What does it look like for type 6 to be on their path of growth? Today is all about that growth
path also known as the growth arrow and that line of integration you might have heard it any
of those three ways all of them are talking about the same thing where does the six go
when healthy that's what this video is all about today and stay tuned because after i teach about
what it looks like for a type six to be going down that path of growth i'm also gonna share
three tips that will help you grow if you're new here I'm Hillary your Certified Enneagram Life
Coach and i love to teach you guys the enneagram in the simplest and easiest way possible before
we dive into today's video if you don't mind pushing that like button that is a great way to
support my channel i'd really appreciate it okay so let's go ahead and start with that growth path
of the type six where does the six go when growing well they are moving towards the healthy side of
that type nine this means they're going to become more peaceful more self-affirming they will become
more balanced in their instincts nines they are in the gut triad or also known as that body triad
and so what that brings to the sixth it helps a six to become grounded in their bodies and become
more present in their bodies when moving towards the type 9 that type 6 is going to begin to put
priority on their own peace of mind they're going to use the peaceful and calming qualities of that
healthy side of the type 9 to help relieve um the racing part of their mind right their mind is a
lot of times racing and going so quick and so when they're going towards that healthy side of
the nine it helps to ease that and helps to calm them it really helps a type 6 to learn to relax
and how do you do this as a type 6 how do you relax i would say start by doing something
that is super enjoyable and relaxing something that you know calms you something that you know
brings you to a good place and then do this for a lot longer than you normally would do it
if you are going to like read a book or or go into nature and take a walk or anything like that go
shopping anything that brings you calm and peace and joy do it for a lot longer when you're in a
place that you need to relax when you know that you need to relax and calm down do something you
love do something you enjoy do something that brings joy and do it for a lot longer than you
normally would so that those calming moments will teach your body to relax and so that type
6 is going to have to choose to do this more give yourself permission to just be maybe it's going
out into nature like i talked about and taking that walk or taking a hike or just going out and
being outside just enjoying that piece that is surrounding you can be helpful and so that's a
little bit of what it can look like for a type 6 as they're moving to the healthy side of that type
nine on that growth path or growth arrow let's get into three growth tips that will help a six grow
the first one i would say is learn to trust yourself and the process of life sometimes
not being certain of things maybe in within yourself or within you know life or whatever that
looks like could give the six anxiety and fear and i always tell sixes the the fact is most of these
fears don't ever come true you might be currently stuck in this worst case scenario or bad situation
or what what if this happens place and you keep replaying it in your mind over and over and over
until you're exhausted and a lot of times this is for no reason at all right you're going to
relive maybe a conversation you should have had or maybe a conversation you did have over and
over and over and over but for what usually you don't even nothing happens after that like i said
you just become really tired really the thing i'd love to see as six do is honor their own strengths
remember them write them down become aware of what your actual strengths are i believe this will help
you trust yourself some of the strengths of that type 6 are you do take times to do things the
right way the correct way you take the time that's a good strength that you have you stand up for
other people really well my advice is also stand up for yourself you are courageous you are loyal
you are capable you have integrity like all those things are who you are another big one is most
sixes that i know are great in a crisis situation um maybe it's because they've thought it through
all that worst case scenario thinking i don't know but a lot of times the six instead of being like
ah they're actually gonna calm down and be able to be like the go-to person in that crisis situation
so trust that trust that you will know what to do the second thing i want you to work on is to focus
on what might go right not wrong right you have a lot of expertise in what might go wrong i'd like
to see you focus on what might go right sixes tend to be those worst case scenario thinkers
what i'm saying i'm not saying that's wrong because you know that is part of who you
are where you think things through and thoroughly that's a good thing all i'm saying is let's bring
those into balance let's bring both right it's still okay to be thinking like oh where's the exit
what do i do if this happens i but i also want you to think of um you know what it what's went right
does this does if you're on an airplane you know and you're worried about it and you're thinking
about anything that could happen also think about how many airplanes every day land safely you know
how many pilots really do know what they're doing find that comfort and focusing on what might
go right also and so bringing those both into balance i think is super healthy for a type six
okay the third growth tip that i have is practice being in the present moment look around you what's
good what can you be grateful for what can you hear taste smell what can you see focus grab on
to that present moment especially if in if you're in a time where you're feeling anxious and worried
my advice is to practice stopping and focusing on that present moment not what can happen not
what the future holds not about anything that way think about where am i today what's going on
right now be present in that moment well that's all i have today for that type six moving towards
the growth arrow of the healthy side of the type nine if you are type six i hope this helped you i
hope this gave you some good ideas on what it looks like to be healthy to be growing to be
really embracing who you are i hate it when i hear types say oh i don't want to be the type that i am
because i'm like whoa we need to stop and find all the great things about you all the giftings you
have and the reason why you are that personality and what and what you bring to the world and so
that's what i hope i did today i hope i showed you another side of being a type 6 and how amazing
they are if you are type 6 let me know in the comments below let me know did this help you
which one of these growth tips really stood out to you and which one could you really use
and if you aren't a type 6 thank you for watching this because you guys know
i think it's just as important to learn about ourselves as it is to learn about other people
i'm so proud of people that not only take the time to learn about themselves but the time
to learn about the loved ones in their life the people in the life the people that they work with
so that they can have more grace and understanding and love for each other
