Unmask your inner self! Dive deep with Enneagram activities - unlock your type through play and reflection.


 The Enneagram is a powerful tool for self-discovery, but exploring your type can sometimes feel overwhelming. Here are some fun and insightful activities you can do on your own to delve deeper into your Enneagram journey:

1. The Movie Matchmaker:

  • Concept: Select movies with characters that resonate with your core type.
  • Activity: Watch the movie and analyze the character's motivations, fears, and actions. How do they reflect your own Enneagram type?
  • Example: If you identify as a Type 7 (The Enthusiast), you might choose a movie like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and explore the character's zest for life and fear of missing out.

2. The Soundtrack of Your Soul:

  • Concept: Create a playlist that reflects your Enneagram type's energy and emotions.
  • Activity: Choose songs that embody your core motivations, fears, and even your growth potential.
  • Example: A Type 1 (The Reformer) playlist might include songs about striving for justice and social change, while a Type 4 (The Individualist) playlist could focus on themes of authenticity and self-expression.

3. The Journaling Journey:

  • Concept: Use journaling prompts specifically designed to explore your Enneagram type.
  • Activity: Find prompts that ask you to reflect on your core motivations, fears, and how they manifest in your daily life.
  • Example: A prompt for a Type 8 (The Challenger) might be: "Think of a situation where you felt your control being challenged. How did you react, and how could you have used your assertiveness more constructively?"

4. The Fictional Friend:

  • Concept: Imagine a fictional character who embodies your Enneagram type.
  • Activity: Develop the character's backstory, personality quirks, and goals. How do their motivations align with your own?
  • Example: If you're a Type 2 (The Helper), create a character who goes above and beyond to support their friends, even to their own detriment. Explore the challenges they face due to their desire to be needed.

5. The Habit Hunter:

  • Concept: Identify daily habits that reflect your Enneagram type's strengths and weaknesses.
  • Activity: Track your habits for a week. Are there habits that support your growth or hinder it? Brainstorm strategies to adjust your habits for positive change.
  • Example: A Type 9 (The Peacemaker) might track their tendency to avoid conflict. They could brainstorm ways to communicate their needs assertively while still maintaining harmony.

Remember:

  • Enjoy the Process: These activities are meant to be fun and insightful. Don't get bogged down in overthinking.
  • Be Honest with Yourself: Self-discovery requires introspection. Be honest with yourself about your motivations and behaviors.
  • Explore Further: These activities are a springboard for further exploration. There are numerous resources available online and in libraries to help you delve deeper into your type.

By engaging in these activities, you can gain valuable insights into your Enneagram type, paving the way for personal growth and a better understanding of yourself.
