045: An Enneagram 7 Lets Go of His Expectations, feat. Luke Norsworthy
Sevens are the joy bombs of the Enneagram. The energy they give off is energetic, fun-loving and naturally cheerful. They are optimistic by nature and seize every moment of life. They live for the next adventure and are experts at reframing a negative situation to find the silver lining.
But all their “living for tomorrow” is really to avoid pain and introspection. Sevens may have an underlying feeling that if they allow themselves to feel an emotion they’ll get stuck in that emotion never come out. They keep their minds busy and occupied with projects and ideas for the future in an unconscious attempt to evade having negative emotional or psychological feelings.
Listen in as we jump into an energetic conversation with Enneagram Seven, Luke Norsworthy, and find out why it’s important for Sevens to enjoy life with a small spoon.

“I think I have a lot of energy, and if I don’t invest it into something appropriate, whether that’s work projects or being a good parent or exercise, that same energy can be the end of me if it’s not channeled into something that’s for my betterment.”
