Geek Psychology: Play Life Better

Matt Shermangeekpsychology.com

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!

Send me a text Thought it was time to share 3 things that made me a better INFP. If you are an INFP, this should speak directly to some of your fears and struggles. If you aren't an INFP, this should still help with a little translation work to your MBTI type, but obviously not as smoothly as just watching the video ;) Apologies for the audio issues. As part of my decision to fight any sneaky perfectionism, I didn't re-record :P I hope (and fully believe) it's still helpful and that in itself is...

Stop Trying to Find Passion And Purpose (Do This Instead)

Send me a text If you're feeling uninspired lately, if you're lacking energy in your life, there's a reason. What if most of the time when you feel tired, you really aren't? When we have a life with no purpose or mission, we tend to feel unmotivated most of the time.
