Joy - The Core Quality of Enneagram Point 7

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita, Seth "Creek" Creekmore talk about the core quality at Enneagram Point Seven - joy - a feeling of strong wellbeing, an internally creative state that’s independent of external stimulation. They also discuss its connecting points to Point One and Point Five, which are objectively and intuition.“So this speaks to the challenge of joy and the challenge of the Seven, I think María José hit the nail right on the head here, that once we become dependent on external stimulation for our well-being, for that hit of dopamine that we’re all searching for, it becomes never enough.” -Mario [06:29]“The Sevens that I know, several of them see things that I just pass by and don’t even notice, and they just enjoy that. And it’s very simple things.” -María José [19:11]“And I think it’s not just about the internal sense of joy, but I think it’s sharing the joy. If you’ve ever had anyone be almost more excited about something that’s happening in your life than you are. It’s an act of love, honestly.” -Creek [20:16]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:45] Define joy[06:27] The challenge of the Seven[07:48] What actual joy feel like[15:04] Immature version of joy[20:45] The Dalai Lama[24:17] The core qualities for the connecting points[34:12] Distinction between pain and suffering[36:28] Practical things to implement[41:52] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism
