In order to create a healthier body, you must first create a healthier mind. And for Enneagram 3 Achievers, that can mean a big shift.
Being “the best” at any one thing is a scam. And with work & wellness specifically, it can become an internal attack of comparisonitis for Enneagram 3 Achiever/Performers.
Nevertheless, for our leader overachievers, it’s be the best or bust. And there ain’t nuthin wrong with those striving efforts, so long as you do it right.
To get (and stay) healthy, Achievers need to THINK differently as much as they need to BEHAVE differently.
Here are 3 mindset shifts to level up your Enneagram 3 hustler health game:
[Listen to the podcast episode here.]
Shift #1: Vulnerable Over Victorious
- Problem: Winning at any expense causes avoidance of the real issues that are blocking your wellness success.
- Solution: Therefore, you should talk to someone (close friend, spouse, family member, therapist) about behaviors & character traits you want to change for the betterment of your health. Journaling it out first will help you articulate what you’re looking to accomplish and why.
Shift #2: Growth Over Failure
- Problem: Comparison can make you feel worse about your worth. Feeling behind or less than is depleting the positive energy required to succeed.
- Solution: Instead, make your perceived mistakes work for you. See apparent “failures” as critical steps in the overall process.
Shift #3: Why Over Win
- Problem: Your desire to be the fittest friend lacks depth & meaning. Vanity drive will only her you so far. What’s going to keep you healthy in the long run?
- Solution: Get lean & feel lit to fuel your purpose, not your ego. Who are you here to help? How do you need to show up for them? What do you need to do with your health to show up in that way?
Remember: An Enneagram 3 Achiever approaches health differently than an Enneagram 2 Helper.
For Enneagram 3 Achievers, wellness all about the heart behind the habit. What are the underlying motivations behind your behaviors?
