are rarely easy, and for an INFJ it can feel even
more difficult. However, INFJs have to think of it
this way.. Would they rather set the necessary
boundaries from the start and avoid any negative
feelings down the line, or wait until it all
becomes too much resulting in a complete shut out
of all social interaction? INFJs must think of
their mental health and overall well being when
they’re in the decision making process of
taking on another commitment. If not, the
perfectionist in the INFJ will surely take over
regardless of how overburdened they’re feeling.
This caring personality type needs to understand
that it’s not selfish, lazy or mean to set
boundaries around their precious time and energy.
The act of doing something creative is much
more beneficial for an INFJ than simply to have
fun. INFJs actually require creative downtime in
order to actively remove themselves from their
whirling thoughts and allow them to use their
complex thinking skills for something tangible.
Whether it be dancing, writing, singing, playing
an instrument or anything else that encourages a
creative thinking flow. Because this personality
type is always eager to get to their next task,
having a creative outlet makes it easier for an
INFJ to enjoy relaxation without getting bored
or feeling unproductive. Plus, when an INFJ is
being creative with something that they are not
you’re on the fast track to INFJ burnout healing.
Nature brings an INFJ a lot of the same benefits
as having a creative outlet would bring because
there are no expectations in nature - all that is
expected is for people to enjoy it’s company.
The solitude and calmness that nature brings
allows an INFJ to explore their thoughts while
their sensing remains busy, meaning a simple
walk in the forest or swim in the lake is a
win-win for both an INFJs introverted intuition
and their extroverted sensing. INFJs can feel a
deep sense of clarity and disconnection from their
commitments when they incorporate nature into
their lives in some way each day. In fact, just 30
minutes in nature per day can do wonders for the
INFJ, and really everyone else for that matter.
have a tendency to bottle up your emotions to
avoid feeling vulnerable or burdening others,
but we’re here to tell you to crack that bottle
open! Bottled emotions really don’t help anyone
in the long run, because as humans, we are made
to feel and release the emotions we experience..
It’s all part of the growth process. In fact,
bottling emotions is 1 habit that will surely
send you down a burnout lane if you don’t act upon
it. For an INFJ, it helps tremendously to have at
least 1 trusted and non-judgmental source where
they can genuinely talk about their feelings and
emotions. It’s not that they need reassurance or
advice necessarily, rather someone to just listen,
just as an INFJ does so well for other people.
Number 5: Right out all of your commitments
Sometimes INFJs can underestimate how many
commitments they really have on hand at all
times. And when you underestimate the amount of
commitments you’ve agreed to, it’s easy to blindly
take on a few more here and there without really
thinking about it.. Aka, the perfect formula for
INFJ burnout. For an INFJ who plans so much of
their lives in their heads, it helps to take some
of those thoughts and commitments onto paper to
get a better understanding of where their time is
really going. It’s best to write this commitment
list as detailed as possible, right down to the
commitments they’ve made to their friends
and family. By the end of writing the list,
the INFJ will not only realize how many people
in their lives they are committed to helping
in some way, but it also shows when and where
they can schedule in some much deserved “me” time.
back.. ‘Me’ time is NOT ‘free’ time. It’s
but it’s a whole nother achievement to actually
follow through with avoiding using that time to
fill in last minute priorities and commitments.
Scheduled time for self care is just as important,
if not more important than everything else
on that commitment list, because afterall
you can’t pour from an empty cup. Therefore,
INFJs must prioritize doing nothing for no one
but themselves. Silence and solitude are amazing
tools for INFJ to be able to effectively destress
and shake the self-deprecating thoughts that
have accumulated through their ongoing projects.
Number 7: Pay attention to your physical needs
Most INFJs can be considered highly sensitive
people. And not only do INFJs have heightened
senses, making it more intense to experience loud
noises, large groups of people, harsh smells,
bright lights, and so on.. But they also tend to
be very sensitive to things like lack of sleep,
hunger and stimulants like caffeine. While some
personality types can sleep a couple hours and
then work a full day, or skip a meal and feel
only slightly hungry - INFJs feel intense effects
when their physical bodies are out of whack.
Luckily, most of the time, INFJs will feel when
they’re reaching a burnout because of the intense
lack of physical and mental energy - and that’s
when they should start questioning how their
lifestyle is affecting their physical selves.
So, INFJs, aways check in with yourself for
water intake, when you’ve had your last meal,
how many hours of sleep you're getting per night,
and even how much exercise you're getting in.
Just as a commitment list can make it easier to
notice how much an INFJ really has on their plate,
an accomplishment list can make it easier
rolls into the next, without giving us the
exhaustingly high standards for themselves,
this solution to INFJ burnout is one that really
shouldn’t be overlooked. And while it’s not a
total solution without the addition of some of
the other points mentioned in today’s video,
seeing all of their accomplishments on paper
allows an INFJ to more easily take a step down
from their overworking mindset and realize
that everything will get done eventually.
We said it.. It’s vacation time! Everyone needs
a little R & R, and INFJs are one of the most
deserving of it. When they’ve been grinding
constantly absorbing the energies around them,
attending social events that they didn't really
want to go to in the first place, and being the
counsellor for all their friends and family, a
week-long vacation is no longer a want but in fact
a necessity. While the vacation may be spent half
relaxing and half worrying about all the things
they need to do when the week is over - it’s still
extremely beneficial to be able to let their guard
down and enjoy themselves with no expectations.
While walks in nature and creative outlets can
indeed ground an INFJ from their overactive minds,
grounding habits that they know work for them.
Some habits may include daily meditation,
or even simply taking a hot bath every night.
Meditation being one of the grounding tools that
INFJs specifically can benefit from because
of their sometimes uncontrollable thoughts,
as mediation allows them to slowly but surely
learn how to control the flow of their minds
rather than feel controlled by it. Yet, overall,
to have a daily grounding practise can make
have you ever experienced burnout as an INFJ?
