As an INTJ, I've lived life by being in my head all the time and I was stressed out and depressed a lot. Once I started practicing being in the moment, I have experienced calmness and peace more often. I put out the best of me when I am in my head and creating, but I also need ample time spent in the moment to have a well rounded life. This is like medicine to me, when I am feeling stressed or depressed, I shift to living in the moment to find some peace and calmness. It was very hard to accomplish at first and even now, I can easily slip back into my head but I just keep bringing my focus and attention back to the present moment. I've found that by building in time in my day to live in the moment it allows me to achieve more during the times my head is creating marvelous solutions.
