I help geeks and gamers to play life better. As an INFP, I've spent a lot of time trying to understand myself, forcing myself outside of my comfort zone, finding my purpose in life, gaining self-confidence, and learning how to have better relationships. Personality type is one of the main models I use to help clients regain control over their lives, but I also tend to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis as well. Stay awhile and listen!

I used to spend endless hours in my head, overthinking every detail of my creative ideas. Each idea seemed more perfect and exciting than the last, but they never saw the light of day.
As an INFP, I realized that my extraverted intuition made me savor the novelty of ideas, but it also trapped me in a cycle of inaction. I knew I wasn't alone—many of us INFPs see the potential in our ideas but are held back by the fear of imperfection.
I decided that it was time to break free from this cycle. I learned to embrace imperfection and realized that taking action on my ideas creates more opportunities and satisfaction than keeping them locked in my mind. The truth hit me: imperfect action beats perfect inaction every time.
I began setting shorter deadlines for myself, which pushed me to take action and not let my ideas go to waste. If you're facing the same struggles, I urge you to take that first step. Share your creativity with the world, and don't be afraid of it being less than perfect. Every creation is a building block to growth and fulfillment.
