Enneagram 4 - THE D D week 1 - James 1

 Hello Readers,

The Enneagram Link to Diagram 

I identify as a Four according to The Enneagram. One key way that I notice my Four-ness is that tend to be overly concerned with wasting time. I can get anxious or stressed if I think mine or someone else's time is not being valued. Knowing and recognizing this in myself has been very helpful so that I can communicate my need for boundaries.Yoga has also helped me as I work towards being mindful in the present moment on and off the mat.

THE DON'T DIET 

I have officially started this 7-week course with the teacher guding us to speak out loud a statement that says we will be kind and curious instead of critical. I am working on an exact way to state my goal for the course and will plan to share in a future post.

James 1

James 1:19 -- "...Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry."  -I am using this verse to remind me as I step on my mat to be present when doing Yoga and in other areas of my life.

Thanks for reading.

Stay well,

AmyBH

This week I will close with a gallery walk of descriptions of large colorful photos (dimensions roughly 3' x 4' wide) I saw in my recent stay in the hospital. These color photos were along the wall where the doors to the patient were. The nurses station and two gathering spaces were across along the other side of the hall. No people in any of the photos all are encouraging and hopeful and joyous in their own way.

Gallery of Photos 

1) Wildflowers mostly that's all it is but, if when Iook closer I noticed a rusted redwagon much like one I used as a kid. Also an old chair much like the decor of the outside wedding my daughter was in at the bride's family home in the country in Nebraska. 

2) Convertible Sportscar looking from the view from behind and between the driver and the front passenger empty seats. You can fully see the dash and windshield and some of the hood.

3) Squirrel looking straight out at us.

4) Rustic Ocean Dock fog in the air and ice in the water.

5) Colorful Hot Air Balloons -- 9 of them (one is Wonder Bread) over a wheat field.

6) Baby Elephant and Mama Elephant  mom's trunk guides the young one to the watering hole.

7) Colorful Butterfly on a curling yellow dandeloin. 

8) Single White Dandelion with half the fluff blown off.

9) Young Red Fox in the woods looking towards the us.
