List from this page or these pages Personal Growth and Spiritual Growth Through the Enneagram whichever area you think/feel you need to work on the most (don't go crazy now). I know I need to solve some unhealthy issues. When I am fine, I feel indestructible, when I am not fine, I feel like I fell down a rabbit hole and time just keeps slipping by. I find the pages very helpful and I have a lot of time on my hands at the moment. And apparently, I have a lot to work on. So I see here that I am clearly a 4 with a 5 wing striving toward the 1, I can relate to all three profiles. I looked through the others and they were foreign issues to me.
4: Fours do not see that the self is not the same as its feelings or that the presence of negative feelings does not preclude the presence of good in themselves" (Personality Types, p. 172). Always remember that your feelings are telling you something about yourself as you are at this particular moment, not necessarily more than that.
*Avoid putting off things until you are "in the right mood." Working consistently in the real world will create a context in which you can discover yourself and your talents.
* A wholesome self-discipline takes many forms, from sleeping regular hours to working regularly to exercising regularly, and has a cumulative, strengthening effect. Therefore, practice healthy self-discipline and stay with it.
* Avoid lengthy conversations in your imagination, particularly if they are negative, resentful, or even excessively romantic.
Five:
* You see many possibilities but often do not know how to choose among them or judge which is more or less important. When you are caught in your fixation, a sense of perspective can be missing, and with it the ability to make accurate assessments. At such time, it can be helpful to get the advice of someone whose judgment you trust while you are gaining perspective on your situation. Doing this can also help you trust someone else, a difficulty for your type.
* Fives tend to find it difficult to trust people, to open up to them emotionally, or to make themselves accessible in various ways. It is important to remember that having conflicts with others is not unusual and that the healthy thing is to work them out rather than reject attachments with people by withdrawing into isolation.
One:
# It is easy for you to work yourself up into a lather about the wrongdoings of others. Similarly, beware of your constant irritation with your own "shortcomings." Does your own harsh self-criticism really help you to improve? Or does it simply make you tense, nervous, and self-doubting? Learn to recognize the attacks of your superego and how they undermine you rather than helping you.
# You may find that you are uneasy with your emotions and your sexual and aggressive impulses—in short, with the messy human things that make us human. to see that others will not condemn you for having human needs and limitations.
