The Little Lies You Tell Yourself
a quick lesson from the Enneagram
I am a believer in the Enneagram. I am shy about writing about it because — whatever I say has already been said before. So why would I bother repeating something that you can google yourself? That wouldn’t be meeting your needs, would it? Maybe, maybe not. As I struggle with this question every time I sit to write . . . this morning I came across this list from Ian Cron.
And there, in the Enneagram, I had my answer.
The Little Lies we tell ourselves about being WORTHY and LOVEABLE!!!
In years past I have screamed at myself about not being loveable or worthy as a mom, spouse, daughter, sister friend because I can’t meet everyone’s needs.
After spending the year 2020 in a state of renunciation — I understand that I can’t and shouldn’t meet everyone’s needs.
I have boundaries now.
I have a set of daily intentions that keep me grounded, focused, offer clarity, and remind me to be love. Just love.
