Type 1: The Perfectionist/Reformer Mantra

The first of the Enneagram types is purposeful, driven by principals, and while responsible and hardworking, may struggle to give kindness and tolerance to themselves – often feeling like they’re carrying the weight of the world.

Your Enneagram Mantra: I am enough
 

Type 2: The Giver/Helper Mantra

Enneagram type twos, as the name implies, are everyone’s best support system and helper, as the most generous and giving number of the enneagram types. It’s important to turn that loving compassion and support inward, too.

Your Mantra: I am deserving of self-care. Self-care is not selfish
 

Type 3: The Achiever/Motivator Mantra

If you’re a type three, you’ve likely never met a goal you didn’t crush or a deadline you didn’t meet. What doesn’t come quite so naturally is going with the flow, relaxing or sitting in stillness.

Your Mantra: I am doing enough and approve of myself as I am
 

Type 4: The Individualist/Romantic Mantra

An Enneagram type four isn’t afraid of their feelings – they’re sensitive and creative and revel in the waves of emotion. This at times can cause them to fall into the comparison trap or question if they’re special.

Your Mantra: I am seen and loved for exactly who I am
 

Type 5: The Investigator/Observer Mantra

The type five on the Enneagram chart is deeply intelligent, cerebral, and observes the world with a wise eye. Connecting with their inner feelings isn’t always the strong suit for a typical five, however.

Your Mantra: My needs and feelings are worthy of being seen and met
 

Type 6: The Skeptic/Loyalist Mantra

Pragmatic, future-focused, and a planner, a type six craves security and can often feel anxious about what lies ahead.

Suggested Mantra: I have all the support I need
 

Type 7: The Enthusiast/Generalist Mantra

Life is meant to be enjoyed for an Enneagram type seven – who more often than not finds herself as the center of the party and living life in full color. FOMO is a constant for many type sevens, who struggle to live in the moment.

Your Mantra: I am right where I need to be, right now
 

Type 8: The Leader/Boss Mantra

A type eight enneagram is a boss and knows it – they truly own their own power and authority. Relinquishing any can be a struggle, and their headstrong nature can sometimes push others away.

Your Mantra: I can let this be easy
 

Type 9 (The Peacemaker/Mediator):

The last of the Enneagram types, type nines value harmony and peace in the world around them, and can sometimes struggle with feelings of worthlessness as they overlook giving nurturing energy to themselves.

Your Mantra: I am willing to show up for myself
