Wednesday, 25 March, 2026
You can contact me HERE if you're interested in 1:1 Coaching. Sixes don’t struggle because they think too much. We struggle because we’re thinking inside our thoughts instead of being aware of them. In this episode, I break down one of the most important skills you can develop as a human — and especially as a Six: Metacognition. Thinking about your thinking. The truth is… Sixes are already doing this all the time. We’re constantly analyzing, questioning, and looping. But we’re doing it reactively, not intentionally. And that’s what keeps the fear patterns in place. In this episode, we explore: The difference between reactive vs intentional metacognition Why Sixes are actually naturally wired for this skill Why you can’t think your way out of a fear state How awareness becomes a nervous system tool Why “just changing your thoughts” doesn’t work for Sixes How noticing your patterns creates real choice This isn’t about thinking better. It’s about learning how to see your thinking clearly so you can stop being run by it. A question to take with you: Am I believing this thought… or noticing it?
