Do you let your heart or your head decide? Do you trust your gut or your instincts the most? These distinctions will help you understand the Enneagram better.
The heart is about our value, our worth, our importance to others and to ourselves. The head is about our thoughts, our reasons, why we do what we do, what is the smart thing to do. Some people are better or more in tune with what they value, and some are more in tune with how to strategically get a value.
The gut is about decisions, what we want, what we yearn for, what we think is best. Our instincts represent our experience, how we see things, how we feel about a situation, where we are, if we feel safe or welcome. Some are more in tune with their instincts and their sense of the situation, where some are more in tune with their gut, what they yearn for, crave, or want.
