Deja Vu Love: Why We Repeat Relationship Patterns and How to Change

Love, while enchanting, can often feel like running in circles. Have you ever found yourself drawn to the same kind of partner time and time again? With a sense of déjà vu as you repeatedly find yourself with eerily similar partners. Why is this?

Once upon a time, I can confess I had a "type." I was irresistibly drawn to people's pain. It wasn’t a drive to 'fix' them or some dark intrigue, but rather, seeing a mirror image of my own internal turmoil. I could see it in their eyes, it was evident in their smile, it peeked through in their laugh, and it was obvious we wore the same burdensome mask to hide our scars. I naively believed building a bond based on shared trauma would help us understood each-others better and that we would guide each other on a road to healing. Instead, our pain inflicted more wounds on each other, that reinforced our negative beliefs and justified our unhealthy behaviors.

At the time it made sense, though looking back the flaw in my logic seems clear: Like the blind leading the blind, how can those equally lost, lead one another to light? This personal revelation reflects a challenge many people face in relationships. Chasing after partners based on idealized fantasies rather than real-world truths. It's easy to say, "I have a type," confidently stating our preferences, but do we ever pause to ask why? Are we genuinely yearning for a compatible soul, or are we simply seeking the traits of a person who idealizes a fantasy?

We must find the courage to question our desires. Only then can we uncover whether we're pursuing shallow ideas, or true compatibility and genuine connection. Consider someone who's always wanted a stable, money-wise family because they didn't have that growing up. They might be drawn to a potential partner’s flashy lifestyle. But does a flashy exterior equate to genuine financial security? How can they spot traits of financial stability if they've never known what it looks like? This logic can be applied to many different scenarios.

The cure to break free from that same old love loop comes down to being brave enough to dig into our wants. Learn what the healthy version of our desires looks like, so we don’t get lured by cheap imitations of it. Failure to do this keeps us entangled in familiar, yet potentially toxic patterns. The path to healthy, sincere, and nurturing relationships begins when we discern the real needs beneath our desires.

If you’re stuck in a loop of similar romantic choices, remember acknowledging the pattern is the first step. Dive deep within, challenge your reasoning, and aim for authentic connections. Together, we can break the cycle of déjà vu love.

Understanding Your “Player Type” to Improve Performance

Are you a cautious planner or an instinctive streak chaser? Understanding your player type helps refine your strategy.

The Analyzer: waits for strong patterns before acting

#91 #KnowYourType #KnowYourStrengths I was asked today whether I learn better by studying first and then applying what I have learned or whether I prefer to learn as I go. Without a doubt I prefer to learn while doing. I get bored of just reading something to try to learn it. I prefer to perform the action. That is how I have learned many things in technology. For example, I bought an Amazon Echo and became curious to see how Alexa skills are developed. I started searching and that same day, I started developing the Alexa skill. It was not perfect, but it worked. I ran into problems and continued searching how to fix them. I kept doing it until I published the skill. There are more things that I can do to improve the skill. I just need to do them. What’s my point? It’s important for you to know what you are good at. Know the type of person that you are. Knowing this will help you move forward in whatever you want to accomplish. #bepositive #traindaily #eatwell #livewell Pic 1: I don’t think there is such a thing as eating too many #plantbased #burritos, is there? Pic 2: After my run to #BJJ practice. Missing pic: Forgot to take a pic of my wife’s rice and #vegan soup dinner. Shame on me. 20180119

It seems like with all the things that have been going on the last six or so months, people are really looking for answers. And maybe more specifically, looking to the Enneagram for answers. •• Obviously, I think this is super great, but over these last few months I’ve had a ridiculously high number of people come to me being mistyped. Most have done limited reading or just taken a test or two (and y’all know how I feel about tests), but some have researched extensively in a few short months and still ended up in the wrong place. •• Why is this happening? BECAUSE SHIT IS SO WILD RIGHT NOW. Our personalities are dynamic and they shift and change depending on our circumstances, but often we don’t pick up on it. In our own self-image we see ourselves as much more consistent than we really are, so when life circumstances change drastically, so do we, but we assume we’ve always done it this way. •• This is why typing interviews are so important. Exploring the Enneagram with a trained professional can help you see how you’ve shifted and changed over time, and how your core motivation has stayed the same. •• I don’t think I have ever felt so sure that typing interviews are the way to go until 2020 happened. My schedule is open starting next week if you’re looking to dive deeper into the wisdom and insight the Enneagram offers. Dm me to schedule your typing interview today! • • • #enneagram #enneagram1 #enneagram2 #enneagram3 #enneagram4 #enneagram5 #enneagram6 #enneagram7 #enneagram8 #enneagram9 #millenneagram #spiritualgrowth #personalgrowth #enneagramcoach #queerenneagram #personalitytypes #enneagramtypes #spiritualwork #innerwork #transformation #contemplative #contemplativepractice #practice #yoga #meditation #typinginterview #knowyourtype (at Austin Bouldering Project) https://www.instagram.com/p/CErbsb2FQZm/?igshid=1oc8wduh0d5p1
