Summary
How do you manage the weight of what’s going on in the world these days? Each of us handle stress differently, but when we take the time to recognize our triggers and automatic reactions, we’re able to stop, pivot and intentionally change our response.
In Part 2 of our 3-part series, Anthony and I focus on the unique ways Enneagram 4s, 5s, and 6s experience and manage stress. We explore how:
-
Type 4s can channel their profound empathy to forge deep connections and resilience in the face of adversity.
-
The analytical brilliance of Type 5s can overshadow their emotional expression, particularly under stress.
-
Type 6s sometimes seek security in facts and forecasts, overlooking the serenity that comes from within.
We offer practical tips to mitigate self-defeating behaviors and remain emotionally balanced when life’s circumstances are tense.
Listen to the full episode, then please share it with anyone who might be grappling with stress or burnout—it might be just what they need.
P.S. You can also download our Ways to Mitigate Stress Based on Your Personality PDF for a quick-look at tips for each type.
