Understanding Your Enneagram Type for Better Fitness Habits

Every fitness journey is unique because we all approach our health with different motivations, habits, and challenges. The Enneagram is a powerful tool that helps you understand your core personality type, revealing how your natural tendencies influence your approach to fitness, nutrition, and motivation.

By discovering your Enneagram type, you’ll gain valuable insight into how to create habits that not only work for you but feel aligned with who you are at your core. Here’s a quick look at each of the nine Enneagram types and how they shape your fitness journey:

Type 1: The Perfectionist – You’re driven by doing things the right way, and structure is key. Knowing this can help you create disciplined fitness routines that align with your high standards, while also allowing for flexibility to avoid burnout.

Type 2: The Helper – You’re motivated by supporting others, but you can sometimes forget to prioritize your own needs. Understanding this can help you find a balance between caring for yourself and inspiring others through your wellness journey.

Type 3: The Achiever – You thrive on success and results. Knowing this allows you to set clear, measurable goals that drive you forward while avoiding the temptation to overwork yourself in pursuit of perfection.

Type 4: The Individualist – Fitness for you is about self-expression and authenticity. Understanding this helps you create a routine that reflects who you are, keeping you motivated by connecting to your emotions and personal values.

Type 5: The Investigator – You’re analytical and like to understand the "why" behind your actions. By knowing this, you can build fitness habits grounded in research, ensuring you stay engaged through learning and personal progress.

Type 6: The Loyalist – You value safety and structure. With this knowledge, you can create a fitness plan that gives you a sense of security, while also pushing you to step out of your comfort zone when necessary.

Type 7: The Enthusiast – You’re all about fun and variety. Knowing this can help you avoid boredom by mixing up your fitness routine, keeping things exciting and fresh so you stay committed in the long term.

Type 8: The Challenger – You’re driven by strength and control. This understanding allows you to channel your power into workouts that challenge you physically and mentally, while also remembering to balance intensity with rest.

Mastering your health journey

As an Enneagram 1, you have a natural drive for perfection and a deep commitment to doing things the "right" way. This can be a powerful force when it comes to your wellness journey, but it can also present some challenges. When it comes to nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness, tapping into your strengths while being mindful of potential pitfalls will help you succeed in a balanced, sustainable way.

Strengths

DRIVEN BY DISCIPLINE
You thrive on structure and discipline. Once you set your mind to something, you follow through with determination. This makes you excellent at sticking to routines, whether it’s meal planning or workout schedules.
Tip: Use your love for structure to plan ahead—outline your workouts and meals for the week so you stay on track and feel accomplished.

STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE
You have high standards, and when you apply those to your wellness journey, you’re always looking for ways to improve and grow. This growth mindset is key to reaching your goals.
Tip: Channel your drive for improvement into small, daily progress rather than all-or-nothing thinking. Remember, consistency beats perfection.

INTEGRITY IN ACTION
As a 1, you’re motivated by a strong sense of integrity. When you commit to something, you do it wholeheartedly, and that includes your health. You’re not one to cut corners, and this dedication will serve you well in your wellness journey.
Tip: Stick to the principles that matter to you—whether it’s eating whole, unprocessed foods or staying consistent with your workouts—your integrity will keep you aligned with your goals.

Challenges you may face

PERFECTIONISM PARALYSIS
Your high standards can sometimes work against you. If things aren’t going perfectly—whether you miss a workout or stray from your meal plan—it’s easy to get discouraged or give up entirely.
Guidance: Embrace progress over perfection. It’s okay to be flexible and adjust as needed. If something doesn’t go as planned, don’t see it as failure—see it as an opportunity to learn and grow.

BEING HARD ON YOURSELF
Enneagram 1s tend to be their own worst critics. If you’re not meeting your own expectations, you might struggle with feelings of guilt or self-judgment.
Guidance: Practice self-compassion. Give yourself credit for the effort you’re putting in, even if the results aren’t immediate. Remember, everyone has off days, and you’re doing the best you can.

ALL OR NOTHING THINKING
You might feel like if you can’t do something perfectly, it’s not worth doing at all. This mindset can lead to burnout or frustration, especially when it comes to long-term health goals.
Guidance: Focus on building sustainable habits rather than chasing perfection. Small, consistent actions add up over time. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small they seem.

How to succeed

NUTRITION
You likely prefer clean eating, structured meal plans, and balanced nutrition. You might feel frustrated when you can’t stick to your ideal plan, but remember that flexibility is key to long-term success.
Advice: Plan your meals with balance in mind—include a variety of nutrient-dense foods, but give yourself permission to enjoy treats without guilt. Aim for 80% adherence to your meal plan and allow the other 20% for life’s inevitable curveballs.

WORKOUTS
You’re naturally drawn to structured exercise plans and enjoy setting and reaching specific goals. However, your tendency toward perfectionism might lead you to overdo it or feel guilty when you miss a session.
Advice: Find a workout routine that challenges you but is also sustainable. Remember that rest and recovery are just as important as the work itself. You’ll benefit from workouts that allow you to track progress over time, like strength training or endurance sports, while leaving room for flexibility.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness can help you release the pressure of always needing to be perfect. It’s a space where you can observe your thoughts and emotions without judgment, allowing yourself to simply “be.”
Advice: Incorporate daily mindfulness practices, like meditation or deep breathing, to quiet your inner critic. Even just a few minutes each day can help you reset, gain perspective, and find peace in the process rather than perfection.

Embracing your Enneagram 1 strengths while being mindful of your natural tendencies toward perfectionism will help you build a balanced and sustainable approach to your health. You have the discipline and integrity to achieve great things—just remember to be kind to yourself along the way.

You’ve got the tools. Now it’s time to put them into action!

Thriving in your health journey

As an Enneagram 2, you have a heart that thrives on helping others, and that can be your superpower when it comes to your own wellness journey. Your natural ability to care, connect, and support those around you can be a powerful tool in how you approach nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness. But like any personality type, there are challenges you might face as well. Let’s explore both the strengths and potential roadblocks you may encounter, with some guidance to help you succeed in all areas of your health.

Strengths

EMPATHY AS MOTIVATION
You love taking care of others, and you can use that same caring energy to take care of yourself. When you nourish your body and soul, you’ll be able to give even more to those you love.
Tip: Think of your wellness routine as self-care that helps you show up as your best self for those you care about.

COMMUNITY & SUPPORT
You thrive in community, so use that to your advantage! Group workouts, accountability buddies, or cooking healthy meals with friends or family can keep you motivated.
Tip: Lean on the BodyByBree community for inspiration and encouragement. Don’t be afraid to ask for support; remember, it’s okay to be on the receiving end too!

GIVING WITH PURPOSE
You’re always ready to give, and in this case, you’re giving to yourself. Creating healthy habits means you’re pouring from a full cup. When you feel energized and strong, you’ll naturally have more to give back to others.
Tip: Reframe your mindset around self-care—it’s not selfish; it’s essential.

Challenges you may face

NEGLECTING YOURSELF
With your tendency to put others first, you might find it hard to prioritize your workouts, nutrition, or mindfulness. It’s easy to skip your routine when someone else needs your help.
Guidance: Schedule “you time” like you would an important appointment. Block out specific times for your workouts, meal prep, or mindfulness practices, and protect that time fiercely.

EMOTIONAL EATING
Since 2s are deeply connected to emotions, there’s a chance you might reach for food when feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained.
Guidance: Practice mindfulness around your eating habits. When you feel the urge to snack, pause and ask yourself, “Am I hungry, or am I seeking comfort?” Pair mindful eating with regular meals that fuel and nourish your body.

BURNOUT FROM GIVING TOO MUCH
You’re constantly giving, but without boundaries, that can lead to burnout. If you’re always saying “yes” to others and “no” to yourself, you’ll hit a wall eventually.
Guidance: Establish clear boundaries, especially around your personal health goals. It's okay to say “no” or ask for help when needed. Balance is key.

How to succeed

NUTRITION
Keep your nutrition simple but meaningful. Prepare meals with love and care, knowing that what you’re eating will fuel your ability to serve and care for others. You’ll feel more energized and vibrant when you consistently nourish your body with balanced, nutrient-dense meals.
Advice: Incorporate some self-care rituals into your eating routine. For example, make meal prep an enjoyable experience—put on your favorite playlist and cook with intention. Choose foods that support your energy and mood.

WORKOUTS
You’ll likely enjoy movement that feels connected to a larger purpose—whether it’s training with a friend, joining a fitness class, or working out to feel your best for those you love.
Advice: Opt for workouts that align with your emotional and physical needs. Strength training can help you feel empowered, while yoga or Pilates might offer you that emotional and physical release you crave.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness can be a game-changer for an Enneagram 2. You’re naturally attuned to others’ emotions, but mindfulness can help you stay attuned to your own. It’s a chance to check in with yourself, refill your emotional tank, and ensure you’re not running on empty.
Advice: Carve out just a few minutes each day for mindfulness. Whether it’s through meditation, deep breathing, or simply journaling, mindfulness will keep you grounded and centered.

By understanding your unique strengths and challenges as a 2, you can tailor your wellness journey in a way that feels authentic to you. Remember, it’s about balancing the love you give to others with the care you give to yourself.

You’ve got this, and we’re here to support you every step of the way!

Excelling in your health journey

As an Enneagram 3, you’re naturally ambitious, driven by achievement, and always striving to reach your full potential. These traits make you well-suited to setting and crushing health and fitness goals. However, your desire for success can sometimes lead to burnout or frustration if results don’t come fast enough. Let’s explore how to maximize your strengths and navigate any challenges to stay on track with your nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness.

Strengths

GOAL ORIENTED & DRIVEN
You thrive when you have clear goals in sight, and your ability to focus and work hard to achieve them is unmatched. Whether it’s hitting a new PR in the gym or sticking to a nutrition plan, you’re all about setting measurable targets and crushing them.
Tip: Use your goal-setting nature to your advantage. Break your health journey into small, achievable milestones that give you a sense of accomplishment along the way.

HIGH ENERGY & MOTIVATION
You bring a high level of energy and determination to everything you do, including your wellness routine. This helps you stay consistent with your workouts and meal plans.
Tip: Leverage your natural motivation by trying challenging workouts or setting performance-based goals (like improving your strength or endurance) to keep things exciting.

ADAPTABILITY & SUCCESS MINDED
You’re great at adapting to situations and figuring out how to succeed in any environment. Whether you’re traveling, busy with work, or juggling family responsibilities, you know how to make things work.
Tip: Be flexible with your plans while keeping your eye on the long-term goal. Adjust as needed, but always keep moving forward.

Challenges you may face

TYING SELF-WORTH TO ACHIEVEMENT
As a 3, you might be so focused on achieving external results that you tie your self-worth to your success. If you don’t see progress right away, it can lead to frustration or feeling like a failure.
Guidance: Focus on the process rather than just the outcome. Celebrate the small wins and remind yourself that consistency, not perfection, leads to lasting results.

OVERWORKING & BURNOUT
Your desire to excel in everything you do can sometimes push you too hard. Whether it’s overdoing workouts or sticking to a strict meal plan, burnout is a real risk.
Guidance: Balance your drive with rest and recovery. Remember that giving your body time to recharge is just as important as pushing hard in the gym.

IMPATIENCE WITH RESULTS
You’re used to excelling quickly, so when progress in your health journey takes time, it can feel frustrating.
Guidance: Shift your mindset to embrace long-term progress. Consistency is key, and not every win will be immediate. Focus on the big picture, and remind yourself that sustainable change takes time.

How to succeed

NUTRITION
Your natural ability to set goals and stay disciplined means you’re great at sticking to a nutrition plan. However, it’s important to focus on balance rather than chasing the “perfect” diet.
Advice: Set specific, measurable nutrition goals that fuel your workouts and support your energy levels. Whether it’s hitting your macros or eating more whole foods, align your nutrition with your performance goals. Don’t forget to enjoy your food and build in some flexibility.

WORKOUTS
You’re highly motivated by progress, so workouts that allow you to track improvement over time will keep you engaged. Whether it’s strength training, HIIT, or endurance-based activities, aim for performance-based goals.
Advice: Try tracking your progress with data—whether it’s reps, weights, or distance. Set benchmarks to challenge yourself and stay motivated. And remember, consistency beats intensity. It’s better to show up regularly than to overdo it and burn out.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness can be a game-changer for you. It’s a tool that helps you stay present, calm your mind, and disconnect from the constant drive to achieve.
Advice: Set aside a few minutes each day for mindfulness practices, whether it’s meditation, breathwork, or journaling. This will help you reconnect with your body and goals in a balanced way, reducing stress and keeping you grounded.

As an Enneagram 3, your drive for success will serve you well in your wellness journey. By balancing your ambition with self-compassion and patience, you’ll be able to achieve long-term, sustainable results. Remember, it’s not just about reaching your goals—it’s about enjoying the journey, too.

You’re already set up for success. Let’s get after it!

Embracing your unique health journey

As an Enneagram 4, you’re deeply in touch with your emotions and driven by a need for authenticity and self-expression. This can be both a beautiful strength and a challenge when it comes to your wellness journey. Understanding how to channel your creativity and emotional depth into nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness can help you stay consistent while honoring who you are.

Strengths

EMOTIONALLY CONNECTED
You’re in tune with your emotions, which allows you to connect deeply with your body and its needs. This emotional awareness can help you understand how different foods and movements affect your mood and energy levels.
Tip: Listen to your body’s signals and feed it with the foods and activities that make you feel your best emotionally and physically. You’re uniquely positioned to make your wellness journey highly personal and meaningful.

CREATIVITY & INDIVIDUALITY
As a 4, you thrive on doing things in a way that feels unique to you. This can lead to finding creative ways to make healthy eating and fitness routines more exciting and less monotonous.
Tip: Embrace variety in your meals and workouts. Experiment with new recipes, workouts, or wellness practices that reflect your individuality and keep you engaged.

DESIRE FOR DEPTH & MEANING
You’re not someone who settles for surface-level experiences. You seek meaning in everything, which means you can turn your health journey into something deeply personal and transformative.
Tip: Align your wellness goals with your values. Think of your nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness practices as tools to help you grow into the best version of yourself.

Challenges you may face

EMOTIONAL HIGHS & LOWS
As a 4, you may experience emotional fluctuations, which can sometimes lead to inconsistent motivation in your health journey. It’s easy to feel inspired one day and disconnected the next.
Guidance: Develop routines that ground you, even on days when your emotions feel overwhelming. Creating rituals around your nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness can provide structure without stifling your creativity.

COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS
You have a strong desire to be unique, but this can also lead to comparing yourself to others and feeling like you’re not measuring up.
Guidance: Focus on your personal journey, not anyone else’s. Remember, your progress is yours alone, and what matters most is how you feel and grow along the way.

STRUGGLING WITH CONSISTENCY
You might find it difficult to stick to rigid routines because you crave variety and depth. When something feels too repetitive or shallow, it can be hard to stay committed.
Guidance: Allow flexibility in your routines. If you feel bored or uninspired, switch things up, but always come back to the core habits that keep you on track. Consistency doesn’t mean monotony—it can still be creative and evolving.

How to succeed

NUTRITION
You’re likely drawn to food as an expression of emotion or culture, and you prefer meals that feel nourishing not just to your body, but to your soul. However, emotional eating can also be a challenge during tough times.
Advice: Make your meals an experience. Cook with intention and use recipes that excite your senses. At the same time, practice mindful eating to avoid using food as an emotional outlet. Listen to how your body responds to different foods and create meals that nourish you on multiple levels.

WORKOUTS
You need movement that feels authentic to who you are. Whether it’s dance, yoga, or a solo run, find workouts that allow you to express yourself and connect with your emotions.
Advice: Choose activities that inspire you. If you’re someone who thrives in nature, take your workouts outside. If you love music, create a playlist that motivates you during exercise. Allow your workouts to be a form of self-expression and healing.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness is a powerful tool for you. As someone who is deeply introspective, mindfulness practices like meditation, journaling, or breathwork can help you process emotions, manage stress, and stay grounded.
Advice: Make mindfulness a daily habit, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Use this time to check in with your emotions and reflect on your health journey. Journaling can be especially powerful for you, as it helps you explore your inner world while keeping track of your progress.

As an Enneagram 4, your health journey can be a rich, personal exploration. By embracing your emotional depth, creativity, and desire for meaning, you can build a wellness routine that reflects who you are and supports your unique needs. Just remember to be kind to yourself during the process—you don’t have to be perfect to make progress.

You’ve got this, and I’m here to help you every step of the way!

Succeeding in your health journey

As an Enneagram 5, your natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge can be powerful tools in your health journey. You approach challenges with a thoughtful and analytical mindset, often wanting to gather as much information as possible before taking action. While this can help you make well-informed decisions, it can also lead to overthinking or hesitation. Let’s explore how to harness your strengths and overcome any challenges so you can succeed in your nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness practices.

Strengths

KNOWLEDGE-DRIVEN
You love to learn, and this makes you excellent at researching the best ways to approach your health and fitness goals. You’re likely to dig deep into the science behind nutrition or the mechanics of exercise, ensuring you have a solid foundation for success.
Tip: Use your research skills to create a wellness plan backed by science, but remember that the best plan is the one you consistently follow. Avoid getting stuck in “research mode”—balance knowledge with action.

INDEPENDENT & SELF-SUFFICIENT
You don’t rely on others to motivate you. Your independence means you can create your own workout and nutrition routines and stick to them without needing constant external validation or encouragement.
Tip: Build a routine that works for you, one that you can maintain on your own terms. Just remember, it’s okay to ask for help or support if you ever need it.

ANALYTICAL & OBJECTIVE
Your analytical mind allows you to make thoughtful, data-driven decisions. You’re great at tracking progress and adjusting your approach when necessary, which is a huge asset when working toward long-term health goals.
Tip: Track your progress in a way that keeps you motivated—whether it’s through data, personal reflections, or both. Use this information to make adjustments to your routine as needed.

Challenges you may face

OVERTHINKING & ANALYSIS PARALYSIS
As a 5, you may get caught in “analysis paralysis,” where you feel the need to gather endless information before starting. This can lead to delayed action or missed opportunities for progress.
Guidance: Set a time limit on research, and once you’ve gathered enough information, take action. Remember, you can always adjust along the way. Don’t let the perfect plan be the enemy of good progress.

WITHDRAWING UNDER STRESS
When overwhelmed or stressed, you may retreat into your thoughts and pull away from others, making it harder to maintain consistency in your health routines.
Guidance: Be mindful of your tendency to withdraw. Create a simple, sustainable plan that you can follow even when motivation is low. If you find yourself isolating, consider joining a supportive community or reaching out to a coach for accountability.

PRIORITIZING KNOWLEDGE OVER EXPERIENCE
You may feel more comfortable in the realm of learning and theorizing than in putting things into practice. This can lead to a gap between what you know and what you’re actually doing.
Guidance: Balance learning with action. For every piece of information you gather, commit to putting it into practice. Try to make your wellness journey as much about the experience as it is about the knowledge.

How to succeed

NUTRITION
You likely prefer a logical, structured approach to nutrition. You may enjoy tracking macros or following a meal plan that’s backed by science and tailored to your specific needs.
Advice: Use your analytical skills to create a meal plan that aligns with your goals. Track your food intake and observe how different foods affect your energy, mood, and performance. But remember, it’s okay to adapt and adjust based on how you feel, rather than strictly sticking to numbers.

WORKOUTS
You’re likely to gravitate toward workouts that are structured, measurable, and efficient. Whether it’s strength training, running, or another form of exercise, you’ll appreciate routines that allow you to track progress and improve over time.
Advice: Create a workout plan that aligns with your desire for progress and knowledge. Focus on techniques that allow you to see tangible results, like increasing weights in strength training or improving times in cardio. Keep the plan flexible enough that you don’t get bored or overwhelmed by too much structure.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness can be especially beneficial for you, helping you stay present and calm when your mind starts racing with ideas or overanalysis. Practices like meditation, journaling, or deep breathing can help you ground yourself.
Advice: Make mindfulness a regular part of your routine to counterbalance your natural tendency to overthink. Even just a few minutes a day of meditation or quiet reflection can help you stay centered and reduce stress.

As an Enneagram 5, your thirst for knowledge and independence makes you a strong candidate for success in your health journey. By balancing your love for learning with practical action, you can achieve sustainable, long-term results. Remember, it’s not just about what you know—it’s about what you do with that knowledge.

Building confidence in your health journey

As an Enneagram 6, you value security, consistency, and support. These qualities can make you incredibly dedicated to your health journey, but they can also lead to feelings of uncertainty or anxiety when things feel unpredictable. By tapping into your loyalty, planning, and community-driven nature, you can create a sustainable wellness routine that works for you. Let’s explore how to lean into your strengths and overcome the challenges you may face in nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness.

Tip: Create a wellness routine that you can fully commit to and trust. Make it a part of your lifestyle, and your natural dedication will keep you on track.

PREPARED & ORGANIZED
You like to plan and prepare for potential challenges, which means you’re great at thinking ahead. Whether it’s meal prepping or planning your workouts for the week, your organizational skills will help you stay consistent.

Challenges you may face

SELF-DOUBT & SECOND-GUESSING
You may struggle with self-doubt or second-guessing your choices, especially when trying something new. This can lead to indecision or hesitation in your health journey.
Guidance: Trust in the process and the plan you’ve committed to. Give yourself permission to follow through, even when doubts creep in. If you feel uncertain, rely on trusted sources or coaches to validate your path.

ANXIETY ABOUT UNCERTAINTY
Uncertainty can be unsettling for a 6, and this may lead to anxiety about whether your health journey will deliver the results you want. You might also worry about the unknowns, like injury or failure.
Guidance: Focus on the things you can control—your daily habits, your effort, and your commitment. Build flexibility into your routine to handle the unexpected, but always come back to the core actions that move you toward your goals.

OVERRELIANCE ON EXTERNAL VALIDATION
As a 6, you may seek reassurance or external validation to feel secure in your progress. While feedback can be helpful, it’s important to build confidence in your own abilities and choices.
Guidance: Celebrate your own wins, no matter how small, and learn to trust your judgment. Practice acknowledging your progress without always needing outside approval.

How to succeed

NUTRITION
You do well with structure, so having a consistent meal plan will help you stay on track. You might feel more confident when you have a clear, organized approach to your nutrition.
Advice: Plan your meals ahead of time to avoid feeling overwhelmed by choices. Stick to a balanced plan that includes foods you enjoy and feel good about. If you’re unsure about what to eat, consult trusted sources and avoid getting bogged down by too many opinions.

WORKOUTS
Routine is key for you, and you’ll likely feel more comfortable with a structured workout plan that you can rely on. However, don’t be afraid to adapt when needed or try new activities that push you slightly out of your comfort zone.
Advice: Choose a workout program that you trust and that provides clear guidance. Consider working with a coach or joining a group class where you can rely on external structure. If anxiety arises, remind yourself that consistency over time yields results.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness is particularly helpful for you, as it can ease anxiety and help you stay grounded in the present moment. Regular mindfulness practices will help you feel more in control and less anxious about the unknown.
Advice: Incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine, whether it’s through meditation, journaling, or simply taking a few deep breaths. Use these practices to quiet your mind and refocus on your goals when you feel doubt or anxiety creeping in.

As an Enneagram 6, your strengths in loyalty, organization, and community can help you create a sustainable and rewarding health journey. By trusting the process and your own abilities, while leaning on your support systems when needed, you’ll be well on your way to achieving your goals.

Finding joy in your health journey

As an Enneagram 7, you’re naturally enthusiastic, adventurous, and always seeking new experiences. These qualities can make your wellness journey exciting and full of variety, but they can also make it challenging to stay consistent when things start to feel routine.

Challenges you may face

DIFFICULTY WITH ROUTINE
You might struggle with sticking to a set routine because you’re always chasing the next exciting thing. When things start to feel repetitive, it’s easy for you to lose interest or abandon the plan.
Guidance: Build flexibility into your routine. While consistency is key, you can create structure without feeling restricted. Plan a few non-negotiable habits but leave room for spontaneity and change.

AVOIDING UNCOMFORTABLE EMOTIONS
As a 7, you may tend to avoid discomfort, including emotional or physical challenges. This can lead to skipping tough workouts or turning to food for comfort when you’re feeling stressed.
Guidance: Learn to embrace the uncomfortable parts of your health journey. Growth often comes from pushing through challenges. Practice mindfulness to stay present with difficult emotions rather than avoiding them.

OVERINDULGENCE
Your love for fun and pleasure can sometimes lead to overindulgence, whether it’s in food, treats, or even overcommitting to too many activities.
Guidance: Find balance in your indulgences. Practice mindful eating and be aware of when you’re using food or other comforts to fill an emotional void. Moderation will allow you to enjoy life without derailing your progress.

How to succeed

NUTRITION
You’re likely to enjoy experimenting with different foods and trying new, exciting recipes. However, you might struggle with consistency when it comes to sticking to a balanced nutrition plan.
Advice: Keep your meals fun and varied. Try new recipes and flavors, but also create a solid meal plan that gives you structure. Use meal prep as a creative outlet and experiment with new ingredients that align with your health goals.

WORKOUTS
You’re naturally drawn to dynamic, engaging workouts that don’t feel monotonous. You might find it hard to stick to a single routine, so incorporating variety will help you stay consistent.
Advice: Choose activities that you find fun, whether it’s dance, group fitness classes, hiking, or something else that keeps you excited to move. If a workout starts to feel boring, switch it up! You’ll be more successful when your fitness plan keeps you engaged.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness might feel challenging for you since staying still and focusing inward can seem counterintuitive to your lively nature. However, regular mindfulness practices can help you manage stress, stay present, and balance your fast-paced lifestyle.
Advice: Start with short, fun mindfulness practices, like guided meditations or breathing exercises. Use mindfulness as a tool to reconnect with yourself and enjoy the present moment without constantly seeking the next thrill.

As an Enneagram 7, your energy and zest for life can make your health journey an exciting adventure. By balancing your love for variety with a bit of structure and consistency, you’ll be able to enjoy the process while achieving long-term success.

Harnessing your power in your health journey

As an Enneagram 8, you’re strong-willed, decisive, and naturally driven by a desire for control and independence. These qualities give you the power to take charge of your health journey with confidence and determination. However, your intensity can sometimes lead to burnout or resistance to vulnerability. By embracing your strengths and being mindful of potential challenges, you can create a balanced, empowering wellness routine that works for you.

Strengths

DRIVEN BY STRENGTH & POWER
You thrive on feeling strong and in control, both physically and mentally. This makes you a natural fit for challenging workouts and nutrition plans that demand discipline and focus.
Tip: Set goals that align with your need for strength and resilience. Whether it’s improving your physical endurance, building muscle, or mastering new skills, your drive will push you toward success.

DECISIVE & ACTION-ORIENTED
You’re not someone who hesitates or second-guesses your decisions. Once you set your mind to something, you go all in. This decisiveness is an asset when it comes to committing to your health goals.
Tip: Use your ability to take quick action by creating a clear plan and sticking to it. Break your goals into manageable steps and focus on executing them with confidence.

FEARLESS & RESILIENT
You’re not afraid to push through challenges, and you don’t back down when the going gets tough. Your resilience is a powerful tool that can help you stay on track, even when faced with setbacks.
Tip: Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow. When things get difficult, remind yourself of your inner strength and push forward, knowing that resilience is your greatest asset.

Challenges you may face

RESISTANCE TO VULNERABILITY
As an 8, you may resist feeling vulnerable, which can lead to difficulty asking for help or admitting when things aren’t going as planned.
Guidance: Recognize that vulnerability is not a weakness. It’s okay to seek support from others when needed, whether it’s from a coach, a fitness buddy, or a trusted friend. Leaning on others can make you stronger, not weaker.

TENDENCY TO OVERDO IT
Your intensity and drive can sometimes lead you to push too hard, resulting in burnout or injury. You may find it difficult to scale back, even when your body needs rest.
Guidance: Practice balance by incorporating rest and recovery into your routine. Remember, strength isn’t just about going all out—it’s also about knowing when to rest and recharge so you can come back stronger.

CONTROL ISSUES
You like being in control, but sometimes the unpredictability of life can throw off your plans. This can lead to frustration or even abandoning your goals when things don’t go your way.
Guidance: Embrace flexibility in your routine. Build in room for adjustments and be willing to adapt when things don’t go as planned. Having control over your health journey means being able to navigate change gracefully.

How to succeed

NUTRITION
You’ll do best with a nutrition plan that feels empowering and gives you control over your choices. However, your intensity might lead to extremes, like being overly strict or rigid with your diet.
Advice: Create a balanced, sustainable nutrition plan that fuels your body and supports your goals. Give yourself the freedom to enjoy food without feeling like you’re compromising your strength. Remember, consistency is key—not perfection.

WORKOUTS
You love a challenge and thrive on pushing your limits. Intense, strength-based workouts are a perfect match for your drive and desire to feel powerful.
Advice: Focus on workouts that challenge you physically, like weightlifting, HIIT, or martial arts. However, be mindful of overtraining—schedule rest days and active recovery to prevent burnout. Your body is a powerful tool, but it needs care to stay strong.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness might not come naturally to you, as you prefer action and results. However, learning to pause and connect with yourself can help you manage stress, avoid burnout, and stay in tune with your body’s needs.
Advice: Incorporate mindfulness practices that allow you to stay grounded without feeling passive. Activities like yoga, breathwork, or short guided meditations can help you connect with your inner strength and calm your mind.

As an Enneagram 8, your strength, determination, and resilience are key to your success in your wellness journey. By balancing your intense drive with self-compassion and flexibility, you’ll be able to create a routine that empowers you and helps you achieve lasting results.

You’ve got the power, and I’m here to help you channel it!

Finding balance in your health journey

As an Enneagram 9, you value peace, harmony, and balance. You’re naturally easygoing and adaptable, which can be a great strength in your wellness journey. However, your desire to avoid conflict or discomfort can sometimes lead to procrastination or putting others’ needs before your own. By tapping into your strengths and addressing potential challenges, you can create a wellness routine that feels aligned and sustainable for you.

Strengths

ADAPTABLE & EASYGOING
Your flexibility and ability to go with the flow can make it easier for you to adapt to new routines, foods, or workouts without getting overwhelmed.
Tip: Use your adaptability to ease into new habits. Whether it’s adjusting your nutrition or trying new forms of exercise, trust that you can handle change with grace.

DESIRE FOR HARMONY
You naturally seek balance and harmony, which means you’re more likely to pursue wellness habits that support your long-term well-being rather than short-term gains.
Tip: Focus on creating a balanced routine that feels sustainable rather than extreme. Whether it’s finding a workout rhythm or eating in a way that feels nourishing, prioritize habits that bring you peace and stability.

ABILITY TO SEE MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES
Your ability to see all sides of a situation means you’re open to exploring different approaches to wellness. This makes you great at finding what works best for you without getting stuck in a single way of doing things.
Tip: Experiment with different methods until you find a routine that feels right. Your ability to adapt and adjust will help you find balance in your nutrition, workouts, and mindfulness practices.

Challenges you may face

PROCRASTINATION & INACTION
As a 9, you may struggle with procrastination or avoiding action when it feels uncomfortable or too disruptive. This can make it difficult to start or stay consistent with your health goals.
Guidance: Set small, manageable goals that don’t feel overwhelming. Break your health journey into bite-sized steps that are easy to commit to, and focus on taking action, even when it feels uncomfortable.

DIFFICULTY PRIORITIZING YOURSELF
You may find it challenging to prioritize your own needs, especially if you’re busy supporting others. This can lead to neglecting your nutrition or workouts in favor of keeping the peace or making others happy.
Guidance: Remember that prioritizing your health allows you to show up better for others. Create non-negotiable time for your wellness, and treat it as essential to your overall well-being.

AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICT OR DISCOMFORT
You may tend to avoid anything that feels too difficult or uncomfortable, whether it’s a tough workout or a challenging nutrition plan.
Guidance: Growth often comes from stepping out of your comfort zone. While it’s important to keep things balanced, challenge yourself to embrace discomfort in small ways, knowing that it leads to progress.

How to succeed

NUTRITION
You might find it easier to go with what’s comfortable rather than pushing for a structured eating plan. However, this can sometimes lead to inconsistent choices or mindless eating.
Advice: Create a simple and balanced meal plan that’s easy to stick to. Focus on whole, nourishing foods that support your energy and well-being. Allow yourself flexibility, but aim for consistency by prepping meals in advance or following a plan that takes the guesswork out of your daily choices.

WORKOUTS
You enjoy routines that are calm, steady, and non-disruptive. However, without clear goals, you might struggle with motivation or consistency.
Advice: Choose workouts that align with your natural desire for peace and balance, like yoga, Pilates, or walking. At the same time, challenge yourself with occasional strength training or more intense activities to keep your body strong and your mind engaged. Having a workout buddy or joining a group class can also provide the motivation you need to stay consistent.

MINDFULNESS
Mindfulness comes naturally to you as you appreciate stillness and calm. Practices like meditation, deep breathing, or journaling can help you stay grounded and in tune with your body’s needs.
Advice: Set aside regular time for mindfulness, even if it’s just a few minutes each day. Use this time to reflect on your goals, check in with your body, and stay connected to your wellness journey. Mindfulness can help you overcome procrastination and stay motivated.

As an Enneagram 9, your strengths in adaptability, balance, and calm make you well-suited for a sustainable and peaceful health journey. By embracing small challenges and taking consistent action, you can create a wellness routine that feels aligned with your values and supports your long-term well-being.
