Your Personality Type is a Grounding Tool in Times of Swirling Changes and Chaos
Many of us face detours in life without the tools to navigate new roads. What if your personality type could help keep you grounded to lessen the swirling changes and chaos surrounding you?
What if your personality could provide benchmarks and specific signs signaling that you’re heading down the right road in life?
If you’re facing times of significant change, how can your personality type help you see changes in a positive light?
If persistent change is part of the foreseeable future, how do you become one with change while finding meaning and purpose in life?
We’ll look at these questions and others. Please know I don’t have all the answers because, my dear ones, the answers are found within. I’m here to shine a light on what you already know.
All that you touch, influences you, and all that you influence affects you – ahh a meaningful life in action. Nina Zapala, Founder Spiritual Personality Typing™️
Change What
How many times have you heard, “you need to change.” Do you find this annoying in times of great despair, challenge, and life disruptions? Are you thinking, “If I knew what I needed to change, do you think I’d be in this mess?”
Here’s what I’ve learned going through my 7-year life tsunami, a time of great challenge, change, and struggle. I realized change was about shedding old values, beliefs, and many external expectations inherited from family, governments, education, and religious institutions. Questioning inherited thoughts that worked in the past but aren’t working for me now. In fact, they were keeping me stuck. These old narratives were dead weight, holding me back from finding my truth, my best self.
My 7-year life tsunami taught me that brokenness and poor mental health eventually knocks at your door if you refuse to look at your shadow behaviors – the emotions, actions, and beliefs that are no longer necessary.
I now know that when life is unsettling, transformation, evolution, and great spiritual awakenings are around the corner. Today, I see change as a prescription for new perspectives, reseeing your future, relationships, career, and maybe even a new life path. Now that’s exciting. The courage, clarity, and confidence of this new understanding are life-changing.
Seeing Change From a Place of Shedding Old Beliefs
Note: when I use the word change, I’m not talking about changing my personality type because it is the actual calm in the storm, never changing, always realizing. When I speak of change, I’m talking about letting go of someone else’s beliefs, values, and expectations –– which weren’t mine, to begin with, so I’ve changed what I believe about myself, not my persona. Make sense?
Journal Prompts to Help Look at Change in a Positive Light
- Are you afraid of change?
- Do you see change as inevitable?
- How do you perceive death?
These aren’t easy questions, but they’re essential to help you rethink change in a meaningful light. You may want to grab a journal, a pad, paper, or whatever you use to take notes. It’s important. Using pencil and paper invites your nonphysical, spiritual energy into the exercise.

My Thoughts On the Question of Change
Are you afraid of change?
Are you afraid of change, or do you see change as a whisper from Divine Intelligence urging you to relook at habits, beliefs, values, and unbalances in your personality type? When you see change evolution – a spiritual awakening to a better life, the fear of change leaves you.
Does this help you see change in a new way?
Do You See Change as Inevitable?
I believe we all see change as inevitable. Just look at Mother Nature. As the days go by, one season flows into another, each season different from the last, but nature makes it appear effortless. What if we could follow the flow of Mother Nature and go with change instead of fighting it?
Here’s the rub. We’ve been programmed by society, culture, religion, and higher education systems. They propose structure and routine and teach change as something to avoid – to seek security. We eventually figure out that nothing in life is secure. This idea is a false promise, a lie we’ve been fed to keep us stuck in the “systems” of others. It’s time to break away from these systems and create communities that embrace change.
It’s like the caterpillar. It wraps itself in a cocoon, emerging as a beautiful butterfly. We don’t see the total breaking apart of a fuzzy caterpillar into a goo-like substance that takes the shape of a butterfly. We need to do the same, breaking away from controlling systems to be free, to be who we really are.
Do you see inevitable change can be a beautiful thing, a freedom to be YOU?
How do you perceive death?
A difficult question for many, yet, we are taught, primarily by religious institutions, that we are no more when we transition. I don’t believe this. I think we are spiritual beings on a human journey, and our eternal selves, when met by death, transition to the spiritual realm from whence we came.
My opinion. Take what you need and leave the rest.
What if, in another’s passing, we begin to build a new, nonphysical relationship with those who’ve transitioned? When I was ten, my mother taught me, “Just because you can’t see something (someone) doesn’t mean they’re not real?”
Wise words indeed, and a new thought perspective for sure!
Answering these questions as journal prompts is an excellent start to reseeing change in a positive new light.
So How Can You be Strong When Change Swirls Around You?
One of the best ways to stay strong when change swirls around you is to know your personality type intimately. Your personality type is a benchmark. It’s a stronghold in a sea of change. It will always indicate when a trait is out of alignment; triggers related to your personality type tell you so.
Please know that I’m not speaking of understanding your linear functional stack, the order in which you use your personality traits. What do I mean by this? Divine Intelligence gifted you with a personality type to be used as a whole, not as disparate pieces that we try to make whole.
Your personality type is one of the most amazing psychological tools. It’s free, and all you have to do is have the desire to know yourself and claim it as the valuable tool it was intended to be! If you don’t understand this, here’s how it works in a nutshell. You choose your personality type to support your sacred purpose. It’s how your true Self, soul, higher self, Goddess within…expresses itself on the physical plane.
When you don’t understand your personality type or if it’s unhealthy, your soul can express itself through your persona. Love and fear are like oil and water; they don’t mix. When you forgo the nonphysical aspects of who you are, it increases anxiety, and the changing world around you is exacerbated even more.

Stepping Into Positive Change
ItIt’sot easy to overcome decades of programming. Our false belief systems have trained us to compete, fight, persist, separate from our truth, change who we really are, and belong to systems that don’t honor our true Selves. Today, many of us are awakening to our truth, and the Great Resignation is a prominent sign of people looking for their truth.
Take the first steps to see change in a more positive light:
- Commit to understanding yourself; this is an essential step. It means not blaming another or being a victim of your circumstances. Engage in daily spiritual practices; meditation, journaling, spiritual reading…. Click here to learn meditation for beginners.
