I find I spend too much time making lists of goals and action plans to become the person I want to be and waiting for the right time to implicate them, then realize the goal isn't as important as something else, or feeling overwhelm and relying on a bad habit like drinking, day dreaming, more goal planning, self absorbed research, mindless tv, walking, obsessive over analyzing, or whatever to calm down the stress.

Once the stress goes away, I feel refreshed and renewed and inspired to write some goals down...this has been going on for Y E A R S, and though I have always known about Jung and MBTI and found much insight in them it is only recently I realized I may not have a healthy balance, and have been wasting much of my life stuck on this terrible doomed loop of highs and hope and lows and hopelessness, escape with instant gratification or obsessive introversion, calm then repeat. I do it in nearly every aspect of my life and it has been going on for so long it feels overwhelmingly impossible to fix..where to start?

I would like to hear how other INFJs have succeeded in beating their bad habits as maybe it would be more useful than the generic advice I have spent years leaning on (and falling flat on my face when it buckled)

That's kind of a broad topic. I'm an ENTP. I can think of 10,000 possible patterns/outcomes, get overwhelmed by them, then decide not to decide (right now). Procrastination.

Currently I am reading a book called Psycho Cibernetics, if I ever finish it, that encourages living in the now so as to not waste time getting anxious/regretting possibilities and to help stay organized. Hah.

I hold out no hope of a real cure.
