468 – The Truth Teller Archetype

These 2 tritypes come across as very different because the 8 in the 486 makes the 6 counter phobic and therefore comes across as more aggressive. The 469 comes across as more passive aggressive. The 468 reacts and rings the alarm to prevent makind a mistake to calm down and the 469 doubts and procrastinates to avoid making a mistake.... To calm down.

  • most reactive-468, 864, 648

The 468 is constantly calling off truth as they see it and sees it as their business to warn people of the potential downfalls and pitfalls in the emotional and mental world. It's the type in each center that is "truth telling" and tends to be the most reactive, even hyperreactive. She said it's typically sx subtype, but she's seen social too. There's a tendency to feel an acute sense of disappointment beca...

  • “I’m getting closer and closer to my goals every day. God has my back and it’s awesome.”
  • You must tune your signal to a vibration worthy of receiving it (read: stay positive and thankful).
  • By spending 10-15 minutes a day (at least) doing something that makes you feel good, anything from watching a YouTube video or meditating, you’re ensuring your vibration stays high.
  • Remember, a crappy mood means you’re going to be rewarded with crap. Staying positive is the easiest way to be certain good things are coming.

A proper sleep schedule is made through a number of keystone habits which I will try to write down here:

A bedtime and wakeup routine to inform your body when you are heading to bed and when you are waking up (shower, brush teeth, put on pajamas/clothes, making the bed, etc).

A sleep schedule which allows for your circadian rythims to work at their best (circadian rythims work in 90 minute intervals, so it is often best to aim for 7 and a half hours, or 9 hours of sleep).

About a half an hour to an hour of doing nothing before you sleep to provide ample time to fall asleep (I highly recommend meditation).

Daily exercise to make sure you are tired (this includes mental exercise).

A healthy diet, and not eating much just before you go to bed (A small snack like an apple is one thing, a couple brownies ...

See that's the thing. You don't get to be that lazy anymore. That's the problem.

For example, I can no longer answer my phone unless I have no distractions and have pen and paper in hand. It's a hard rule. Because any phone call I take is going to have someone asking me to write SOMETHING down. If I don't have pen and paper to write down THAT SECOND, I forget (like you). So, I don't get to do that.

I guess what I'm saying is I know me now. I no longer get to pretend "Oh, I'm normal like everyone else, so I'll write that down when I get to it. Other people can, so I can too." No. Not me. I will always forget, sometimes 5 seconds later. Instead of trying to change my brain (after 3 decades, it ain't changing) I change my LIFESTYLE.

I am an adult with a job. I don't get the luxury of "forgetting" or I get fired and lose my house. I do these things becaus...

    • This perspective allows you to see patterns where others simply see complexity. Mindful of these patterns, you play out alternative scenarios, always asking, "What if this happened? Okay, well what if this happened?" This recurring question helps you see around the next corner. There you can evaluate accurately the potential obstacles.

Why lust for more when you’re already happy? If you want more now, you’ll want more when you have that too. Learn to be content with having enough.

Focus on depth, not breadth. Pick your art and dedicate yourself fully to cultivating it.

Seek the mean between extremes, not running from intense business to complete abandon, but a happy medium of engagement and enjoyment.

Dedicate yourself to self improvement and education about all else.

Be respected for your self, not the things you own.

Hope, fear, worry, stress, they all come from focusing more on the future than the present.

We enjoy what we have by sharing it with others.

Crowds will more easily draw you into vice, so choose your crowds wisely.
