"I don't have the time for taking care of myself". Does this sound familiar, 9s? In reality, we all have the same amount of time as anyone else. It all comes down to giving yourself permission to treat yourself as a priority.Holly shared that the symptoms that resulted from burnout (pain/illness) actually reduced once she started using her time more intentionally. It helped transform her from someone who lived to serve other people's priorities all the time, to someone who spends time on the things that matter most to her during her week. Kimberly relates the pain that comes from not making time for her own priorities or caring for her self.So what are our options? How can we manage our time so that we prioritize ourselves?1. PLAN BY WEEKMake a routine of writing down and having a look at what's happening for the week ahead. Planning weekly instead of daily is a mindset shift to feeling like time is more abundant. Holly recommends this book that changed her view of time:https://lauravanderkam.com/books/168-hours/Example of how the math works out:168 hours in a week-remove 8 hours/night sleeping = 56 hours, and 40 hours working-72 hours are left in the week to divvy up! There are some chores in there, so even if we spend half of the 72 hours on drudgery...we still have 36 hours to spend how we see fit! That's 5 hours per day!2. TIME STUDYA periodic/one-time exercise to track how you spend your time during a week. This can help find out how you unconsciously spend time, and informs what tweaks you can make to better fit your priorities, and add in more of what lights you up. It helps to find things to remove or set boundaries.3. DELEGATE/ASK FOR HELPAs a 9, sometimes I can forget that I'm human and can ask for help. It's really necessary to relieve mental and physical stress.Hiring someone to cleanAsking family for help cooking and tidyingAsking a peer for help4. GET SUPPORT/ACCOUNTABILITYBuild a community of people that can help you achieve your goals and have a better balance in your life.therapycoachinggroup classaccountability buddy5. CELEBRATE WINSTry a "Ta-Da List"! A Ta-Da list is just a written list of what we have done well, what our wins are, and what we're proud of ourselves for. It's ok to brag about ourselves more! It brings us out of the spiral of being so worried or shameful about what we haven't done yet. Share your wins in the The Enneagram 9 Show Facebook Group!6.

Hey type 9s, we want to wish you a very happy new year! What better way to start it than by tuning into our own values and priorities? Here's a link to the Values Exercise we discussed and broke down so that you can try this at home. Let's define and redefine what values are most important to us at this time in our lives, keeping in mind that these can change. This is a helpful exercise to get clear on values before looking at our top priorities and how to schedule our lives to honor them.More about your hosts:Kimberly Eclipse is an intuitive astrologer supporting Type 9s in creative and spiritual ways, including providing astrology readings, Oracle card readings, and hosting live events.Holly Perez is an organizing and productivity coach who helps multi-passionate solopreneurs to get more organized and focus on self-care, so they can do more of what lights them up.We have come together in 2024 as two enneagram type 9s who want to explore what it means to wake up, engage, and prioritize ourselves.

Raise one hand and put your pinky, ring finger, thumb and pointer finger down! Buckle in, we're talking about ANGER today. It is the primary emotion that needs to be understood as type 9s in the "Gut" triad on the Enneagram.It has been said, by enneagram and inner work experts, that:Anger is a secondary emotion, there's always something underneath, like sadness and fear.Anger is energy in motion, helpful for boundary-setting, making changes, and advocating for ourselves.Anger is something absolutely crucial for Enneagram Type 9s to get in touch with in order to grow and be our best selves.In part 1 of this 2-part episode, Holly and Kimberly each explore our personal relationship to anger, and invite you to do the same. We hope that this brings some insights that are helpful in your inner growth. And stay tuned for part-2 in late November where we share ways that we can manage and deal with our anger in a "healthier" way.Finally, here's an Aristotle quote we can take with us into our day:"Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy."-Aristotle COME FIND US!Instagram:@the_enneagram9_show@haporganizingFacebook group:The Enneagram 9 ShowSubscribe and get a FREE downloadable self-care guide to customize for your unique self-care needs. https://www.haporganizing.com/contactSign up to be notified about the launch of NINE, a free digital magazine for Peacemakers:www.Enneagram9.com

We discuss the what, how, and why of our Habit of Attention, and what we can do about it throughout our growth journey.Fascinating, no?BTW...Did you miss Nines Rising, our virtual retreat for Type 9s?

Since I'm the Queen of Career Change (and finally landed on my true calling/ dream business), I thought I'd bring Hope Cook onto the show to help all my fellow empaths with the internal, emotional, and even spiritual process of making a big shift in your career.Hope is a Type 2 on the Enneagram (also known as "The Helper"), so she's very familiar with what it's like to pay constant attention to the needs, desires, and voices of others-- to the point where you risk losing touch with your own inner voice and wisdom. Hope is a life coach, a part-time Physician's Assistant, and the podcast host of Recharting Your Life with Hope, which helps women move from deep dissatisfaction in their career/ life to a more satisfying job or even a dream business. (In fact, I was actually a guest on her podcast twice -- discussing my prior business in episode #30 and my current astrology practice in episode #116.)In this episode we discuss:Hope's unexpected and honest reaction to her first Astrology reading everHow culture and environment encouraged Hope to disconnect from her inner voiceHer personal journey from being in denial of her true feelings and longings, to a slow-growing awareness of her discontentment, and finally, to creating a more fulfilling careerWhy following curiosity and joy thrusts you forward in your career, even if there's no clear path and no guaranteesHow to trust the process of career transformation despite a sense of urgency for changeWhat surprises Hope most after interviewing so many people about making a career changeDistinguishing between the voice of your Inner Wise Woman vs. Internal ManagerHow your soul speaks to you through your bodyTips for empaths and gentle souls who want to make a major life shiftConnect with Hope CookWebsite: https://www.coachhopecook.com/ Instagram: @coachhopecookPodcast: Recharting Your Life with HopeConnect with Kimberly EclipseWebsite: www.KimberlyEclipse.comInstagram: @kimberly.eclipse
