I think we IN*Ps all have a challenge with getting out of our head and into motion to experience new ideas, environments and people. It’s so very easy to cancel out that excitement of exploration that using the 6th almost hijacks any canceling out that we do to ourselves. We fantasize about something we want and therefore it creates greater incentive to get moving. I’m glad the episode helped!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this insightful podcast. As an INFP I recognize the loop: trying to figure out what is normal and how to adapt. And especially the state of hopelessness that comes from having used all one’s imaginative resources to create a wonderful future vision and then realizing ( coming back to earth) that I do not know how to connect to people and the world in this way( that is without doing my homework on them). So I start again to try to find realistic possibities to latch onto instead of trusting my own future vision.
This episode made me realise how hard it actually is to really take a break from the constant murmur ( is that a word in English?) that tells me: the world is not going to be nice to me, or to dreams in general. I can find endless variations of this concept , be creative in expressing that thought, and delude myself into thinking that I have been on an imaginative spree, but I have only repeated my fears.
It is strange to think that extraverted intuition is not my driver or co-pilot, because anything with the word ‘in’ in it seems so much as me. What I got from this episode is that to use my sixth function is very much about trusting something new. It is funny that with Exploration in my personality description, I still need the guts to explore new territory. Thank you for pointing me in that direction!
Very helpful practical hack.. now just finding two people who will do brainstorm sessions with me. I definitely gained some sight into my willingness to live without thought about what is going on behind the curtain and its cost.. Looking forward to getting better at seeing the rewards of being more balanced in this way. Thank you! Great podcast
