ISFJs are extremely generous and devoted individuals who tend to overwork themselves in an effort to meet their family or community’s needs. They often feel selfish when they take time for their own interests, and can get so caught up in taking care of other people that they forget to take care of themselves. Many ISFJs find that one-on-one time with a good friend (a friend who knows how to really listen) is important. Other ISFJs find that time alone in nature refreshes them.
- Cancel non-essential responsibilities and take time for yourself.
- Take a moment to write down a list of your own desires and needs. You can get so caught up in taking care of other people that you forget about your own personal needs.
- Vent out your feelings in a journal or with a trusted friend.
- Laugh. Find a favorite comedy or TV show, curl up with your favorite snack, and let loose.
- Take a walk in nature and notice every beautiful detail. Take pictures of things you find especially beautiful.
- Catch up on rest.
