Marking major passages of time seems to naturally cause introspection.
Another year passes – what went well, what could be improved, what is needed?
A funny thing happened as I cleaned up the remains and results of tax preparations this past week. Not only was I vacuuming up the tiny, spilled scraps of ancient tax documents, now shredded, but I was also filing random papers that had not found their proper place in my new home.
My office floor was covered with files, papers, articles, notes taken – heaven help me, I am a consummate note taker – and one last bundle was in my hand.
I was holding the results of the personality test I took a couple of years ago, and strangely enough, it was the topic going around the table the other night as we dined with friends. Everyone knew their alphabet soup of personality types the same way they knew their astrological signs!
Well, except me. It seemed like such a jumble of letters. ENFJ just doesn’t roll off my tongue.
But reviewing the 18 pages of explanations helped my understanding of what makes me roll.
Coupled with today being the 9th anniversary of foodtalk4you, I am more committed to continuing my natural bent to guide, teach, and mentor – both here, and in my books and presentations.
As we go forward with conversations about lifestyles – including exercise, food, and positive thinking – I do realize each of us is coming to these topics from diverse backgrounds, start points, and experiences.
My promise to readers and listeners is to maintain a thoughtful approach that will uplift and encourage everyone, sharing tools and skills that can be adapted to our unique situations.
Above all, we will collectively move forward with healthier thoughts, a greater appreciation for all that does our body good and sharing helpful information.
There are many avenues to taking an online Myers Briggs type test. The TypeFinder Personality Assessment test I used was free to take, but I recall a slight fee to have the results fully explained. It was totally worth it.
It’s illuminating to read about how we tick. The section, “Your Personality at Work,” discussed the work environment best suited to my personality followed by my own leadership and teamwork styles.
How cool it was to see my career and life experiences span 1/3 of the 45 good fit recommendations tailored to my personality type.
LOL! I may be onto something!
