Behind the Curtain- Is Instagram a Good Platform for the Enneagram? In the 69th episode of Enneagram & Coffee, host Sarajane Case talks about Instagram, if it is a good platform for Enneagram in line with her purpose. Listen as she also talks more about self-care. Episode Highlights: Sarajane is in her office with the doors open, and birds are singing outside. Sarajane talks about how she dealt with guilt after two weeks of being sick, thinking that she may have neglected something by not listening to her body. Her sickness made her think a lot about how people don't listen to their bodies. Neglect creates cravings, and cravings come from restrictions. People are supposed to feel good, and if they don't, then maybe something is being neglected. The fear of being undisciplined and distrust of self are causes of self-care neglect. Unlearn the idea that we should not trust our needs. Even in the workplace, have that moment to take a break. Host remembers when she was in college working on a busy coffee shop that was understaffed, where she freaked out and cried at the back as a flood of people came in while she was physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted. Sarajane talks about her day off and a day of full media silence. Sarajane kind of questions the ability to use the enneagram on Instagram since it is hard to synthesize the information into tiny boxes. Enneagram is so deep, and it is so sacred to a lot of people, and it is so personal that a lot of us had a hard time accepting any variations of it. Some people are not going farther in the enneagram, and don't even know what enneagram is, who are followers, forming their understanding off of it. Sarajane's deep purpose is to help people find their balance between self-acceptance and productivity. The enneagram enhances the balance between self-care and productivity. Sarajane is struggling with this format, as she's not confident that enneagram and coffee have its stance on Instagram. Sarajane confidently believes that the podcast has its stand. Sarajane is in a constant conflict whether she's posting these things when she is not confident. Sarajane opted to choose her purpose over followers. Sarajane focuses on the impact that she's making in the lives of her followers. Sarajane wants to make sure that that time of her followers is valued, not just in production but in intent. 3 Key Points: Don't sacrifice self-care for discipline or discipline for self-care as they can co-exist. Be reminded that followers as a human being with beating hearts and souls, giving their time and attention. Always choose your purpose over half a million of followers.
