Ne - Tumblr Posts
Hello! I’m an ENTP, and over the past year or so I’ve noticed my general energy and enthusiasm for life has steadily declined. I tend to get lost overusing my Ne to consider pointless, fictitious scenarios rather than paying attention to what goes on in real life. I would like to regain some degree of passion and have more energy. I realize that with dominant Ne I will always be a bit distracted, but I feel like my lack of energy to do ANYTHING is unusual. Any advice on breaking the funk?
Oh gosh.
This is a problem all the ENXPs I know (myself included) struggle with a lot, but I’m not sure what causes it in each of us rather than inertia and … laziness. See, Ne is the easiest function for you (and the rest of us) to use, which means taking your ideas and making them reality requires lower function interaction… that often involves hard work / analytical skills / follow-through… in other words, thinking functions and inferior Si.
This same inferior Si can cause issues by making you get stuck in a rut, fear you are wasting your life, not living up to your full potential, or that life will never change – the non-creative times in your life will cause you to fear the fog will never left, that you will fail on epic levels. The imbalance between Ne (new and exciting possibilities and ideas) and Si (learning from past mistakes and attending to details) can be… bad.
The myth that Ne-doms never do anything or finish anything is a stereotype; light a big enough fire under a Ne-dom (by choice or necessity) and they can and will get projects done, out of their own desire to see their ideas brought into the real world – that’s a healthy Ne-dom in action: make my ideas real.
Typically, Ne-doms find energy in something they feel passionate about – if you have steadily experienced a decrease in passion over the last year or so, it means somewhere along the way you lost your idealism and/or enthusiasm for whatever you were aiming toward. In other words, maybe you were going to medical school and all excited about that and found out a year in that it’s hard and detail-driven and you don’t like it near as much as you thought… so your passion waned and your energy alongside it.
The cure is to find something that energizes and excites you, which can push you to pursue it with energy instead of lapsing into dreaming and not doing.
A couple of things to remember, in general:
How you start your day matters. Your brain is a computer that has a limited amount of time to boot up in the morning – and how you choose to let it boot up will impact its mental coherency for the rest of the day. People who hit the snooze button and enter a half-sleep cycle fight lethargy the rest of the day; people who choose not to engage their mind and set a mentality of ‘start work’ find it harder to stay focused or get motivated; but the people who get up promptly and create a plan for the day often get a lot done.
When I heard about this, I legit thought that it was idiotic, so I decided to test it over a couple of weeks and monitor my mental process. The days I get right up and do something productive (write reviews, answer e-mails, even write on a book), I feel more alert / motivated for the entire rest of the day; and the days I lay around in bed, only chat with my friends, or watch Netflix before breakfast… forget it, I often have to ‘force’ myself to take action the rest of the day.
Set reasonable goals and reward yourself. If you have nothing to look forward to on the other end, why do it? Give your mind and body what it wants – something beyond a sense of accomplishment.
Exercise. N types tend to think a lot and move not so much. If you lack energy, exercise… it will build your stamina and give you more physical energy. :)
Good luck!

Inferior Function Fascination
An interesting thing about the inferior function is that it can be a surprisingly noticeable part of a person’s personality. I think people have a tendency to be fascinated by it. I’d like to write about how each inferior function can show up in a positive way below.
ENXPs (inferior Si): Those with inferior Si can have a strong appreciation for things that remind them of positive experiences they’ve had in the past. They can also have an appreciation for aesthetics and have sensory interests such as decorating, dance, etc.
IXFPs (inferior Te): Inferior Te can cause IXFPs to strongly admire efficiency and logic. It may also cause them to be be good at leading groups of people.
EXTJs (inferior Fi): Inferior Fi can cause EXTJs to be interested in finding their identity and staying true to their values. They may find that they enjoy emotional stories and making romantic gestures.
IXTPs (inferior Fe): People with inferior Fe may dislike social disharmony and take steps to avoid it. They may be surprisingly interested in emotional stories as well.
INXJs (inferior Se): Inferior Se can lead to a love of beauty and sensory experience. It may cause INXJs to have aesthetic or physical hobbies such as painting, dance, etc.
ESXPs (inferior Ni): Those with inferior Ni may show interest in discussing abstract topics and trust their intuition more than expected. They may be interested in psychology or mystery novels.
EXFJs (inferior Ti): Inferior Ti can cause EXFJs to enjoy solving puzzles and challenging themselves. They may also find themselves interested in how things work.
ISXJs (Inferior Ne): Inferior Ne may cause ISXJs to enjoy writing, travel, or anything that allows them to be creative and explore. They may also be surprisingly spontaneous at times.

Draniki are made of potatoes, so it's basically potato chips with potato flavour. Belarusians are not beating those potato-loving-nation allegations.
