Jump to the challenge for your type and subtype
|
||||||||||
| Type 1 | Find YOUR Subtype & try this: | |||||||||
| SP | Pick something specific that you are VERY sure should be perfect. Journal on what perfect would look like. What are you missing out on? How would you change your “perfect” definition to INCLUDE what you are missing? What must change in order to include that? | |||||||||
| SO | Become truly curious about why someone would believe or do something completely opposite of what you think they should. Ask them (lovingly) and stay curious through the entire discussion. What type might they be and how does that explain the difference? | |||||||||
| SX | Practice muzzling the need to give your opinion on anything for a week. Catch yourself and silently tell yourself “Not my circus, not my monkeys” (Hint- they don’t want your opinion, they want your approval.) | |||||||||
| Pick a song as your theme song and play it inside your head whenever you find yourself being judgemental or perfectionistic. Let it help you soften the judgement to ” merely observing with no judgement” (I’d love to hear what you picked as a theme song! Cheryl) | ||||||||||
| Type 2 | Find YOUR Subtype & try this: | |||||||||
| SP | PRACTICE you mantra in real life! Ask for what you need and ask again. Catch yourself waiting for someone to “notice” your needs and then make yourself ask for it. | |||||||||
| SO | For a week- everytime you notice yourself wanting to “give” (time, $, energy, stuff) to someone…PAUSE and ask yourself “What am I hoping the outcome of this will be? That they will love me more? Am I willing to buy love? Is it working? | |||||||||
| SX | This week, if you have a down day – tell a friend how you are really feeling. Try NOT smiling if you are feeling down or nervous or uncomfortable. Notice the dissonance of smiling when you are not feeling joy or happiness. Now do something that feeds your soul and see how THAT smile feels | |||||||||
| Pick a song as your theme song and play it inside your head whenever you find yourself about to do something for someone that they should be doing for themselves. Let this remind you that you are loved even when you are not DOING. (I’d love to hear what you picked as a theme song! Cheryl) | ||||||||||
| Type 3 | Find YOUR Subtype & try this: | |||||||||
| SP | Remember something that you failed at (or didn’t try because you feared failing) and call a vivid image of that failure to mind. Now- let yourself feel the pain of that failure and say to yourself “Everyone fails. It is human. I am human. I don’t have to be accomplished to be of value.” | |||||||||
| SO | Set time aside each day (maybe shorten your make-up routine if you lack time) to do a 5 minute meditation. Be kind to yourself and gently bring yourself back to center. (Use a meditation app on your phone). | |||||||||
| SX | Make a list of how YOU see yourself…no masks…what are you like REALLY? Now make a list of how you think others see you. Are they different? How? Why? (Hint: They are absolutely different!!) | |||||||||
| Pick a song as your theme song and play it inside your head whenever you find yourself needing to be viewed as awesome. Let this remind you that you are awesome whether you accomplish anything or not. (I’d love to hear what you picked as a theme song! Cheryl) | ||||||||||
| Type 4 | Find YOUR Subtype & try this: | |||||||||
| SP | Use your tenacity to work a seriously difficult program like ACA. Buy the Loving Parent Guidebook to lean to become your own loving parent. Your Spirituality will explode doing this!! | |||||||||
| SO | Do something kind and generous for someone else every day this week. Think of what they must like, feel, want and give it to them. Truly get outside of yourself…with no quid pro quo. | |||||||||
| SX | When you see yourself going to “Superior” (might look like sour grapes) pause and take the time to trace it back to the original feeling. And say “It is human to feel that and I am human.” | |||||||||
| Pick a song as your theme song and play it inside your head whenever you find yourself going to melancholy. DO NOT pick a melancholy song…pick one that INCREASES upbeat energy and speaks to you. (I’d love to hear what you picked as a theme song! Cheryl) | ||||||||||
| Type 5 | Find YOUR Subtype & try this: | |||||||||
| SP | Research the saying “Energy begets energy” and say that as a mantra thruoughout the week. See if you can begin to soften the belief that energy is finite. | |||||||||
| SO | Bring hidden anxiety to the forefront and change the facet of your HP that you have been focusing on. Can you make your HP Bigger, stronger, more interested in you? | |||||||||
| SX | The conflicting 1:1 “pushing into the world” energy fights with your Type’s need to withdraw. So go to that gathering you have been considering and plop yourself in the MIDDLE (no staying on the edge of the room) and start a conversation with someone. | |||||||||
| Pick a song as your theme song and play it inside your head whenever you find yourself believing you have to conserve your energy. Let it remind you that energy begets energy! (I’d love to hear what you picked as a theme song! Cheryl) | ||||||||||
| Type 6 | Find YOUR Subtype & try this: | |||||||||
| SP | When others make a gratitude you list you need to make a “Best Scenario” list. If you need to make a “Worst Case” list first, do it. Then follow it with a “Best Case” list. Read the best case one each day out loud. (Hint: Neither is going to happen the way you expect) | |||||||||
| SO | You are wired to only support TRUSTED authority. Your spiritual path must include questioning & doubt so you can learn that your HP is trustworty. Be willing to change your mind about your HP then work to focus on an HP who holds you in the palm of his hand (like the bunny picture). As you fall asleep- BE that Bunny. | |||||||||
| SX | This week when you get angry- pause and ask yourself “What am I afraid of” and stay with that until you have an answer. | |||||||||
| Pick a song as your theme song and play it inside your head whenever you find yourself going to “morbid reflection”. Let it remind you that Life is an Adventure. (I’d love to hear what you picked as a theme song! Cheryl) | ||||||||||
| Type 7 | Find YOUR Subtype & try this: | |||||||||
| SP | If you find yourself going to cynical or sarcastic…read Allen Berger’s Emotional Sobriety to help you realize that Reality applies to you as well….and that is ok. | |||||||||
| SO | Work on creating a DAILY meditation practice (even if ver short) Remember your mantra “Staying Present is My Holy Work” | |||||||||
| SX | When you find yourself bored with a conversation say (inside your head) “I wonder what this guy is going to say next” and stay with the conversation (rather than jumping to another topic). That is a good (But boring- sorry!) way to stay present. Stay curious. | |||||||||
| Pick a song as your theme song and play it inside your head whenever you find yourself uncomortable staying present. Let it remind you that life is only lived in the present. (I’d love to hear what you picked as a theme song! Cheryl) | ||||||||||
| Type 8 | Find YOUR Subtype & try this: | |||||||||
| SP | Practice your mantra throughout each day and work to truly believe “In my vulnerability lies my strength”. Begin to identify other emotions (besides anger) as you get a hint of them. | |||||||||
| SO | Remember Fast decisions are not always Great decisions. When working in a group comeup with an internal reminder like “They have a Mother and I am not it.” | |||||||||
| SX | Notice (without judgement) when you PUSH into the world. (This will happen almost constantly as you are wired this way.) Journal on what that energy has gained you and what it has cost you….and could the gain/cost ratio improve with a little finesse? | |||||||||
| Pick a song as your theme song and play it inside your head whenever you find yourself getting sucked into leading when you prefer not to lead. Let it remind you that it’s ok to lean back. (I’d love to hear what you picked as a theme song! Cheryl) | ||||||||||
| Type 9 | Find YOUR Subtype & try this: | |||||||||
| SP | When you feel like zoning out….call someone who loves you. Or do something loving for yourself. Do something that makes you FEEL loved. Journal on does that delay the need to zone out? | |||||||||
| SO | Set limits on your work and stick to them. Allow yourself to feel sad for a few minutes before checking out. | |||||||||
| SX | Make a list of things that YOU like. Even better- make a list of things you like that your significant other doesn’t like. What did this exercise teach you? | |||||||||
| Pick a song as your theme song and play it inside your head whenever you want to check out. Pick one that is high energy and makes you want to MOVE! (I’d love to hear what you picked as a theme song! Cheryl) | ||||||||||
