How to avoid burnout for ennea 4, the Intense Creative.

What drives ennea 4. the Intense Creative:

  • It is essential that I am unique and stand out from the crowd otherwise I feel lost.
  • My feelings are who I am.


How this driver can trigger burnout:

  • You constantly compare yourself to others. Youre looking to be different and yet the same.
  • You feel that you are never quite who you are destined to be.
  • You feel as if what you need is always just out of reach.
  • You feel that others know and have stuff you don't. There is something missing in you.
  • Your feelings can be overwhelming and it's difficult to deal with them.


What is the switch needed to connect to my true source of energy:

  • Remember that you are not alone in feeling melancholy.
  • Acknowledge your positive qualities and successes as well.
  • Balance your feelings with more objectivity, discipline and structure.
  • Enjoy the shared creative process of working with others.
  • Connect to meaning and purpose.
  • Understand that you are as special as everyone else. And that is perfection.
