This episode is one of Lauren’s favorite topics: Personality Profiling and how it relates to Self-Care.

How you live and feel is often shaped by your personality and values in life. Understanding yourself opens the door to know what motivates you and helps you live a satisfying life, both internally and externally. Also, knowing yourself makes decisions and what actions to take much easier. 

Lauren discusses several options for learning your personality profile, including: 

• Myers-Briggs
• Human Design 
• Enneagram
• Ayervedic Dosha

To show how this information can be helpful, Lauren discusses some of her own personality profiles. She has discovered she feels most aligned when helping others. Knowing her profile has also helped her design a stress-management routine. 

Lauren discusses the steps to self-discovery, which include: 

STEP 1: Find your personality type.
STEP 2: Use that information to create routines and habits.
STEP 3: Schedule regular time for reflection. 

We have to know who we are to be able to make decisions that feel good, are right for us personally, and to find true happiness. 

Lauren answers this week’s listener question during the episode:
How do I work with educators to recognize behaviors as a symptom of a need?

Try-at-home tip:  Spend time in natural light.
