Gratitude Affirmations for the Body


Our bodies do so much for us from digesting food, to solving complex problems, to getting us from here to there yet how often do we acknowledge the work they do for us?  How would you feel if you did all that work with no appreciation for your efforts?  Here are a few affirmations that I have used to help me reconnect with my body and give it the recognition and respect it deserves.
  • I listen to my body.
  • My body is important to me.
  • I give my body what it needs.
  • I am grateful for my body.
  •  I love and respect my body.
  • I treat my body with kindness.
  • My body tells me what it needs.
  • My body has limits.
  •  I ask my body what it needs.
  • I put my body’s needs first in my life.
  • I am learning to spend more time with my body.
  • My body’s needs are important.
  • I respect my body’s limits.
  • I take care of my body.
  • My body is my friend.

Distribution of Myers-Briggs Types for 3 Careers

If you’re an INFJ, you probably have wondered where other INFJs work.   I got my degree and have worked in dietetics but have also considered other careers.   I compared the distribution of the Myers-Briggs types for dietitians, librarians, and music education majors.   I hope you find this as interesting as I did. Below the types are listed as the percentage of the total.   The top 6 Myers-Briggs types for each career are highlighted with red (first), orange (second), yellow (third), green (fourth), blue (fifth), and purple (sixth).   The predominant preference for extroversion or introversion in the career are highlighted in pink.

Personal Boundaries Self-Evaluation

If you play a sport, you know the rules and when you have broken them.   But do you know what your own personal rules or boundaries are?   When you are self-aware and are able to communicate this to others, it allows others to know what you expect from them and it shows respect for yourself. Physical Boundaries 1.       Clothing: How much of your body do you allow others to see? 2.       Personal space: How much space do you need between yourself and others? 3.       Sounds: How loud of sound will you tolerate?   Do you let others shout at you?   Is it acceptable for others to swear in your presence?   What types of music will you listen to? 4.       Housing: If a door is closed, do you expect someone to knock before entering?   Who do you allow in your home, when, and for how long?   How clean or cluttered do you expect your home to be? ...

Why Running is an Ideal Sport for INFJs

No Social Pressure Running is a solitary event.   The closest thing to socially interacting with other athletes is running beside them or cheering for them on the sidelines.   Many INFJs like myself struggle with social anxiety.   When I was in school, running was a way for me to be social but without the pressure to carry on conversations. No Balls INFJs tend to not be a quick-reacting personality type so sports that require throwing, catching, hitting, or kicking balls will be more challenging for them. Time to Think INFJs are introverts and that means they prefer to spend more time in their head rather than interacting with others.   Training allows them to do that. Builds Confidence Running requires consistent effort and many hours of training to improve your fitness and pace.   Not everyone is willing to do this so your confidence can improve when you see the results of your perseverance.
