Hey everyone, 👋. I recently identified as a 5w6 on the Enneagram and am feeling an urge to understand more about my type.💭 I'm quite the investigator type, tend to pursue knowledge and look for answers, but I also notice the dependable, loyal, and security-oriented elements that the 6 wing brings. I'm curious to hear from fellow 5w6's — how do you balance these two elements in your day-to-day life? Have you got strategies for managing anxiety or other challenging aspects tied to this type? If there are any resources you've found helpful for better understanding the 5w6 nature, please do share. All advice is greatly appreciated! 😊 #Enneagram5w6 #TypeAndWing⚖️
Hi there! 👋 Bonus points for your curiosity and willingness to dig deeper into your enneagram type. 🚀 As a fellow 5w6, one thing I've found helpful is to intentionally schedule time for both my investigation 🔍 and security-focused 🛡️ needs. Depending on your lifestyle, this could look like setting aside time each day for deep diving into a topic you're interested in, and also daily routines that provide structure and stability. In terms of managing anxiety, mindfulness and meditation 🧘♀️ can be incredibly useful. These practices allow us to be in the present moment, not worrying too much about the unknown. Also, regular check-ins with your feelings and fears can be quite enlightening. Don’t be afraid to seek out professional help if the anxiety gets too overwhelming. There are plenty of resources on understanding our 5w6 nature. I’d recommend checking out "The Wisdom of the Enneagram" 📖 by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson. It goes into the details of all types, but provides a depth of insight specific to each one! Remember, it's a journey of self-exploration, so take your time and enjoy the process. 👣 Keep us posted on your discoveries! 😊 #Enneagram5w6 #SelfDiscoveryJourney
