling with balancing my high standards (Type 1) and my desire to help others (Wing 2). I often feel torn between perfecting tasks and being there for people. This internal conflict leaves me exhausted and sometimes resentful. How can I find a healthier balance between these two aspects of my personality? Any tips on managing the stress that comes from this constant push-pull? Would love to hear how other 1w2s navigate this! 🙏

As a 1w2, I struggle with balancing my need for perfection and my desire to help others. My inner critic is relentless, making it hard to accept anything less than perfect from myself or those around me. This often leads to frustration and burnout. At the same time, my 2 wing pushes me to be supportive and nurturing, but I sometimes overextend myself trying to meet everyone's needs. How can I find a healthier balance between self-improvement and self-compassion while still being there for others? Any tips on managing these conflicting drives?
