Stillness has a way of making me feel anxious, like I need to be doing something or I need to create something. Apparently, this is a characteristic of being an Enneagram 7, which is what I am, and is something that my therapist has actively been working on with me without knowing I'm a 7 (though, I don't imagine it would surprise him).
Basically, stillness confronts me with feelings I've been avoiding by keeping busy, having fun, and doing things that make me happy -- but, those less fun feelings are really important, which I "know" because I tell people that ALL THE TIME. Ugh...
But, part of me is aware that by avoiding stillness, which I acknowledge isn't healthy, also makes me very productive. 😜
Is it 7 of me to say, there's a fine line between mental health and changing the world... ?
