7 Signs The Infj Is Mentally At Their Prime explores key ideas related to psychology, presented clearly and practically.
where they’re at with their mental state.
Due to their continuously fluctuating mental
health combined with their underlying mental
resilience, sometimes it’s easy for them to
even overlook when they’re feeling their best.

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..
High levels of empathy are extremely common
with INFJs. However, this tendency comes as
a bit of a double-edged sword. While it allows
them to obtain a keen understanding of people
and their feelings on a deeper level, they're
also susceptible to absorbing not only positive,
but negative emotions as well. That danger of
crossed wires and overloaded feelings means a
healthy INFJ will regularly have to check in with
themselves to identify and differentiate their own
emotions to process them accordingly. INFJs must
set both emotional and physical boundaries with
their loved ones to help separate themselves from
the impact of these emotions. While this can take
a number of forms, often it involves putting time
limits on certain conversations or boundaries with
certain connections that they find considerably
draining. From the outside, these kinds of actions
can come across as cold, callous and even a
sign of mental instability. When in reality,
it’s their attempt to resolve the tension these
emotions cause without putting the person down.
Number 2: They make a point of not taking
their evaluations of people and self normally
critiquing. This habit can come with both its
positives and negatives, however, a healthy
INFJ usually holds a rather compassionate view
towards their (personally-defined) shortcomings.
It’s not that their rather serious side dissipates
entirely, but with proper mental stability,
joy in their day-to-day life. They know there's
a time for every emotion— and that includes joy
and happiness. And with proper mental stability,
they’re able to use their intuition accurately,
without the interruption of their overthinking
ways. Plus, since overthinking tends to be the
back and not allowing this overanalyzing to
take over, they’re already a few steps ahead.
It’s fair to say that most INFJs have an innate
desire for harmony both internally and externally,
in all areas of their life. In fact, when
they don’t know any better, they’ll fight
tooth and nail to avoid a pot being stirred.
This can certainly be helpful when they’re
meant to be the mediator of a situation, but
avoidance may not always be the best solution.
Truth be told, unhealthy INFJ will almost always
run from conflict because of how unpleasant it is
for them. This ultimately leads to conflict
building up frustrations or uncommunicated
feelings until facing the conflict isn’t as
calm and collected as they once hoped. In
is mentally at their best is when they deal with
what’s thrown at them with confidence and class.
They’re motivated to find a solution to conflict,
despite it making them incredibly uncomfortable.
People with the INFJ personality type know that
conflicts won’t always resolve the way they hope,
solution can still lead to valuable lessons,
One of the quickest ways to turn an INFJ’s
mental steadiness upside down is to cut them off
or distract them from their sense of purpose. All
INFJs have a natural forward-looking perspective,
and a mentally healthy INFJ is bound to have some
sort of a vision for their future. Often based on
an insight they’ve gained in terms of how the
world could change for the better, the vision
often takes the form of a novel idea they want
to share, a fresh perspective, or even just a new
way of helping others. This vision could lead them
into life-altering actions such as writing a book,
starting a business, starting a family, or
volunteering in an organization they’re passionate
about. While all INFJ visions look different from
one another, there's always a common denominator
of a deeper purpose inside them that they
can’t help but build towards and fulfill.
Sure, they’re future projections may be a little
idealistic, but they can envision these ideals
Future envisions are great and all, but for
the INFJ, the biggest challenge they face is
being happy with where they’re currently at in
life. The mentally fit INFJ is going to remind
themselves that their journey through life is
about becoming and not arriving - they focus on
the journey rather than the destination. They
overcome roadblocks, traffic jams, and detours
their intuition and the people around them.
This also involves what they perceive as mistakes
or failures on their part, or on that of others.
As a healthy INFJ, they very well may look forward
to becoming the ideal version of themselves,
but at the same time they wouldn’t consider
themselves a failure every moment prior to
attaining that golden standard. This usually
comes not only in the form of contentment,
which can be rather difficult for the INFJ to
naturally feel, but also intentional gratitude.
Number 6: They can acknowledge and celebrate
their achievements they’ve already reached
Similar to the INFJ’s ability to be content with
where they’re currently at in life, another key
sign of proper mental stability in an INFJ is
their ability to reflect on and celebrate their
past wins and milestones. Having an idealistic
and future-focused nature often leads the INFJ to
keep that focus entirely on the next thing. It’s
tempting for them to repetitively question ‘what’s
next?’ And while this continuous self-evaluation
can give INFJs a sense of motivation and drive, it
also can make it difficult for them to recognize
everything that they've already accomplished.
It comes to a point where nothing they do is
good enough to please their self-critical ways.
This attitude is ultimately self-defeating
particularly because they tend to have such
lofty goals. In fact, if an INFJ hasn’t yet
learned the value of focusing on the process
towards their goals, you may very well find
frequent periods of manic goal-completion.
In contrast, a healthy INFJ makes a point of
pausing to reflect not just on where they’re
They’ll celebrate those things and reflect
Positively, they eventually realize that by
choosing to track their accomplishments, they’ll
actually find that it fuels their journey.
Due to their introverted intuition and extroverted
feeling functions, INFJs can’t help but to focus
on others. With an endless effort of trying to
find ways of helping the people around them,
This helping instinct is often a motivating factor
for both their personal and professional lives, so
if they don’t know how to take care of themselves,
they can quickly work themselves to burnout.
A healthy INFJ in this instance, won’t just show
this caring for others - they’ll also reserve some
of that same care and concern for themselves. They
know that in order to continue caring for others
to the best of their ability, they must also take
the necessary time for recharging themselves.
This dedicated time for self care looks different
for every INFJ, but the benefits remain the same.
Whether it’s taking a few deep breaths throughout
the day, actively planning some time for solitude,
