A Book I’m Re-reading – The Enneagram of Discernment

I initially bought this book a little over a year ago and loved it. I am re-reading parts of it now and find it really helpful. If you like having a clearer view of yourself, this is a great book to check out. If you want to go beyond a basic understanding of the Enneagram, this is a great next step.

From Amazon:

How does your personality type help and hinder your ability to make wise decisions?

We are too often rich in information and poor in wisdom. And when we encounter life’s decisions, big and small, we engage the information available through the lens of our personality.

The Enneagram of Discernment: The Way of Vocation, Wisdom, and Practice breaks new ground in the enneagram field, introducing Dr. Drew Moser’s innovative approach to exploring the enneagram to discover calling, cultivate wisdom, and develop habits that help you make wise decisions, whether they be important or mundane. This is not your ordinary enneagram book.

Weaving theology, spirituality, neuroscience, and psychology, Dr. Moser introduces you to The Way of Discernment: a journey of nine key questions each of us must consider when faced with a decision. Each of these nine questions are grouped into three triads: The Vocation Triad, The Wisdom Triad, and The Practice Triad.

This is an enneagram resource for anyone looking for help in making better decisions. Whether you’re new to the enneagram, or have been working with the enneagram for many years, The Enneagram of Discernment is an essential resource.

A Surprising Find – RaceTrac Empandas

RaceTrac is a gas station chain that is pretty nice. They seem to compete with QT (Quick Trip) for food, cleanliness, etc. I’ve noticed that RaceTrac sells empanadas on their hot food line. I broke down and tried them last week and was pleasantly surprised! I lived to tell about it! While they may not have a tasty salsa to dip them in, they were did the trick for satisfying my hunger on the go.

A TV Show We’re Watching – To Catch a Smuggler

To Catch a Smuggler is a TV series that has been on since 2012. Cameras follow customs agents as they screen travelers. It’s amazing to see how creative people are when they are trying to smuggle drugs.

A Quote from I’m Thinking About

The Enneagram does not put you in a box. It shows you the box you’re already in and how to get out of it.” — Ian Cron

An Enlighting Enneagram Book – The Enneagram of Discernment

I first heard about the Enneagram at a dinner in 2016. I’ve since enjoyed learning more about it. 

Everybody leads somebody — even if that somebody is just yourself. I don’t know about you, but leading myself is probably the hardest thing I do. The Enneagram of Discernment is helping me along the path to flourishing.

On-The-Go Protein – Quest Salted Caramel Protein Shake

I drink one protein shake a day. I am experimenting with drinking it first thing in the morning. Starting my day with protein helps me feel fuller and more energetic throughout the day. It also helps me hit my protein macro goals each day. This ready to drink protein shake is convenient to grab and go.

Make Great Pizzas – Aluminum Pizza Screen

I make at least one pizza a week at home. I used to get frustrated, trying to fit it on a cookie sheet, etc. I finally purchased a few pizza screens. These are very similar to what we used when I worked at Dominos in High School. They make baking a pizza a cinch.

A Quote from I’m Thinking About

Anger. Shame. Fear. Their ability to thwart the gift and pracice of discernment is pervasive and persistent. But this isn’t the end of the story. The more familiar we becom ewith our obstacles, the less moinously they loom over us … We must journey through. When we do, our experiences with anger, shame and fear can transform from impediments to invitations.” ― Dr. Drew Moser
