I\u2019ve been gradually bringing more and more awareness to what I do habitually out of ego and digging in to WHY.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I just wanted to give an example of what this can look like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently I came to the realisation that I\u2019ve been carrying a self imposed need to be upbeat, happy\/ok and positive for most of my life. (As and enneagram 7 this is very typical). I\u2019ve realised that the reason I need alone time so much is because it gives me time to just be how I actually inside instead of being whoever the people around me are used to seeing\u2026 the upbeat, energetic, happy person. Who\u2019s fault is it that everyone expects this of me? It\u2019s mine! I\u2019ve set this as the default for myself and others have learnt to identify happy positive and upbeat with who I am. Naturally when I\u2019m not, then people notice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have come to the conclusion that the reason I fell in to a really deep depression when I left home and went to university was partially this. I was in a situation where I could be whatever I actually felt. People didn\u2019t know me as anything else. So they got to know helen as someone who wasn\u2019t always ok\u2026 in fact who had a lot of pain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course I didn\u2019t know that then, and when i came back from university It was back to my family and friends and my old persona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My twenties were punctuated with periods of me becoming down\/depressed and I can see now that the effort involved in maintaining this positive optimistic front is actually exhausting and when we become exhausted we end up having to recuperate and relax in order to recharge. I think my depressive episodes are just that. Times when I physically have to slow down. I can emotionally reset and recharge so I\u2019m ready to go again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I noticed a few years back that I tend to crash in February and August each year for no real obvious reason until now. It seems I can maintain my egoic self for 5 months at a time then I need a reset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is February and I am in need of a recharge\/reset. So I\u2019m allowing myself to not be fine for a week or two. Which means I\u2019m just going to spend more down time where my energy isn\u2019t needed to be projected outward. This has to be something that I allow for more often than once every 5 months. I am going to start talking more about this with friends and family so they understand when I\u2019m not bubbly it doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not ok, it just means I have finite energy that I need to ration it out better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doing the work is painful but it really is worth it. If going forward I have a much more healthy energy balance then I am going to benefit from the mental health improvements. We all have to look in to our shadow if we want to minimise it\u2019s effect on us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone looking to do some more inner work I am a certified enneagram coach<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When people say they are \u201cdoing the work\u201d what does that mean.
