Frequently Asked Questions About Living Your ING energy
How do I know if I’m actually living my ING energy or just performing?
Living your ING energy creates distinct patterns you can recognize. When you’re truly living your ING energy, interactions energize you instead of draining you. People seek you out rather than avoid you. You pause before reacting and ask yourself helpful questions like “Do they want my help?” When you’re performing instead of living your ING energy, everything exhausts you even when you’re good at it. You shift personalities depending on who you’re with. Your successes feel hollow. The transformation from knowing to living your ING energy happens when you start catching yourself in real time and choosing to respond from your authentic design.
What if I know my type, but I’m not living my ING energy yet?
Knowing your ING type is just the first step. Living your ING energy requires developing the Three M’s: Measure (how much of this energy you actually have), Mastery (how effectively you use it with others), and Maturity (why you’re using it). Most people struggle with living their ING energy because they skip the hard work of developing mastery and maturity. They understand their type intellectually but haven’t practiced living their ING energy skillfully in relationships. The discover ING energy Course walks you through this development process with assessments, workbooks, and training across all seven types so you can move from knowing to living your ING energy.
How long does it take to start living your ING energy authentically?
Some shifts happen immediately once you start living your ING energy intentionally. You start recognizing patterns you’ve had your whole life. But becoming excellent at living your ING energy takes practice. Most people notice significant changes in 3-6 months of intentionally living their ING energy. You’ll catch yourself reverting to old patterns sometimes. That’s normal. Growth in living your ING energy isn’t a straight line from insecurity to confidence. The key is consistent awareness and willingness to adjust your approach based on feedback from others as you practice living your ING energy daily.
Can my ING type change over time?
Your core ING type never changes. It’s constant throughout your life, like being right-handed or left-handed. What changes as you grow in living your ING energy is your Measure (how much of each type you express), Mastery (how skillfully you use it), and Maturity (why you’re using it). You have access to all seven ING types, just in different amounts. As you develop and grow in living your ING energy, you might become more skilled at using your secondary types. But your dominant ING energy remains your strongest and most natural way of serving others.
What’s the difference between ING energy and other personality assessments?
Most personality assessments tell you who you are with static labels. Living your ING energy is different because it shows you your identity in motion AND your purpose at the same time. Research on personality frameworks like the Big Five shows they describe traits, but they don’t connect identity to purpose. The ING energy framework is unique because it reveals that your core identity IS your purpose. Living your ING energy means understanding that the way you’re wired to move through the world is exactly how you’re meant to serve others. Your quirks aren’t just personality traits, they’re your superpowers for helping specific people in your spheres of influence.
Do I need to take the course or can I just read the book?
The book (7 ING energy Types) gives you the complete framework and helps you understand your primary type deeply. It’s perfect if you want to identify your ING energy and see yourself clearly for the first time. The course goes much deeper and is designed specifically for living your ING energy with your complete ING energy profile across all seven types. You get Measure, Mastery, and Maturity scores, 9 modules of training focused on living your ING energy, workbooks with exercises, and practical tools for living your ING energy in relationships, work, and community. Think of the book as understanding your design. The course is learning to actually live your ING energy skillfully every day.
What if people don’t understand me when I start living my ING energy?
Not everyone will understand when you start living your ING energy authentically, and that’s okay. Being misunderstood by some people doesn’t make you wrong. It often means you’re offering something they can’t recognize yet or something that challenges them to grow. Your mandate in living your ING energy is to show up authentically for the people in your spheres of influence who need what only you can offer. Some relationships will deepen as you commit to living your ING energy. Others will shift. Focus on the people who celebrate you living your ING energy authentically, not just tolerate it. Your freedom in living your ING energy gives others permission to be real too.
How do I use my ING energy without overwhelming others?
Living your ING energy effectively requires Mastery. You need feedback from people you trust about how your actions make them feel. Are you helping or overwhelming? Clear or confusing? The gap between your intention and your impact shows you where to grow in living your ING energy skillfully. Learn to ask before offering your ING energy: “Do you want my perspective on this?” Set boundaries so living your ING energy doesn’t deplete you. Remember that just because you can help doesn’t mean others are ready to receive it. Growth in living your ING energy happens when you balance your natural tendencies with wisdom about timing and readiness.
