They start with Enneagram Type One, “Striving to Feel Perfect,” by discussing what it means in theory and through María José’s personal experience.“One of the things that I’m really proud of is how you can use it in a way that perfectionism doesn’t capture you, but you decide what perfection is.” -María José [05:31]“It’s fueling your desire for the most ideal situation to occur. I can definitely resonate with that and find myself being paralyzed as well in certain situations.” -Creek [10:09]“We have to be aware of the complexity of the connecting points to really understand the types, and you can’t understand a One if you don’t understand their relationship to the strategy of Point Seven.” -Mario [32:19]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[01:28] How biases slip into the types and biases[05:01] What it feels like when the strategy is used really well[06:50] Looking for ways to make things better[07:49] Being a perfectionist vs striving to feel perfect[13:47] What it means to striving to feel perfect[19:13] How self-critical Ones are[22:39] The connecting points[33:31] How striving to feel unique makes you a better person[38:37] Another way this strategy manifest[40:27] What the hosts appreciate about Ones[43:27] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on Demand Mario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @creekmoremusicPod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism
