How to Fall In Love With Your Personality Type

How to fall in love with your personality type doesn’t have to be complicated, nor do you need to be a spiritual maharishi. What’s required? You’ll need to question yourself to fully realize the traditional aspects of your personality and how your spirit-fed self (Divine spark, soul, heart-center) expresses itself through your personality. When you bring together traditional and spiritual typology you create an organic whole; your true self.

Hey Myers-Briggs®, meet your soul. The spirit-fed you that answers life’s deepest questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What’s My Purpose?

 

This post explores the beautiful aspects of your personality coupled with spiritual insights. Trust me, light-bulb moments will happen.

You see, I believe that personality typing without a spiritual approach is a soulless endeavor. It’s without passion, purpose, or meaning—the ego is in control—where inherited false beliefs, doubt, unworthiness, and a lack of clarity reign free.

When you begin to remember the WHO of who you really are, you’ll fall in love with yourself. This, my friends, is the path to your true self. It’s full of love, adventurous twists and turns, and challenges that grow and fulfill you. It’s a lifestyle driven by truth, the extraordinary, and the way back to you, regardless of what life has in store.

My Mom: Nina, just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it’s not real.

What Is The Divine Spark Within?

This definition is through my lens: my knowledge, wisdom, life experiences, and my ENTP personality type. First, I’d be arrogant to believe I can define the Divine. The I AM is undefinable, ever-changing, and beyond the scope of my intelligence. This is where self-wisdom kicks in. You’ll know what you know when the time arises, or you’ll be challenged to learn what you need to know. In a word: TRUST.

My beliefs about the Divine started at a young age, from a comment my mom made. She could channel passed-on relatives. When I asked how she was doing this, she just dog-pat me on the head and say, “Nina, just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it’s not real.” My spiritual journey began at the age of ten. Let me explain this concept further.

– Where does wind come from? Where is it going? We know what wind is and its impact, and we know it’s real. But do we know where it comes from or where it’s going?

– We can’t see gravity, but we experience its effects constantly. It keeps us grounded, influences the tides, and shapes the orbits of planets and stars. We know it exists, but we can’t see it; that doesn’t mean it’s not real.

– Though we can’t directly observe consciousness, we are aware of our own subjective experiences and inner thoughts. Consciousness is a fundamental aspect of our existence, yet it remains invisible to the naked eye.

For me, the Divine spark within—your wise inner guide, soul, heart-center, holy spirit, sacred beingness—has a place in our lives. It holds the frequency of pure love. Yet, many of us are brought up in the way of the ego, living life from the outside in. We need to shift this stinking thinking and come to know ourselves by tapping into the unseen, limitless, all-knowing aspects of self that the external world can’t provide.

The Energy of Your Personality Type Impacts Your Life

What if the energy of your personality type—the eternal spirit-fed you—defines your loving persona? If you want to fall in love with yourself but aren’t there yet, things need to change. Take small steps. As I’ve said many times, you can’t go from “I hate myself” to “I’m going to manifest the love of my life.”

Energy attracts like energy. I want to help you up level your energy so you can create a wonderful life. But first, we need to do things differently to be different:

• Think Differently: society says we need to do this based on our age? Is that what you love? If not you need to rethink this.
• Feel Differently: if you stay taped into the outer world you will be anxious, angry, fearful… instead go within (three breaths in…hold for three… 5 breaths out) this will bring you to a peaceful place…
• Act Differently: from ungrateful … to grateful
• Speak Differently: your voice (is an
• instrument of the Divine)  … stop saying I hate the way my voice sounds.

3 Tips to Help You With Energy Shifting

1. Don’t get out of bed and begin to scroll. Instead, create a playlist and enjoy your favorite tunes first thing in the AM. I love Carole King’s “You’re So Beautiful,” Neil Young’s “Old Man,” Robbie Williams’ “Feel,” Annie Lennox’s “Little Bird,” Alannah Myles’ “Black Velvet”… OK, so I’m a purist. 🙂
2. Before you get out of bed, spend three minutes in gratitude thanking the Divine for all the goodies in life: a warm bed, a roof over your head, water, heat, shoes, breath, bless your body (even when you’re hurting), your car… Journal it or just speak it out loud. (Your voice carries a powerful frequency – make it count)
3. Meditate or journal with intention: Set an intention for the day. My favorite is “Divine, Show Me.” Do what works for you, just make sure you spend at least five minutes in the morning … 20 minutes is ideal.
4. Create your own cozy café (name here) i.e.; Nina’s cozy café: The Joy Lounge. … your own personal sanctuary, where you begin your day in a tranquil manner. Yep, that may mean getting up before the kids, but trust me this stillness time will impact you greatly

What Makes Self Love Grow: Seeing the Value In Your Personality Type

When you value your personality type, it helps you shift into a love energy, self-empowerment, and a respect for yourself.  Here are a few key points on this:

1. Self-awareness: Knowing your personality (traits) helps you know what you want and what you don’t want; what your cable of and what your not. Clarity ensues.
2. Complementary and Opposing Traits Strengthen the Whole: It’s in the differences that create a dynamic, and interesting persona. 
3. Personality Traits Influences: Different personality traits lead to distinct approaches in life. Recognizing these differences can help you navigate challenges more effectively and realize the authentic energy of your persona.
4. Aspects of Traits: When you see both the positive and vulnerable aspects of your personality, you’ll  realize a vulnerability is a strength waiting to happen.
5. Growth Mindset: Many of us can’t articulate our personality type. We’ve not spent time peeling back the layers of life’s: illusion, conditioning and past experiences. This is the origin point, which is meant challenge yourself to evolve your traits to their highest consciousness: this is where spiritual personality comes into play.

The Benefits of Both Traditional and Spiritual Personality Typing

I believe that traditional typology without spiritual personality typing is an incomplete truth. Here’s what I mean. Here’s an example of this idea. When you breathe you must both exhale and inhale, one relies on the other, to reap the full benefit of the breath. 

I feel the same goes for personality typing. You can’t just rely on the logical aspect of self because you are more than that. You are a spiritual being having a human experience. When you preclude one you become out of sync with yourself, stopping co-creative processes, and become limited instead of limitless. Here are a few additional benefits: 

1. Enhanced Self-understanding: Both approaches help individuals gain a deeper understanding of their traits, tendencies, and behaviors, leading to increased self-knowledge and personal growth. Be mindful that spiritual typology is more expansive, while traditional typology is foundational. 
2. Improved Relationships: Understanding personality types will enhance interpersonal interactions, fostering better communication and empathy in both personal and professional settings. Typically, Spiritual typology helps you connect on a deeper, more profound level.
3. Career Guidance: Traditional personality typing is highly focused on career decision-making by aligning individuals with suitable professions, while spirit-fed typing considers one’s spiritual calling and over-arching purpose in life. This could be a career calling or passion that leads to a livelihood.
4. Holistic Personal Development: Spirit-fed typing integrates spiritual aspects with personality assessment, offering a more comprehensive approach to enlightenment, self-awareness and personal growth.
5. Adaptability to Change: Both methods acknowledge that personalities can evolve over time, helping individuals navigate personal and professional changes more effectively. An yet, the ability to change is often a more arduous ride from a traditional POV, as we cling to old, ego ways while spiritual typology is more in flow with the inner guide within; the soul, heart-center, Divine mind, God/Goddess….

Clarity Session

You know what they say: “necessity is the mother of invention — reinvention.” After years on the psychiatrist’s couch, countless masterclasses, and working with various coaches, I still felt like something was off. I was struggling—lost without a voice, a vision, and without a clear solution in sight.

Then came my life tsunami. It was through embracing spirit-driven teachings and the psychological tools of Dr. Nix, Ph.D., that I uncovered my true calling: Spiritual Personality Typing (SPT). This emerging typology is a roadmap to your authentic self, bridging your soul (higher consciousness) with your personality (the soul in action). It’s perfect for “audacious agers” and “business outliers” alike who desire to successfully weather these transformative times.
