The enneagram shows us not only who we are when we are in the “trance of personality” but also how we can wake up to ourselves at any given moment.

When caught in the trance, enneagram fives can become fixated on protecting their physical, emotional, and mental energy and resources to avoid feeling overwhelmed and incapable of handling life’s demands. This fixation can be a heavy burden to bear and it can interfere with relationships, goals, and overall impact.

To wake up, enneagram fives can ask themselves:

How can I be more self-confident and decisive…

in this moment?

while doing this activity?

while having this conversation?

By checking in and asking themselves these questions, Fives can loosen the grip of their personality and move towards embodying their highest self.
