Learning to Balance Our Expectations With Staying Present in the Moment

Introvert Attraction ~ Love, Dating, & Relationships

Today's episode explores why INFJs have difficulty with expectations in our relationships. Our Ni (introverted intuition) naturally looks to the future, and we often have an idealistic vision of how we believe our relationships should be. This can be a strength of INFJs, but it can also lead to us putting unhealthy pressure on ourselves and other people.
It is important that we learn the difference between accepting a situation vs. agreeing with it. Learning to hold two seemingly opposing truths simultaneously is a skill that allows us to accept our circumstances and our relationships, even when they are less than ideal.
When we connect with our Se (extraverted sensing) function we are able to stay present and accept a situation for what it is, even when we don't agree with it. Accepting that we do not have control over other people's beliefs or decisions is actually empowering for us, because we're no longer expending energy over things outside our control.
No matter your situation, please remember to accept where you are in the process without resisting or trying to change it. It is only when we accept ourselves for who we are that we open up space and allow true change to occur.
Next week we'll be talking about navigating break-ups, and how to cope when romantic relationships come to an end. Thank you to everyone for being with me on this journey throughout Season 2!
