The best self-care practices for enneagram type six is explained inside. It’s a subject I’m delighted to talk with an actual type six on what this looks like in life.
Self-care is a subject that I’ve thought long and hard about. Similar to the body positivity movement – it’s one that has a lot of good and bad. But if we go back to the original definition of the word, then I think we can start to understand that self-care is not just another series of benchmarks and checkmarks, but it’s a filling from abundance.
Of knowing where you are and loving yourself for being there. Yet willing to take the necessary action to fill that self up. Whether through nourishing foods, bubble baths, or anything in between. Self-care is what you need and providing that when you need it – even if it is just a morning of extra sleep.
So maybe all of that to say, we don’t have to practice self-care but rather make self-care a part of who we are — living self-aware.
The Ennea-health series was born from this. A place of actual knowledge to take action, creating a healthier life that is who you are not what you do.
Today we continue digging into the Enneagram type six through an interview with an online friend. Today I talk with Heidi Krohn about her health journey how she has learned to use her strengths to overcome her health hurdles. Learn all the details and what this could mean for you inside the podcast.

As a six, you’re always in your head – thinking, planning, imagining, fearing – it’s constant chatter. While this can be valued, you must also give your mind rest and space. Rather than living stuck in the “worst-case-scenario” mindset, what would happen if you shifted that to your what you already have? Living with the mindset of abundance, of safety, of love over fear.
Don’t overthink it, overanalyze it, or plan for it. But imagine, what would change if you looked at health as a means of filling rather than fixing?
Make this your mindset shift as you approach healthy lifestyle changes. That these aren’t just another thing you can use to secure or hoard your safety – but as a means to fill yourself creating security in the vessel, you have to live out your purpose. The hardest part is just showing up – but maybe that is the bravest thing you could do?
Inside the podcast, I talk with Heidi Krohn about her struggle with anxiety and how she has learned health practices and routines to help her use her mind for health. We dive in deep with how she has learned to manage her thoughts — learning into the confidence of what she brings to the table.
