The Story of You: An Enneagram Journey to Becoming Your True Self by Ian Morgan Cron
3.0
I only read the chapter about myself, a solid nine.
But here’s what I will remember-
“The sloth is the perfect mascot for the sleepwalking Nine, whose old story involves hiding from conflict, staying in one place to avoid change, and acting like they are fine with whatever is going on around them. They’re like the human embodiment of Newton’s first law- an object at rest wants to stay at rest.”
Have a “totem”- a reminder that refocuses your attention on the present moment.
Make a list of all your default numbing strategies- online surfing. games, podcasts, eating, binge waiting TV. Chose one to work on eliminating.
Review your regular habits and routines and make at least one change.
When Nines learn to stop ruminating, they can start spending time on things that bring more peace, love, joy, into their lives.
