I’m having trouble figuring out which element I am.
I’m thinking I lean towards wood, but i’m confused and would like a second opinion…
Wood:
I would say I am creative to my core, but i dont pursue it nearly as much as i’d like to, and often feel not creative enough. I do enjoy being active and weight lifting to generally take care of my body, but I wouldn’t consider myself “athletic.” I also wouldn’t consider myself goal-oriented as it’s hard for me to trust myself, but all of these contradicting thoughts could just be my own insecurities keeping me from being who I am deep down.
Fire:
I’m not super confident on what it means by “relationship centred.” I value my relationships, but especially my romantic relationship. This one seems vague.
Earth:
I wouldn’t say I put on weight easily. I’m not super thin but i’m not overweight either. I’d say im an average weight and it’s been fairly consistent throughout my life with some fluctuations. I’d say im nuturing to what i have the energy for. For example, i’m not big on kids and have never felt a very strong desire to be a mother, but if i had to be nurturing to a child, i easily could be. It’s easiest to be to be very nurturing towards animals, my romantic relationship, and close friends.
Metal:
I wouldn’t say I have broad shoulders but I also don’t have slim shoulders either… Not sure what angular features mean. I do like my space neat and tidy but i’m certainly not anal about it and have lot’s of lazy days. Having a tidy space makes me feel more comfortable in my space.
Water:
I definitely have a metaphysical spiritual side, but it’s not hugely a part of my personality, although i do desire to explore more and make it a big part of my life one day.
I feel very average in basically all of the elements. Wood feels the most like me, but everything, including wood, is like “yeah i see that in myself but not very strongly????” I’m confused and would love a second opinion based off of everything I have said here.
