As an extrovert (who me??!), I’m actually enjoying the quiet time at home.
While the outside world is in turmoil, I’m using this time as an opportunity to tackle all those projects I’ve been wanting to do: cleaning the closets; spending time with the family (when I can get them off their devices), and most of all, taking the time to work on me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m doing my fair share of binge-watching Netflix and supporting the economy by consuming gallons of wine, but this is also a chance for me to overthink everything, obsessive about life, and oh yeah, do healthy stuff like not eating an entire box of Oreos or occasionally going for a walk…baby steps!
The other day, I was chatting online with a friend about life. He told me about this amazing woman Carey Davidson who helps people discover their sense of purpose and how to get more out of relationships by finding out what their Five Archetypes are. For you corporate folks out there, it’s similar to a Myers-Briggs MBTI (I’m an ENFP on that one), but this one is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine and goes deeper into who you are emotionally.
The 5 types are:
- The Eternal Optimist – The Fire Archetype
- The Caregiver – The Earth Archetype
- The Perfectionist – The Metal Archetype
- The Philosopher – The Water Archetype
- The Go-getter – The Wood Archetype
Take the quiz and share your results with me! Here are my results:
- FIRE: 76.5%
- EARTH: 84.6%
- METAL: 39.6%
- WATER: 59.4%
- WOOD: 59.4%
Once you take the quiz, you can learn all about each archetype in detail. Your highest score is your “primary” archetype. When you get your results you can click to Carey’s website for a deeper dive into what that means. All the scores have intersecting relationships and… hell, I don’t know. Ask her.
If you really want to understand it better, you can set up an online consultation with Carey. I decided to do a consultation. What the hell, I got the time, and I really need to figure out my life (damn you 50!).
Did you ever meet someone and you know you could be BFFs with them immediately? Well, Carey is one of those people, or maybe it’s just because we are both Earth/Fire people? Although since I’m low on ‘metal’ she said I should do Tai Chi. Ha ha, no…but I will have some chai tea!
Carey is also offering an exclusive $50 consultation (usually $375. It says $125 on her site, but I got you guys a super deal), oh, and be sure to ask her to read you “energy”… It’s freak real!
