For some reason, I am a preferred healer at my metaphysical church. All I claim to do is wave my arms and hands to distract my ego and let the energy through. At the end, while my mind is not at overthinking mode, I let snippets of blessing or advice come through me. I'm often amazed at something seemingly off-hand to me is highly significant to the person in front of me.
Thanks so much Lauren for this excellent video!! Gosh, please someone tell me this happens to you too! Usually in the height of a very toxic relationship, towards the middle to end of it, my intuition starts to scream at me (it was probably whispering loudly, but in fight/flight, I'm not sure I can hear it- make sense?). So, I will suddenly get crystal clear messages - "go look at ......." or just a huge clear moment "explaining" what's been going on, accompanied by my body actually shaking/trembling and getting really cold. It's the most bizarre thing - but each time it has happened, there was definitely a lot revealed. ...mainly by me discovering it - needing some sort of proof that maybe I haven't been wrong. Most of the time, I pray to NOT be right because then you have to do something about it.....and then I kick myself for trusting people. Asking someone to tell you the truth doesn't always work if they are a Narc for example and lying just comes naturally to them. This only started occurring about 10 or so years ago. It's like my system has had enough of me ignoring the "signs, signals, messages, etc" and it's pulling out the big artillery by making my body shake, shiver and then my brain starts to almost go into a shutdown mode - it's like a Fembot from Austin Powers- everything starts to short circuit. I tried explaining this to my therapist and she didn't even react - I don't see her anymore, I got the impression that she wasn't "the one" for me. She was baffled by the "messages" that I told her I get when in the throws of something really toxic.
Oh my gosh.....I'm always stuck in the overthinking loop 😭, I've tried so many things to stop but I haven't tried to just stop and ask myself how I feel, lol, I'll definitely be trying it. Thank you. 😊
You got 1 thing wrong there Lauren, you said "What do I feel?", that makes a person think about what they are feeling - which is still confused. The question that should be asked is "What do I normally do to de-stress and relax?", that type of question refers to the past and techniques that we know of, so we don't overthink. Here are some tips :- 1: Close your eyes, count to 10 and breathe deep and even. It helps you become centred. 2: Take a walk in an area with trees and a possible stream. The solitude can help clear your mind. 3: Go to a shoreline (if near the sea) or a stream, where there is flowing water, Nature is calming. 4: Have a soak in a bath or hot pool. Just let the body relax and your mind will follow. 5: Listen to your favourite music. Comforting music of any genre is a security feature to us. Us INFJ's are known as Lie Detectors, that it so true, but you need to be able to practise from time to time, when we can understand the feelings we perceive from other people and be able to categorize them (lie, truth, anger, sadness, anxiety and concern), then we can filter out all other feelings from other people, you will be shocked to find out what an upgrade feels like. There are 2 words that I use to keep me on the straight and narrow, to keep my spirituality/intuition as strong as possible, the words are Stay True.
I like this method👍 It's nice and simple. I'll try to become aware of my feelings so I can stop overthinking about unnecessary stuff. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for this, Lauren. I'm definitely an overthinking loop person. In counselling, the therapist said "You've talked about lots of symptoms, but you've not mentioned feelings once". Is there anything that helps get into the body & out of the head? I'm wondering if exercise, yoga/Pilates, helps?
I'm way to in my mind anymore. I'm vary anxious alot. I'm thinking non stop. I keep getting in loops all the time. There as been times where I keep thinking of something. I have just screamed and had a break down. I will try what you said in this. I need to focus more how I'm feeling.
What if I am scared most of the time? I mean, what if my fear is talking instead of my intuition? How do I know the difference between my fear speaking and my intuition?
Hmmm...I would say that INFPs more get sucked into loops of emotion instead of overthinking. When stressed, INFPs can be overtaken by waves of emotion that are utterly overwhelming and cause major indecisiveness. For INFJs, the overthinking is a very logical process, almost devoid of emotion, where they're picking everything apart, almost dissecting things.
@@LaurenSapalaINFJ I think that major cause for indecisiviness of INFP is not the emotion but too many choices, options, plans, possibilities, wishes for a day schedule that can really paralyse an INFP to do finally nothing or delayed, rather than make a wrong choice. I struggle with that almost every single day.
I used my intuition into my 20’s and had the opportunity to play professional baseball, but when Im not playing baseball I have no clue how to tap into my intuition. Btw I just left the grocery store, and it took me 20 min to decide on cheddar cheese, or colby jack. Im being serious. Ugh Im stuck in the overwhelm loop as well🤦🏻♂️ This infj stuff sucks I wish I was just normal🙄

This is so funny. Like I'm doing a reading for myself and ts explains what I was just doing to the point my heart was hurting.
Thank you

Wim Hof breathing is magic !!!

try transcendental meditation

I have a video for exactly that! ua-cam.com/video/pvD16DTtMqw/v-deo.html
Hey Lauren, does this hold true for INFP's?

Been there....still am....and the grocery store is almost too much for my senses...especially the cheese selection. 😀
Is this true for ENTJ's?
Try meditation is the cure of overthinking
blocked or just wrong.
