Good morning daily Peppers, and a very happy Monday to you. So today I'm really excited because I get to introduce you to one of the coolest things I've created, which is my free Revel Archetype Quest quiz. I don't know about you, but I adore anything that can help me understand myself more and how I work a bit more. And I also fucking love a quiz. It is wild to me how much quizzes have come along and I know that I found things like Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies quiz really helpful to understand how I interact with internal and external expectations. I love Jonathan Field's Sparketype assessment and I think it was always on the cards for me to do my own. So I have been coaching brilliant creative women now for the past 10 years. And one of the most interesting things I found is that there are really, really clear patterns that have emerged around here.
And if we're creative and multi passionate and there tends to be four main themes and kind of obstacles and things that we have to tackle that simply come with the terrain and the path we're walking and they are managing your time and energy, especially when there's so much nuance to that. As many of us are highly sensitive empaths, we're neurodivergent and we all live in different circumstances with different responsibilities and different things that we need to manage. The second one is something we talk about a lot here on the Daily Pep, and that is self doubt in dealing with your inner dream shitter. The third thing that tends to be a mountain on our path is actually finding some clarity and some direction. And as our friend Dolly would put it, adjusting the sails as we go. It can just be really hard when there's so many things you want to do, so many things we want to start, we want to finish, and then you add the cherry on the top of the cake in that life is always lifing. Now, one of the things that I found really reassuring, and what I know a lot of my clients have found reassuring, is that if you struggle with any of these things, that's not some kind of personal failure or some kind of flaw. These things come with the territory of really wanting to make the most of your one wild and precious life, as Mary Oliver would say, and also really striving.
Now, the most exciting thing I found on this journey is that we all respond to these things in completely different ways. I found that there are four main rebel archetypes. You've got the Messy rebel, which is what I am, Joyful rebel Undercover Rebel and Gentle Rebel. And for those kind of different territories we talked about in terms of finding focus, self doubt, different things are going to work, for example, for a joyful rebel that are really going to stress a gentle rebel out. And things that make undercover rebels just thrive might be really challenging and not a good fit for a messy rebel. So I had a lot of fun putting together the Rebel Archetype Quiz to help you find out what your rebel archetype is. And I really went to town in trying to make it as helpful a tool as possible for you to understand more about how you can work with your brain rather than against your brain, your own unique superpowers, your own unique kryptonites, and understanding why some things work for you, some things don't, and why some things just make you want to rebel. So for today's daily prep, I wholeheartedly recommend you check out the Rebel Archetype Quiz.
The results come with a really cool poster that serves as a beautiful summary of some really helpful things for your particular archetype. And I also think you're really going to enjoy it. It's fun, it's quick, and I think it might just be the boost of confidence you need for this Monday morning so you can go take the quiz by going to the rebelrousers.com quiz. I've put the link in the show notes and if you take away nothing else from this episode, know that you are not alone when it comes to sometimes finding it really hard on this journey of building a life you love. It can be confronting. It means that we have to tackle a lot of our fears, but it's also not work that everybody does. But it can also be an absolute game changer. It can also be really satisfying, really rewarding, and we also get to do fun things like take quizzes and call it working on ourselves.
So have a great start to your week. I'm really excited for you to uncover your Rebel archetype and I'll see you tomorrow.
