According to the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the “Sensing” preference knows how to stay in the here-and-now. In contrast, the “iNtuitive” preference is interested in “what might be” and so has a harder time staying in the present moment. Yet, behaviors that help you lose weight must take place in the “now”. Every time you postpone doing something now, let’s say exercising, the likelihood of it taking place later is slim. Be honest with yourself. How many times have you promised yourself I’ll get to it later and it never happens.
If you have Sensing in your personality type, you have a better chance of doing something now than later. Making eating decisions is a “now” experience. How many times have you heard someone say “I’ll start my diet on Monday morning.” You were probably talking with someone who has iNtuition in their type name. It’s putting off until tomorrow what you know you should do today.
Maybe the best thing you can do for yourself is find out what your type is, what its strengths are and how it can challenge you. Visit my website at www.advantagediets.com and check out what personality typing is all about. You’ll find it fascinating and you’ll probably find, after determining your own type, how you start trying to guess what the type is of your friends and family. Personality type is great for understanding people better.
