New from the Intentional Growth and Wellness Blog

Knowing more about our personality helps us to understand why we behave in many of the ways we do. It can help us understand how we're likely to behave when we're in a the sweet spot of your doing flowing from your being, but equally (and sometimes more) important, it can also help us understand what to look for when we're overdoing all the things, stressed, exhausted and burned out. Being equipped with this knowledge can help us give ourselves permission for the self-care and grace we need during the harder seasons.

Understanding our personality can also help us identify areas where we may be approaching a growth edge. Sometimes those harder spaces call for grace, but sometimes they call for discernment in ways we can grow and blossom more into that which has already been planted within us.

I've often thought of myself as rather vanilla. Plain. I don't fit neatly within any of the social cliques. In school I found myself vacillating between the jocks, the nerds, the geeks (yes, there's a difference), the punks, the rebels, the artists, the preps, the band, and the popular kids. I found myself drawn to each of them in some way, but often on the bus ride home after a game, event or field trip, I was the one in the window seat, quietly shedding tears and not knowing why.

May your doing flow from your being,

Laura
