Creativity, Intuition, and Leonie's Riding the Wild Donkey

Jul 10, 2020

In my early days of coaching training, I took the required Keirsey Bates Temperment Testing (which you can take online here.)  Stop rolling your eyes, there is a reason I'm bringing this up!

I am a E/INFJ/P or maybe better described:
E/I split—equal parts extrovert/introvert, which means I say, "Yes!" to the party on Friday night and when Friday rolls around, I whine, "Nooooo...I want to stay home and eat pizza and ice cream and binge Netflix." And if I do go, I have a ball. Yeah, that's a fun head space to navigate!
High N—highly intuitive
High F—high "feeler", when we drove onto our ranch for the first time to look at it with our realtor, it just felt good to me.
J/P split—equal parts "neat & clean" and "wild & creative" which means I make lots and lots of lists and then completely ignore them to do whatever my intuition or creativity says to do in the moment—haaaaa!

I find I'm a bit more "P" every day. Probably a good thing, it's less nutty inside my head that way. Back in the program we would say that we were, "Embracing our inner P-ness." Say that outloud. Snort. Giggle. There is a part of me that's a 12 year old boy and that's his kind of joke ;-)

People with the Judging preference want things to be neat, orderly and established. The Perceiving preference wants things to be flexible and spontaneous. Judgers want things settled, Perceivers want thing open-ended.
 
And so, I was thrilled to read Leonie Dawson's little quickie, free, ebook titled The Cowgirl's Guide to Riding Wild Donkeys and if you are a P kind of person and like things wild and creative, this ebook is for you! Leonie says this about it:

Best.name.ever.

So, a wild donkey of an idea shows up in your paddock.

It’s your job to jump on, and ride it until it’s finished, done, complete-o.

And then your job is to release it into the wilds.

The donkey will have done what it has needed to.

And so will you.

How awesome is that? That's exactly what my inner P wants to do. Every. Single. Day! Luckily, I can for the most part, ride those wild donkey ideas and that makes me very happy. On the other days, I update my website and do paperwork—thank goodness for that little bit of J :-)

Love to all from the Mother Ranch,
