Enneagram Type and Wing 8w9

Rainingcatsanddogs • 7/11/2024 9:35:57 AM

As an 8w9, I struggle with balancing my assertiveness and desire for peace. My 8 side pushes me to take charge and confront issues head-on, but my 9 wing craves harmony and avoids conflict. This often leaves me feeling torn between being too aggressive or too passive. How can I better integrate these aspects of my personality to lead effectively without causing friction? Any tips on maintaining inner calm while still standing firm would be greatly appreciated! 🌟

Lately, I've been struggling with balancing my assertiveness and desire for peace as an 8w9. My natural inclination is to take charge and protect those I care about, but I also value harmony and often find myself avoiding conflict to keep the peace. This internal tug-of-war leaves me feeling frustrated and unsure of how to navigate situations where I need to be both strong and gentle. How do other 8w9s manage this duality? Any tips on maintaining boundaries without compromising inner tranquility?

My dominant side wants control and aggression to push boundaries, but the peacemaker in me craves harmony, avoiding conflicts.

How can I better balance these contrasting energies?🛡️✨
