My tips on how to find power in each of the Jungian cognitive functions
Introverted Feeling (Fi) (INFP, ISFP, ENFP, ESFP) —> Find power in vulnerability.
Find power in knowing that no one can hurt you. I mean it. If you accept all the parts you hold within, all the good and the bad, all the light and the dark, there is really no one in this world that can get to you. Understand that you ultimately are the one in control of your inner state. Share your authentic self with others and realize that the only person who can make you feel ‘inadequate’ is yourself. So accept yourself. And all of what doing that takes. Your true power comes out when you allow yourself to be truly vulnerable with others. The more closed-off you are, the less power within you find. So open up your heart and discover how bright you really shine.
Extraverted Feeling (Fe) (ENFJ, ESFJ, INFJ, ISFJ) —> Find power in your own truth.
Find power in sharing your truth with others and knowing that the right people will take it and cherish it with you. Find power in understanding that living your truth is the optimal way for you to be in service of others. Your own truth will ultimately set you free. So put it out there. And watch everything else fall into place. Not only for you but for everyone else around you as well. Not only for everyone else around you but most importantly for yourself as well.
Introverted Thinking (Ti) (INTP, ISTP, ENTP, ESTP) —> Find power in relativity and communication.
Find power in your ability to understand. Find power in the fact that you are not only able to understand your own thought process but also that of everyone else. And that you are able to see how all things in this world work in their own unique way. Find power in the peace that comes with understanding that ultimately there is no truth. In that the only truth you can get in this life is the one you experience. And so does everyone else. So find power in connecting and communicating with others. You sure are pretty darn good at it.
Extraverted Thinking (Te) (ENTJ, ESTJ, INTJ, ISTJ) —> Find power within yourself.
Find power in discovering your own worth. And I mean the one that inherently is always there. At the end of the day, after all is said and done, what’s the one thing that always stays? That’s right, it’s you! So find power in simply knowing that you carry your power always there with you. No matter what you do. No matter how effective you are. No matter what others think. No matter even what you think. You yourself are powerful just because you are. So do whatever the fuck your heart is asking you to. Go follow it. You deserve it. You always deserve it. Remember, no matter what.
Extraverted Sensing (Se) (ESTP, ESFP, ISTP, ISFP) —> Find power in reflection.
Find power in your own experiences. Not only in the fact that you are always ready for adventure and on to the next thing. But that in each and every thing you experience, you are able to gather very powerful insights. Take trust in that you’ve already done and seen a lot. And that, as it seems, you’ll never stop doing so. That’s already very powerful in itself. But you get even more powerful when you not only gather experiences but also the knowledge that comes with them. So take a little moment, reflect and dig deep at all of what you’ve gained. Don’t be surprised if you find treasures inside you hadn’t realized you had.
Introverted Sensing (Si) (ISFJ, ISTJ, ESFJ, ESTJ) —> Find power in your adaptability.
Find power in discovering how adaptable you truly are. Find power in knowing that the mere caution you always take is exactly the same that allows you to go places and go far. Understand that you are always as prepared as you need to be. You’re always ready to tackle each and every situation that comes your way. Realize that the only fear there is, is the one that you create yourself. It is sometimes there for a reason. So come to terms with it. But know that you can always let it go when you choose to. So take your passport and pack your bags. There is a lot out there for you to see.
Extraverted Intuition (Ne) (ENFP, ENTP, INFP, INTP)—> Find power in your own ground.
Find power in the stability within yourself. Take a moment for yourself and sit still. Stay there for a while. I mean it. Really stay there for a good while. Feel each and every part of your body and thank it. Thank it for everything that it allows you to do. Thank it for the mere fact that it allows you to be and keep being. Realize that it is always there with you and that it always will be. You already know that you are a bit of a genius. But has anyone told you how much of an unshakeable rock you are? Take trust in that your roots will always be there and see your branches sky-rocket in a way you’ve never seen them do.
Introverted Intuition (Ni) (INFJ, INTJ, ENFJ, ENTJ) —> Find power in your own power.
Find power in what you’ve found, in the gems inside your mind, in all of that you’ve come to realize. Understand that sometimes you get ahead of all of us because you’re one with a rare ability to travel far. Understand that if you ever share an insight with us that we seem to not really get is because we’re not yet already there. Take pride in that you’re the only one capable of taking us to that place. I bet you’ve been told many times that you are wise. But I’m here to let you know about your impact. So take all of what you’ve got and turn the world upside down. You may come to realize your willpower has got no bounds.
