In his book Enneagram Transformations, Don Riso suggests a series of Transformative Psychological Affirmations and that we might want to reflect on, as well as modify so that they land better with our own psyche and then read them aloud (maybe even on a daily basis).
Here are his suggestions for using the Transformations:
“People have found a variety of ways to incorporate these Transformations in their lives. Some have found it helpful to read them in the morning as part of their daily prayer or meditation, while others have found it useful to read them at night before going to sleep. Whenever you choose to read them, try to find a time when you will not be distracted and are receptive to what they evoke in you.
It is helpful to read the Transformations aloud, as this is an effective way of reprogramming your subconscious. With repetition, you will find that you may have memorized some of the Transformations and that they will spontaneously occur to you. You may want to hold an Affirmation or a Release in mind during stressful moments by repeating it several times in the manner of a prayer or mantra to shift your attention to something positive and helpful.”
THE TRANSFORMATIONS (listed by Enneagram Type)
PERSONALITY TYPE ONE: The Rational, Idealistic Type
ONES TRY TO ESCAPE from their fear of being condemned by striving to be perfect. They see themselves as fair, reasonable, and objective, although others may see them as rigid, dogmatic, and overly critical. Ones believe that if they discipline themselves sufficiently, they can avoid making mistakes. Being human, however, they do make mistakes—obliging them to struggle ever harder to organize and improve everything in their lives. If they see that others do not share their idealism, Ones increasingly become unable to control their anger about having to do everything themselves. If Ones continue pushing themselves toward “perfection,” the repressed parts of their psyches explode, leaving them enraged and irrational.
ONES CAN ESCAPE THEIR EGO CAGE by acknowledging and releasing their unrealistic expectations of themselves and others. They begin to understand that the standards by which they judge the world are not absolute truths. As Ones recognize the subjective quality of many of their positions, they begin to respect the beliefs and values of others. Without the constraints of perfectionism, their vision opens to a reality more mysterious and more perfect than they could ever have conceived.

PERSONALITY TYPE TWO: The Caring, Nurturing Type
TWOS TRY TO ESCAPE their fear of being unloved by constantly doing things for others. They see themselves as thoughtful, well-meaning, and generous, although others may sometimes see them as intrusive and self-deceptive. To get others to love them, Twos believe that they must always be selfless and virtuous, so they sacrifice their own needs and desires for the good of others. If others still do not give Twos the love they want, their disappointment and anger must also be denied and repressed. Thus, Twos become caught between feeling love and feeling rage. Over time, suppressing their negative feelings takes its toll on their health and relationships and they might lash out at the very people whose love they so desperately want.
TWOS CAN ESCAPE THEIR EGO CAGE by acknowledging and releasing their ulterior motives and negative feelings toward others. The more honest they are about themselves, the more emotionally balanced they become. By recognizing and accepting all the different parts of themselves, even the negative ones, Twos undo the contradictions that have blocked them from being close to others. They can then become the genuinely loving, nurturing people they have always wanted to be. Their goodness is so real and selfless that they cannot help but attract others who love them deeply.

PERSONALITY TYPE THREE: The Success-Oriented, Pragmatic Type
THREES TRY TO ESCAPE from their fear of being rejected by seeking the affirmation of others through personal excellence. They see themselves as competent and worthwhile, although to others, they may seem attention-seeking and arrogant. If Threes sense that others are not responding to them, they begin to project an image that they believe will be more desirable. Thus, Threes disown their true self piece by piece and invest their energy in the roles they play until they lose touch with their feelings and any sense of who they really are. Terrified that someone will see through their facade to the growing emptiness inside, they may betray themselves and others to save their image.
THREES CAN ESCAPE THEIR EGO CAGE by acknowledging and releasing their desire for attention and admiration. They see that their ceaseless search for applause alienates them from themselves and leads them away from deeper values. As they dare to give up their masks, they discover that they are not empty; they have many long-buried feelings and selfless impulses. And, by pursuing values and relationships that truly nourish their spirit, they discover that the authentic self they have so long concealed is more admirable than any image they could project.

PERSONALITY TYPE FOUR: The Sensitive, Withdrawn Type
FOURS TRY TO ESCAPE from their fear of being flawed and defective by throwing themselves into their feelings. They see themselves as sensitive and intuitive, while others may see them as overly touchy and too ruled by their feelings. Fours believe that they will find a solution to their emotional turmoil by endlessly replaying their problems in their imaginations. As they go around and around, they stir up powerful emotional crosscurrents that draw them further inward until they lose all perspective on themselves, undermining their ability to deal effectively with life. In time, their emotional conflicts and difficulties might fan the flames of their self-doubt and self-hatred, and they withdraw into a darkening world of torment and despair.
FOURS CAN ESCAPE THEIR EGO CAGE by acknowledging and releasing their strong attachments to their feelings. As they do so, Fours learn that their feelings do not die, as they had feared, but that other capacities and talents become available and can be acted on. The more they interact with reality, the richer their emotional life becomes. No longer the prisoners of every shifting mood, they find that their practical accomplishments grow. Fours thus discover that they are not only intuitive and creative, but also capable and strong.

PERSONALITY TYPE FIVE: The Intellectual, Analytic Type
FIVES TRY TO ESCAPE from their fear of being overwhelmed and powerless by focusing on specific areas of life which they feel they can master. They see themselves as intelligent and profound, although others may see them as too intense and strangely detached. As Fives become convinced that they cannot cope with people or with practical life, they retreat into private mental worlds. They seek sanctuary in their minds while watching the outside world with growing anxiety. Eventually, their fears taint their thoughts so much that Fives feel they must cut off their connections with the world to protect themselves from their terrors. With nothing to hold on to or believe in, they might ultimately shrink away into a self-created prison of isolation and hopelessness.
FIVES CAN ESCAPE THEIR EGO CAGE by acknowledging and releasing their fears of being powerless and overwhelmed by the outside world. By disengaging from their overheated mental associations, Fives discover that in the present moment, they can indeed be safe and at ease in the environment.

As they leave their shell, Fives realize not only that there is a place for them in the world, but that they are capable of enjoying and mastering life.

PERSONALITY TYPE SIX: The Committed, Traditionalistic Type
SIXES TRY TO ESCAPE from their fear of being abandoned by allying themselves with others. They see themselves as trustworthy and reliable, although others may see them as defensive and insecure. They want to feel that they belong somewhere, so they look to others to provide security and show them what to do. The problem is that Sixes are also anxious about depending on others. They are thus caught between needing the security of an authority and wanting to prove their independence. Sixes may try to solve their anxiety with outbursts of misdirected aggression against those around them. When their outbursts drive away supporters and protectors, Sixes might become all the more anxious and depressed.
SIXES CAN ESCAPE THEIR EGO CAGE by acknowledging and releasing their feelings of dependency. By learning to centre themselves and trust their own capacities, they find a stable place within themselves. They learn that they can believe in themselves, and that they do not need to depend on others to “save” them. They stop relinquishing their authority to others and take constructive actions for their own welfare. When Sixes dare to pursue their own values and beliefs, they begin to discover the real courage and security they have always sought.

PERSONALITY TYPE SEVEN: The Hyperactive, Uninhibited Type
SEVENS TRY TO ESCAPE from their fear of being deprived by immersing themselves in constant activity. They see themselves as practical and fun-loving, although others may see them as superficial and infantile. Sevens fear that if they run out of stimulation—of things to have and do—something terrible will happen, so they stay busy and on the go. They spread themselves too thin, however, using up their resources, while constantly distracting themselves with even more experiences. Eventually, the strain causes their health and emotional stability to collapse, and Sevens are left exhausted and in panic.
SEVENS CAN ESCAPE THEIR EGO CAGE by acknowledging and releasing their attachment to being stimulated all the time. When they slow down, they discover that many of their activities do not actually satisfy them. And, as they let go of their feeling that they must be constantly having new experiences, they learn to stay with each experience long enough to assimilate it. Sevens finally realize that no experience or thing in the external world can ultimately keep them satisfied or free from anxiety, but if they search within themselves, they will find a stillness and serenity which is a dependable source of undiminished joy.

PERSONALITY TYPE EIGHT: The Powerful, Dominating Type
EIGHTS TRY TO ESCAPE from their fear of being in the power or control of others by maintaining a stance of strength and toughness. They see themselves as strong and independent, although others may see them as belligerent and dictatorial. In their effort to suppress their fear and vulnerability, Eights begin to see all relationships as power struggles and all intimacy as weakness. They steel themselves against depending on others, and seek more power so that no one can take advantage of them. If they continue hardening themselves, they eventually lose the capacity to feel anything for others—love, trust, or pity. Eights ultimately become abusive to get their way and remain in control, causing everyone who has been abused by them to turn against them.
EIGHTS CAN ESCAPE THEIR EGO CAGE by acknowledging and releasing their fear of intimacy. As they do so, they begin to drop their guard and discover that real love and friendship will not threaten them. They find that the more they trust and care for others, the more others willingly support them and help them attain their goals. By allowing others to be close to them, Eights are able to create a world of cooperation and mutual fulfilment rather than one of conflict and mutual destruction.

PERSONALITY TYPE NINE: The Easygoing, Phlegmatic Type
NINES TRY TO ESCAPE their fear of separation by creating an “environment” that will nurture them. They see themselves as undemanding, uncomplicated people, although others may feel that they are complacent and neglectful. Nines believe that everything should always be peaceful and harmonious. They begin to create problems, however, because they refuse to look at anything that contradicts their idealized world view, hoping for the best while ignoring difficulties until others are forced to solve them. Eventually, others become frustrated and angry with them, causing Nines to retreat into a psychic inner sanctum where nothing can touch or hurt them. They might eventually turn their backs on reality and drift into a state of apathy and helplessness.
NINES CAN ESCAPE THEIR EGO CAGE by acknowledging and releasing their idealizations of the world and others. As they do so, Nines see their loved ones more objectively and realize that others’ lives are not inherently more important than their own. This frees Nines to see their own value and gives them the energy to become actively engaged with life. By investing in their own development, and participating fully in their world, Nines find the contentment they have always sought.
