Starting us off and number 7 is Let go of your unhealthy relationships.
When you hear the words exhausting or unsatisfying, do you think of any specific
relationship in your life? Maybe, it’s a friendship or a romantic relationship. Well,
maybe it’s time to let these relationships go
now. Of course, you can make this change anytime in your life but a new year is a perfect time
for a fresh start. And it’s the perfect opportunity to let unhealthy and toxic people
go. As an INFJ, you’re an introvert, and here’s
the biggest problem for introverts. They often end up becoming targets for toxic or emotionally
needy people. That’s simply because most of the time, introverts give a feeling
of calmness and they’re the people that anyone can come and talk to about their feelings.
They feel safe and of course, they’re great listeners. For introverts, it’s a
big deal when someone tries to make conversation with them and they feel so great about it
and get so close to them that many times, they
end up in unhealthy relationships. Well, if you’re in that situation, it’s
nothing to feel bad about. Many INFJs end up in situations like that. But it’s never
too late for a fresh start. So, use this year to
reflect upon your relationships and let go of the people that are toxic. Instead, focus
on the people that actually make you feel good
about yourself.
Next on our list and number 6 today is Have more random adventures.
As an INFJ, I’m sure you’re always thinking of ways to be productive.
For most INFJs, it gets so bad that they actually feel guilty whenever they have even a little
bit of fun. For them, life has to be a constant hustle otherwise they seem like they’re
wasting time. Sure, that might seem like a strength but too much of anything is too
much. That’s why as an INFJ, you should take a moment and get out of your
shell. Giving yourself a break and having some fun for a while isn’t something to
feel bad about.
The fun doesn’t always have to be working or reading. It doesn’t always have to be
something productive. It’s okay to do silly things, once in a while. It’s okay to let
your crazy kid side out sometimes. It’s okay
to get out of your head sometimes. And that’s something everyone should use
as a new year’s resolution. Try to have some silly
adventures. Life isn’t all about working and being productive. Of course, it’s
an important part but you need to give yourself a break instead of always
being in your head.
The 5th new year's resolution for INFJs is to Put your self-care first.
Again, as an introvert that is always thinking of how to be productive and save the
World, INFJs usually end up focusing on everyone else. They keep focusing on how
they can help everyone else have a good time. Of course, that’s a great quality to have
but very often, INFJs tend to ignore their own mental or physical health because they’re
more focused on other people. For INFJs, one shortcoming is that they always
want things to be perfect. It’s like they either do things perfectly or they don’t
do it at all. Because if they can’t do something perfectly, they feel bad about themselves.
To prevent that, here’s a new year’s resolution that you INFJs need to have. Stop
being so hard on yourself and instead, help yourself feel better. You are
human. Humans aren’t perfect. That’s something INFJs need to remember.
And from there, you can go ahead and start to prioritize your self-care instead of always
prioritizing the outer World. Self-care doesn’t necessarily mean a spa day or buying
yourself something expensive. It can be as simple as taking a bath or going for a walk.
Anything that calms you down. Make time for yourself.

Next up today and number 4 is to Add some more alone time to your schedule.
Just like any other introvert, INFJs need to be alone for a while for them to be
recharged. And sometimes, when they haven’t had any alone time for a while, they end
up exploding. They end up lashing out at people or simply going quiet. That’s why, as an
INFJ, you should make it a new year’s resolution to include some alone time in your regular
routine. Life can get busy for all of us. But again,
as I said, you need to make time for self-care. And for introverts, self-care includes some
alone time. So, always try to take some alone time for yourself. It’s always better
than exploding later on and regretting it. So, use some time to recharge. Use it to build
a relationship with yourself. And most importantly, use it to ponder over your life
and your relationships as well.
Starting our top 3 new years resolutions for INFJs is to Forgive yourself for past mistakes.
You need to remember to let things go. If you’re an INFJ, that won’t sound familiar,
right? Because for an INFJ, letting things go is literally the hardest thing to do. And
letting go of past mistakes is even harder. So, why not use the new year as a fresh start
and finally let your past mistakes go?
Take the new year as a time to reflect upon your past. And no, that doesn’t
mean getting mad at yourself for the mistakes and the embarrassing moments. Instead,
reflect on them and try to learn from them. There’s no better way to improve yourself.
It’s okay. We all make mistakes. We all say the wrong things. We all embarrass
ourselves from time to time. But it doesn’t mean we can never fix them.
Past mistakes are nothing but a weight in your head. So, be kind to yourself, learn
from your mistakes and finally, let them go.
IN the runner-up spot and number 2 today is to Reduce your time on social media.
To be honest, I think any personality type can benefit from this new year’s resolution
but it applies especially for introverts like
INFJs. Here’s the thing. When I say take some
alone time, it doesn’t mean spending time on social media. In fact, social media might
just drain you out even more. Sure, you might think it doesn’t affect your alone time
but then you can see messages you have to reply
to or you can see something someone did that hurts you. And honestly, your alone
time just ends up being even more draining. So, as an INFJ, a great new year’s resolution
would be to go offline for a while. Of course, it doesn’t mean you simply let go
of social media. It just means you take some time off. You take some time for yourself.
When you do this, you’ll start to feel happier and more relaxed. You’ll build a better
connection with yourself and with others around you. And trust me, you’ll thank yourself
for it.
Topping our list and the number 1 best new years resolution for INFJs is to Think more
positive thoughts.
One of the biggest weaknesses of an INFJ is a negative mindset. It’s not something they
want to have but they can’t control it. But of course, you can always start trying
to control it. It’s not something easy but remember, every big change starts from baby
steps. And to start off, you can try to be more grateful. Even if it’s something little,
if it makes you happy, it’s something to be
grateful for. Many INFJs find it helpful to keep a gratitude
journal. I know, it sounds a little mainstream but it actually does help. Even
if you don’t keep a journal, just make a mental
note of everything you’re grateful for. Start doing this when you wake up every day
and trust me, you’ll notice a big drift in your
negative mindset. Remember, it’s never too late to fix your
mistakes and improve your personality. So, take the new year as an opportunity. Go on
and achieve your goals!
