This is me

I few years ago I took the Meyers Briggs personality test and discovered I'm an INFJ. That stands for introverted intuitive feeling judging. I took this before I became a mommy. I was curious if it had changed at all. For the most part it didn't change. I'm a little more relaxed than I used to be but not as much as I wish I was. That perfectionist tendency still comes out occasionally. I'm sure a second child  would cause me to have to relax much more, but I'm not quite ready for #2! I have my hands full with #1! If you've never taken this little test you should! It's surprisingly accurate!

Idealist
Doer
Dreamer
Vision
Practicality
Concerned about relationships/humanity
Takes disproportionate amount of responsibility
Will suddenly withdraw into self
Gentle
Caring
Complex
Intuitive
Artistic
Creative
Lives in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities
Orderly
Private, difficult to understand
Ignores others opinions
Perfectionist
Believes in constant growth
Sensitive

Some of these are positive and some aren't. They are all still true to some degree. I feel that motherhood can be lonely, but then I think maybe it's my personality that causes this. I've decided this week to step out of my comfort zone for my sake and my daughters sake. I've planned outings for she and I for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. This is a huge deal for me. I'm much more comfortable just staying home all day until I go to work in the afternoon. My daughter deserves better. I have no idea how these outings are going to go but I'm hoping for the best!

  1. I am an ISFJ and share many of the same qualities you listed! I also struggle with getting out of the house with Gemma and being super stressed out while we are away from home. I wish we were closer because we could have play dates together!
