Turning consistency into confidence
As an Enneagram 6, your natural strengths in consistency and planning make you a powerhouse when it comes to creating healthy routines. However, challenges like overthinking or needing external validation can sometimes get in the way of your progress. The good news? By embracing flexibility and focusing on mindful, balanced strategies, you can navigate these challenges and turn your consistency into true confidence.
Strengths
FITNESS
Your natural strengths in structure, consistency, and planning are your biggest assets in fitness. You thrive when you have a clear path to follow, and the BodyByBree app provides just that. From tracking your workouts to offering step-by-step guidance, the app eliminates uncertainty, allowing you to focus on making steady progress. Strength training is an especially great fit for you because it provides measurable results, helping you build confidence as you track improvements.
✏️ As someone who loves to feel prepared and informed, Education Week is designed with you in mind. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the “why” behind your fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness journey, empowering you to trust the process.
📖 For tips to feel more confident in your fitness routine, check out the blog Top 3 Things to Know for Your Fitness Journey. It offers practical insights that align with your need for clarity and preparation.
NUTRITION
Your commitment to preparation and structure is a significant strength when it comes to nutrition. You thrive when you have a clear plan, and macro counting is a perfect fit for you. The structure it offers makes you feel secure in your choices, helping you stay focused and avoid second-guessing. Your strength in researching and understanding the "why" behind your nutrition choices gives you a solid foundation for success.
🎧 During Education Week, we’ll dive deep into how to master macros, and you can also listen to the Macros 101 podcast to further your understanding of how to properly track them, giving you the confidence and clarity you need to approach your nutrition.
📖 To support your progress, the Mastering Your Macros: Hitting Your Protein Goals blog is an excellent resource. It provides practical steps to ensure you're consistently hitting your protein targets, reinforcing the methodical approach that you excel at. Your love for detail and planning will keep you on track with macro counting, allowing you to confidently move toward your goals with every step.
MINDFULNESS
Your self-awareness and attention to detail are powerful strengths when it comes to mindfulness. You’re naturally in tune with your thoughts and emotions, which helps you recognize when it’s time to slow down and refocus. Structure keeps you grounded, and the BodyByBree app enhances this by allowing you to track mindfulness practices alongside your workouts and nutrition.
🧘♀️ Guided meditations, like Bree’s Meditation for Beginners, are included to ease decision fatigue and help you clear your mind when you feel mentally overloaded.
🎧 The 5 Ways to Avoid Decision Fatigue podcast offers strategies to reduce exhaustion, helping you make decisions with clarity and confidence.
📖 On busier days, the 5 Mindfulness Tips for Busy Moms blog provides simple, actionable strategies to manage stress without adding to your to-do list. By leaning into these tools and building mindful routines, you’ll strengthen your natural abilities to stay focused, present, and balanced.
Challenges you may face
FITNESS
You might feel hesitant about lifting heavier weights, fearing injury, and often turn to cardio because it feels like a safer option. While cardio has its benefits, relying too heavily on it without strength training makes it harder to build muscle for long-term health.
🎧 The Avoiding the 'Skinny Fat' Trap podcast offers valuable insights into why strength training is crucial for achieving your goals and how it improves metabolism and body composition.
📱 Adding muscle won’t just transform your fitness, it will also help your body feel strong and capable, boosting your sense of safety and security. To ease injury concerns, the BodyByBree app includes form videos, and with our VIP package, you can message a coach for real-time feedback to lift safely.
🥬 If you’re worried about low energy holding you back during workouts, incorporating BodyByBree Greens into your routine can give you a natural boost, keeping you energized and focused on your form. With these tools and resources, you’ll build strength and confidence, helping you feel more secure and empowered in your fitness journey.
NUTRITION
You may often overthink food choices, worrying if you’re making the "right" decisions or sticking to the same meals to feel safe, only to end up bored or burned out. Incorporating recipes from Nourish can provide the structure you crave while keeping your meals varied and enjoyable, offering nutritious options without requiring extra mental effort.
🎧 When disruptions arise, our Mindful Monday series teaches strategies like Honoring the Struggle, helping you adapt with confidence rather than feeling derailed.
🎧 For deeper support, the How to Overcome Stress and Emotional Eating podcast provides tools to manage emotional triggers, while the Mindful vs Mindless Eating podcast helps you make intentional food decisions that feel secure and empowering.
❤️ Additionally, understanding gut health can make a big difference in how balanced and in control you feel. Your gut, often called your body’s "second brain," affects digestion, mood, and energy levels. Our FREE Gut Health Guide explains how to support your digestive system to enhance nutrient absorption, improve energy, and create stability in your overall wellness. By focusing on these strategies, you’ll feel more confident and in control of your nutrition journey.
MINDFULNESS
You often seek external validation to feel secure, which can make it challenging to stay present, especially when progress feels uncertain. This can lead to anxiety, body judgment, or comparing yourself to others. The scale can be particularly triggering, and when the numbers don’t reflect your expectations, it may spiral into doubt about whether you're doing enough. To help ease this we do Bio Feedback check ins. During these check ins we focus on shifting away from external measures like the scale and reflecting so much more like how you are feeling, the habits you are forming and the wins you are having. We encourage you to reflect on how your body feels and the positive changes you're noticing, both mentally and physically. By tracking not just your physical progress but your inner growth, you’ll build confidence in your body’s abilities.
🎧 The Healing Your Relationship with the Scale podcast can help you reframe your mindset, moving away from numbers and learning to trust your body.
🧘♀️ The Detaching Your Worth from Your Body meditation guides you in releasing self-worth tied to outcomes, helping you find peace, confidence, and a sense of grounding throughout your fitness journey.
How to succeed
FITNESS
To succeed, lean into your natural strengths, planning and consistency, while staying flexible. Build a routine that works for you but allows room to adapt when life gets busy. Celebrate daily wins, no matter how small, to stay motivated and reinforce the self-respect you’re building. This is a key focus in our Mindful Monday series, where we discuss how small wins can lead to long-term success.
