Video: Happiness for Enneagram Type 3

[highlander]

• Description of Enneagram 3 at the best, how they move into "doing" mode, achieving and have a sense of separation from their true self. Being a 3 is about prestige and being perceived as by others as successful and leading the perfect life at home. Great Gatsby, Victoria Beckham, and Oprah Winfrey are good examples. They are putting an image of what a successful person can do. They tell stories about themselves. Sifting of image to impress each other can lead to an unhealthy core. They are the pushy parents that want their kids to do all these activities. America is a very 3ish culture. The video also talks about how 3s can move towards more positive levels of health. Being separated from yourself brings suffering vs. happiness. When the 3 stops all the trying, exhaustion sets in. The word "stop" is the key to the 3 to moving towards a more fulfilling life. Once we can find the stillness, a deeper motivation comes forward from the self vs. the identity that they attach to a goal. They become more relaxed and able to follow their inner guidance and life becomes more of an exciting journey of discovery.
