I help geeks and gamers to play life better. As an INFP, I've spent a lot of time trying to understand myself, forcing myself outside of my comfort zone, finding my purpose in life, gaining self-confidence, and learning how to have better relationships. Personality type is one of the main models I use to help clients regain control over their lives, but I also tend to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis as well. Stay awhile and listen!

    why INFPs stop working on the creative projects they love most

    You haven't touched your creative project in days, and the pressure is the reason. Here are 7 ways INFPs can make real progress on it, even on days when you've got nothing. These came out of a recent coaching call in my EVOLVE group (http://evolve.geekpsychology.com), plus a few things that have worked for me and for other INFPs (and one ENFP who's been through the same thing).

    8 things INFPs are quietly good at

    If you've ever been called too quiet, too sensitive, or too in your head, this one is for you. I walk through eight skills I see in INFPs again and again, from reading people to turning feelings into something other people can feel too, plus one small thing you can do with each so you can use it this week. Most of this comes from my coaching sessions, my own life, and Dario Nardi's brain research on personality types.

    Are Your Beliefs Protecting You or Trapping You

    Some beliefs keep you safe. Some keep you stuck. This video shows a simple way to tell which is which, using the metaphors you already use for your beliefs. Take a few minutes to ask yourself what your belief feels like. Then ask what it is protecting, and what it is blocking.

    INFPs feel like they never fully grow up

    Get the free INFP Personality Type tutorial: http://geekpsychology.com/infp?utm_so... Do you feel like you never truly grew up? Let's talk about the INFP personality and finding balance in your life. Many of us feel stuck in that space between being a kid and an adult. We often carry a sense of wonder that the world labels as immature, but there is a distinct difference between being childlike, not childish. It is about keeping your core values and curiosity intact while learning to navigate the responsibilities of adulthood. Understanding this specific INFP behavior helps you stop judging yourself so harshly. When you accept your nature, you can lean into the strengths that make you unique. This is a crucial step in your personal growth, moving away from self-criticism and toward a life that actually fits who you are. Join the community for weekly insights on personality types, and share in the comments: what does being an adult mean to you?

    i stopped being my own drill sergeant as an INFP

    I used to talk to myself like a drill sergeant, and it never once got me to make the thing. This is how I get myself moving as an INFP, using a quest instead of a whip. The word motivation can sound like a boss yelling at you. A lot of us feel we should just be able to do it, so we turn into our own commander and try to whip ourselves into shape. What works better for me is looking for what inspires me. Once I know that, I can take the quest from there. In this video, I cover: Why motivation feels so heavy for many INFPsTwo kinds of inspiration: what you want in your life, and what you'd hate to have in itThe regret question I ask myself when I'm stuckHow to be your own quest giver, with a Why, a What, and a rough HowWhy a big Why can carry you even when you don't know the steps Which one moves you more, something you want or something you'd regret missing? If you feel like sharing, I'd love to read it in the comments. If you'd like a free place to start, here are my 15-Minute Productivity Habits for INFPs: https://geekpsychology.com/infp-produ...

    A big reason INFPs don't finish their creative projects

    Want to work on your project with us? You're welcome to join EVOLVE: https://evolve.geekpsychology.com Free 5-Day INFP Personality Type Tutorial: https://geekpsychology.com/infp Why do so many INFPs stall right before finishing a creative project? It came up in an EVOLVE workshop today, and I want to share what we found. I walk through the G.L.O.W.E.R. Goal-Setting Formula: Goal, Location, Obstacles, Why, Effects, and Resources. Then I show how I look at resistance. I ask the part of you that's holding back what it's trying to do for you. The answer might surprise you. If you've got a book, an art project, a website, or a channel that's been sitting in your head for years, this one's for you. #INFP #CreativeProjects #PersonalityType
