If you’re new to Geek Psychology, my name is Matt Sherman. People call me Sherman. I'm a personality type expert, life coach, hypnotist, author, podcaster, and course creator. I help mainly INFPs embrace their unique strengths and navigate life's challenges. Through practical strategies and deep insights, I aim to help people like you live a more fulfilling and authentic live where you can wake up and feel good about who you are and your impact on the world.
I'm a big proponent of positive thinking, karma, and the Law of Attraction. It's part of my life philosophy, no doubt about that. But in this video, I explore why it's not quite enough just to think positive thoughts if you want to change the world for the better.
It is a commonly held belief that positive thinking leads to success. That by thinking positively, we can achieve anything. To a certain extent, this is true... but only by taking action. By actually doing the things that are needed to make our dreams a reality. This also applies to real life as well - if you think you're going to lose your job and don't act on it, it will likely come true. If you think you're going to succeed in business and take action to make it happen, it's just as likely that you'll achieve success.
But wait! There's more...
The thing is that a positive attitude is not an action. Create a positive mindset and then live into the actions required to create the outcome you want.

Stop fighting yourself. ️ Let your soul (introverted Feeling) and your commander ️ (extraverted Thinking) work side by side. Use emotions as rocket fuel, not roadblocks. Align productivity with your core values. Magic happens when your personality's parts quest together, not when one beats the other into submission.…

3 Unexpected Ways To Play An INFP In D&D (That Aren't Just 'Quiet Healers') 11:29

11:29

Everyone thinks INFPs are just soft-spoken dreamers who can't handle conflict. But as an INFP who's been through plenty of battles (both real and imagined), let me show you how our emotional depth can create some of the most fascinating characters at your table... The Soul Tender • Creates literal empathetic bonds • Shares damage with allies • Perfect for: Clerics, Divine Soul Sorcerers • Think: "Your pain is my pain... literally" The Pain Artisan • Transforms curses into power • Converts enemy debuffs into party buffs • Perfect for: Bards, Aberrant Mind Sorcerers • Think: "Every scar tells a story I can rewrite" The Dreamwalker • Blurs reality with imagination • Manifests tactical possibilities • Perfect for: Illusion Wizards, Archfey Warlocks • Think: "Reality is just one of infinite possibilities" Pro Tip: Don't fall into the "passive INFP" trap. Use your emotional intelligence proactively. Your party doesn't just need another healer - they need someone who can rewrite the rules of what's possible. Which archetype would you play? Or have you created your own INFP-inspired character? #DnD #INFP #TTRPG #GeekPsychology 00:00 Introduction to INFPs in RPGs 00:47 Understanding the INFP Personality 02:34 Character Archetypes: Soul Tender 03:53 Character Archetypes: Pain Artisan and Dreamwalker 06:59 Tips for Playing INFP Characters…
