You’re not here to feel bad (INFP/HSP)

Reclaiming your joy is the ultimate act of rebellion in a world that profits from your anxiety and fear. Hello dear soul, and welcome back to the Lightbearer’s Library. If you are a highly sensitive person (HSP) or INFP feeling drained by the constant "brainwashing" of negativity, this journal entry is your guide to spiraling upward. I’ve spent the last few days moving through my own heavy emotions, particularly around the grief of a changing relationship with my mom. But even in those moments, I’m reminded of a simple yet powerful lesson: harness the good, and block the bad. Together, let’s explore how to: - Become aware of the "psychological operations" that pull us into a downward spiral. - Protect our energy by "blocking the bad" in our feeds, environments and relationships. - Harness the good by focusing on gratitude and enthusiasm for life. - Reclaim our natural state of joy as a form of rebellion. 🕊️ Being happy isn’t always easy for sensitive souls, but it is one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves and the tribe around us. Let’s start spiraling upward together! ✨ What is one "bad" thing you’re choosing to block this week to protect your peace? Share it below!

Finding stillness in a shifting world (INFP/HSP)

Discover how to anchor your sensitive soul through internal goals and a clear future vision to escape the disorienting "shifting sand" of today’s world. Hello dear soul and welcome back to the Lightbearer's Library. If you feel discombobulated by the rapid pace of change in technology and politics, you are not alone. In this journal entry, I explore how we can find stability by shifting our focus from external chaos to what is truly within our control. So instead of setting “outer goals” that require relative stability, we set "inner goals". This could look like mastering emotional equanimity or creative goals like writing. For INFPs and HSPs, having a clear vision for the future is vital. It helps us to pull our minds back from anxiety and stay focused on a purposeful path. We can plant seeds for a future that feels stable and bright inside, no matter what is happening outside. ✨ What is one internal goal or vision you are currently aiming at? I’d love to hear from you!

Your mind is a playlist. Overwrite the self-doubt tracks (INFP/INFJ)

Have you noticed your mind has negative tracks it likes to play over and over again? It’s time to overcome self-doubt and anxiety by treating our minds like an old-school mixtape or a modern playlist. Then we can consciously overwrite those negative thoughts with new, empowering songs! Hello dear soul, and welcome back to the Lightbearer's Library. If, like me, you’ve been caught in a loop of “I’m not enough” or “I’m not ready,” you are likely playing an old, scratchy mental mixtape of inherited lies. As INFPs or INFJs, these subtle background stories can trigger deep anxiety and make us feel small and uncertain. In this journal entry, I explore how to reclaim our agency and realize that we deserve better stories. We can use journaling to identify these "s****y tracks," and begin the process of replacing them with more meaningful narratives. I share my own journey with self-doubt as a creator and how your lovely comments keep me grounded in my purpose. Whether you are an introvert struggling with visibility or a creative facing a block, it’s time to be brave and record a new song of self-trust. ✨ I would love to hear from you!

Our inner idealist causes suffering (INFP/INFJ)

Our beautiful idealist nature, as an INFP (or INFJ) soul, can actually be the source of our deepest suffering. Hello dear soul, and welcome to the Lightbearer's Library. As sensitive souls, we experience pain (loss, rejection, exhaustion) deeply. However, the intense emotional burden we feel comes not from the pain itself, but from our internal resistance to reality—the clash with our ideals. We idealists often fight against “what is,” which only serves to multiply our discomfort. This journal entry breaks down the simple equation Pain x Resistance = Suffering, showing you exactly where your control lies. We can't control the painful events, but we can learn the practice of acceptance to reduce the resistance variable. When we bravely choose not to let the negative thoughts spiral downwards, we start to master our inner world. And in this way we can hopefully spiral upwards towards more peace, happiness, and health! ✨ If, like me, you felt like this equation was a mini revelation, let me know in the comments! Where in your own life can you reduce your resistance to a painful situation,thus reducing your suffering? Next ▶️ If you find yourself frequently caught in a spiral of negative thoughts, this journal entry will help your nervous system with a gentle method for meltdown recovery: Meltdown recovery for sensitive souls (INFP/HSP) (https://youtu.be/73OU_43NG0I) XOXO, Kate Harmony 📖 Journal Notes 0:00 The simple equation to reduce suffering to zero 0:40 Pain: inevitable in this life 1:30 Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and pain 2:08 Resistance: the variable we control 3:31 How the INFP/INFJ idealist mind creates intense resistance 4:18 Pain times zero resistance equals zero suffering 5:23 The practice of awareness and gentle acceptance 7:33 Acceptance is not approval of the pain, it's choosing not to spiral 8:17 The brave choice to stop the downward spiral 9:20 Diminishing our suffering is the incentive to practice #emotionalresistance #infp #hsp #infj #highlysensitiveperson #mindsetmastery #anxietyrelief #selfacceptance #emotionalhealing #personalgrowth #introvert #idealist #lightbearerslibrary #journaling 🌿 About Kate Harmony 🌿 My main channel (Hack Music Theory) has over 250K subscribers and 10 million views.

Life force protection for sensitive souls (INFP/HSP)

Hello, dear soul, are you Feeling Drained? You’re not alone. For highly sensitive people (HSPs) and INFPs, emotional overwhelm is a severe drain on our life force. But what if one simple, mindful practice could stop the downward spiral before it even begins? In this journal entry, I share the how an insignificant incident (involving a washing machine!) triggered an intense meltdown that depleted my energy and took me two days to recover from. I realized that my feeling drained is directly tied to a lack of thought management. The practice I’m implementing to protect my life force is all about mindfulness: being able to catch the anxious, negative thoughts before they turn into a full spiral. We don’t have to get pulled under. Instead, we can choose peacefulness and reframe stressful moments as opportunities for growth. ✨ Protecting your life force is possible. Have you noticed this pattern of a small incident leading to a big energy drain? I would love to hear from you! What do you do to stop yourself from spiraling downward?

The problem of politeness for empaths (INFP/INFJ)

Being an empath is a gift, but sometimes being too polite can make it genuinely harder to set the boundaries we need. This journal entry explores why empaths, like INFPs and INFJs, may find it challenging to set boundaries. Dear soul, do you struggle with feeling deeply sensitive, seeing every perspective, and giving everyone an "out" before protecting yourself? I share a recent situation with noise disrupting our living, working, and sleeping. It’s challenging my British INFJ husband and I to figure out how to set up boundaries with our landlord. I explore the cultural differences in politeness and directness, and discuss how being "too polite" can sometimes lead to overextending ourselves or being taken advantage of. Discover the gentle yet powerful first step to setting an effective boundary. If you’re also navigating setting up boundaries, I hope this journal entry helps you to feel not so alone! ✨ I would love to hear from you!

Calm yourself, calm the world (HSP/INFP)

If you’re feeling the collective stress and emotional reactivity of the world right now, know this: you are not alone, dear soul, and you have the power to create inner calm. I've been feeling a lot of tense energy lately. I was reminded today that not all the overwhelm we feel is ours. The intense energy of those around us affects sensitive souls (empath and HSP). In this journal entry, I share why it's so important to recognize that we're all connected and how our energetic stability impacts the world. We need to be aware of our own emotions and energy to catch reactivity before it bubbles over into unintended words or actions. Take a time out to find that peace and calm space within you. It's the only true way to help the world, because by finding that healing and centeredness in ourselves, we help balance the collective emotional tension around us. ✨ I would love to hear how you are finding that calm space within yourself right now.
