14 Home Essentials For Every INFJ
Cultivating a Space That Nourishes Your INFJ Spirit
In this post we explore how to create a haven that caters to your unique needs as an INFJ. A space that's:
Peaceful and restorative to combat sensory overload.
Creative and inspiring to fuel your introspective nature.
Functional and streamlined to minimize daily hassles.
How To Find A Shaman
Shamanic healing is a method of spiritual medicine that predates psychology and modern religions.
In the Shaman’s worldview; depression, chronic illness or terrible luck might be due to lost power. Dissociation, PTSD, immune problems and addictions might be due to soul loss from a traumatic event. Or there might be spiritual blockages causing illness which need to be extracted and removed.
A Letter To The Women
All the best women I know are single.
They're smart, caring, strong, bold, beautiful, funny, successful, and alone. It's not for lack of trying- they have spent buckets of money and even more time working to be the best possible version of themselves and the best possible partner they can be. These women are better men than the men I know. And the only thing they're doing wrong is that they're doing everything right.
How To Tame Your Dragons: An Epic Life Beyond Fear
Once you stop seeing yourself as a victim of your circumstances and instead an active participant in your own suffering, you change the game. Only after we see and accept these dragons and grow conscious of our toxic choices can we integrate them and become more unapologetically whole.
Secret Weapons For Wounded Healers
In my blog post, How To Be A Shaman, I mentioned that Shamans know how to work with all different kinds of people. Those who think with their heart, their gut, or their head.
The question has been stirring in me since; how do you work with people who think differently from you?
Reading To Awaken
As a kid, my Mom used to take us on trips to the library and let us pick out books. I loved those trips to the library, but I hated reading for school. I have always had a deep hatred for authority and the task of having to read killed the joy in it for me. Once reading for school became required, reading by choice became a rare occurence. Even once I was done with school, my love of reading never really came back to life.
How To Be A Shaman
I hesitated to write this blog post because I am very aware of the optics. What business does a little American girl like me have in writing about shamanism? I have not gone on any vision quests, I haven’t traveled into the Brazilian rainforest for an ayahuasca ceremony, and I have not been initiated into realms of ancient secrets by any wise old healers.
I have been through trauma that changed the fabric of my reality. In Bowl of Light, the Hawaiian elder Makua says there are 3 ways to achieve transcendence. Sex with someone you love, meditation, and pain and suffering. For some reason, I chose pain and suffering.
8 Magical Ways to Remember Who You Are
If you’ve been following me already, you know I’m a huge fan of MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator), which is an assessment that identifies your personality type out of 16 different possibilities.
Some people are really resistant to these labels, and I can understand not wanting to be put in a box. But personally, I have found MBTI to be extremely helpful in reclaiming my identity.
How To Use A Toxic Relationship As Fuel
Finding my way through the fog of a toxic relationship was like realizing I was in love with a ghost. He wore the mask of a person he could have been, but that person died a long time ago. Mourning the death of someone who is still alive is an anguish that comes for your bones.
The INF Directory
For most of my life, I’ve felt like an alien. That all changed when I started meeting other empathic, highly sensitive people. Interestingly, most of those people are INFJ and INFP personality types. Now, I still feel like an alien, but I have other aliens to talk to who actually understand me.
How To Be More Unicorn
To be more unicorn is to be the best version of yourself. The first step is knowing yourself well. Especially, knowing your strengths and weaknesses.
The Misfit’s Guide To Manifesting
There’s a manifestation technique where you practice thinking, feeling, and believing that you already have the things you want in the present tense. Maybe you’ve tried it. Maybe you’ve tried saying affirmations to yourself. Maybe you’ve prayed your heart out to the universe and in spite of all the visualizing and the praying and the begging with every ounce of desire that you have… nothing happens.
The 4-Hour Workweek for Empaths
I’ve been a fan of the 4-hour workweek (4hww) by Tim Ferriss for a long time. I think that the 4hww is ideal for empaths. Because we are more sensitive than average people, we need a lot more recovery time, and a lot more work-life balance. We need to really cater our lifestyles around having a healthy nervous system. So the less time we work, the more time we can spend on self-care. I don't think a normal work schedule is conducive to the balance we need at all, and I think it’s time for a change. Humans weren’t designed to work 8 hours a day, and that affects us more than anyone.
How To Live A Little Wilder
When I was studying for an animal behavior degree in college, I learned that the healthiest ecosystems on the planet are the ones with the most biodiversity. Scientists have also found that living in biodiverse environments increases our life satisfaction just as much as an increase in income. And while mindset and genetics are responsible for large percentages of our overall happiness, not much focus is placed on environmental factors. I think that’s because we assume the environment is out of our control, but what if it isn’t?
