ISTJ: Mood improver apps
ISTJs are practical people who put work before play and like to do things properly. Someone has to dot the i’s and cross the t’s, right? For ISTJs diligence and order take precedence over frivolous pursuits, reflecting a deeply ingrained belief in the importance of thoroughness and correctness.
It's the ISTJs who willingly take on the crucial role of ensuring every detail is attended to and their commitment to proper execution and their methodical nature make them indispensable in situations requiring reliability and a systematic approach. They find satisfaction in bringing order to chaos and ensuring that all aspects of a project or undertaking are handled with precision and care, truly embodying the sentiment that meticulous attention to detail is essential for success.
Although all of this this makes you incredibly reliable, it can also cause you a great deal of stress. That’s why, for you, a mood tracker app like MoodKit or MoodCast could be a great investment. These apps help you track your moods over time (and see what is causing you more stress), identify unhealthy thoughts and offer management tools based on cognitive behavioral therapy to keep your stress under control.
ISTP: Mini meditation
ISTPs thrive on having new experiences, whether it’s trying the new Thai restaurant in town or taking a dance class to work off all that excess energy. You’re not the most patient type and struggle with waiting around!
ISTPs can be easily frustrated by delays and have difficulty practicing patience—they typically can’t stand any waiting around! To help you find your ISTP zen, try mini meditations. Incorporating mini-meditations into your daily routine can be a valuable tool for cultivating inner calm. These short bursts of mindfulness can be seamlessly integrated into even the busiest of schedules, such as during your commute to work, while waiting in line at the grocery store or even during brief pauses between tasks.
Engaging in just a few minutes of focused breathing, body scan exercises, or mindful observation can yield significant benefits over time. Regular practice of mini-meditations has been shown to effectively lower stress levels by calming the nervous system and reducing the production of stress hormones.
ISFJ: Crystal healing
You’re generous and warm-hearted, ISFJ, and likely the person everyone in your social circle turns to. But it’s easy to put yourself on ice. Remember your worth by spoiling yourself with a special type of spa treatment. Crystal healing—no longer just reserved for people who live in Malibu— has become an enduring wellness trends. The process places stones at the energy centers of the body to manifest clarity, relieve stress and restore harmony and balance. So book a crystal massage with stones like rose quartz to infuse yourself with self-love.
Think of it as a way to recharge the emotional batteries you so often give away. The gentle energy of the crystals can help remind you that tending to your own well-being isn’t selfish, it’s essential. After all, you can’t pour from an empty cup, no matter how big your heart is.
ISFP: Sound healing
ISFPs are creative and easy going. You go with the flow and live in the moment but sometimes struggle to remain organized with your plans. That’s why sound healing should be at the top of your wellness list. Sound healing—sometimes called sound baths—uses frequencies to influence your brainwaves, helping you reach a meditative state. It enhances clarity, which can help you bring those long-term plans to life.
Plus, the immersive experience appeals to your sensory side—letting you soak in tones, textures, and subtle vibrations that feel as nourishing as a piece of your favorite art. It’s not just about stillness; it’s about beauty in its most resonant form.
INFJ: Sleep syncing
INFJs are many things—both creative and analytical; compassionate, while also being excellent problem-solvers. Sometimes, you rush from one project to another and lose sleep because you’re pulled in many directions and depend on coffee to get through the day. To improve your sleep, try sleep syncing. This is when you set a schedule for when you go to sleep every night to train your brain to know when you should be sleepy. It should give you much more energy to get through your day.
Sleep syncing also appeals to your love of structure and long-term growth. Once you establish a healthy rhythm, you’ll find that your insights come more clearly, your emotions feel steadier, and your days start with more intention, allowing you to pour your energy into the causes and people that matter most.
INFP: Yoga retreat
As an INFP personality, your number one goal is to make your own dreams come true while encouraging others to live their best lives. Since you can sometimes be overwhelmed by your intense feelings and passionate relationships, breaking away from them can be helpful. A yoga retreat, in which you escape your life for a bit and focus on centering yourself, can help you slow down your thoughts and gain more self-reflection about big decisions.
These retreats also give you space to reconnect with your values, something you hold sacred. Whether you're journaling in solitude or practicing heart-opening poses at sunrise, you’ll leave feeling re-inspired to live with authenticity, imagination, and deep compassion for others and for yourself.
INTJ: Forest bathing
INTJs are fiercely independent innovators who find motivation from within, making you a force to be reckoned with. But sometimes, you can get stuck in the action. For you, forest bathing is good because it takes you out into nature. Look at the trees, focus on your inner feelings, and relax. Taking time to rest is just as important as achieving your to-do list, and it makes the road to success more enjoyable.
Stepping away from strategy and into stillness may feel counterintuitive, but it actually sharpens your clarity. Forest bathing gives your mind the freedom to wander, which is often when your most elegant solutions and long-range ideas quietly surface. You’re not losing momentum; you’re refining it.
INTP: Multisensory yoga
INTPs are quite content to live in their inner world but your lack of connection with others can put you at a disadvantage. Joining a multisensory yoga class is a great option for you because it can help you engage your senses while interacting with others in a calming space. Multisensory yoga combines sound, sight and smell to make it more immersive. So, for example, you might do yoga in nature while Tibetan singing bowls play healing sounds.
This type of environment satisfies your curiosity without overloading your social circuits. It gives your mind something rich to explore while gently nudging you toward presence and embodiment — two areas that often get left behind when you're deep in thought.
ESTP: Cold plunge
Being around others fuels your energy, ESTP, and you’re also a thrill seeker. Wellness trends that require you to be still might not be adventurous enough for you. So – try a cold plunge! Submerging yourself in cold water that’s 59 degrees Fahrenheit or less has various health benefits, like boosting your norepinephrine neurotransmitter that’s associated with attention and mood. So, you’ll feel calmer and happier, and have less anxiety, while getting the rush you crave.
Plus, it's quick, effective, and gives you a story to tell, which is just your style. Whether you’re plunging after a workout or as part of your morning routine, it’s a high-impact habit that fuels both your body and your bold personality.
ESTJ: Skychology
You’re one of life’s great organizers, ESTJ, and you love doing things in a certain way. But you can be stubborn at times. It can be helpful for you to practice being more flexible and getting more in tune with your feelings so you can process them instead of hiding them. Try Skychology, a super-simple wellbeing trend that has you go out into nature and look up at the sky. It sounds too easy to be helpful, but researchers say it encourages mindfulness while giving you a greater perspective on whatever’s stressing you out.
Even just a few minutes of sky-gazing can help reset your mental state, especially when your schedule feels packed or your plans go off track. For someone who’s always focused on what’s next, Skychology offers a rare invitation to pause, breathe and remember the bigger picture.
ESFP: Three-part breathing
ESFPs are happiest when surrounded by family, friends, treasured pets, and everything they love. But you’re not great at sitting still and dislike boredom, which you try to avoid at all costs. For you, three-part breathing can ground you when you’re spiraling out on all those experiences you pack into your day.
How three-part breathing works is you take long, deep breaths and imagine them filling up in your throat, chest and belly. As you exhale, you’ll follow the path of your breath back from your belly, chest and throat. It only takes a few minutes and you’ll soon feel calmer and more grounded.
This quick, sensory-focused technique helps you stay connected to your body and present in the moment without needing to step too far away from the action. It gives your nervous system a reset, so you can jump back into life’s adventures with a little more peace and clarity.
ESFJ: Sensehacking
ESFJs are loyal and empathetic. You care about other people, but you can get a little too involved in their lives and problems and a little too dependent on what they think. Turning your attention to yourself can help you to focus on your own needs. That’s where sensehacking comes in.
This is where you pay attention to what you hear, see, smell, taste and touch and create the right sensory experiences that help you center and relax. For instance, you fill your room with plants and pictures, or reduce the noise in your workplace to reduce sensory overload.
Sensehacking empowers you to create a sanctuary where you feel safe and at ease — a place where your needs come first. With the right atmosphere, it becomes easier to unplug from others’ emotions and tune into your own wellbeing.
ENFP: Mindful drinking
ENFPs are charismatic social butterflies and your party planner is full of events. When spending time socializing, it’s easy to wind up holding a glass of wine. Mindful drinking is the practice of being more aware of how much, when and why you drink. While it’s no biggie to get a bit buzzed now and then, it’s healthy to be present in your choices instead of falling into mindless habits. It often leads to healthy outcomes, such as better sleep and less anxiety, researchers say.
It’s not about saying no to fun, it’s about saying yes to intentional joy. Mindful drinking lets you enjoy your social life while staying aligned with your values, goals and energy. Think of it as a way to stay vibrant, not drained.
ENFJ: Infrared sauna blanket
ENFJs are great communicators and leaders. You’re the go-to person for organizing events at work or in your social circle and you always encourage others. But sometimes, you can be self-sacrificing. Give yourself a timeout! Switch off your cell phone and lie down beneath an infrared sauna blanket. Not only will it feel like you’re wrapped in a warm hug, but you’ll also get all the benefits of a traditional sauna, such as detoxing your body and lowering your blood pressure.
Taking this kind of solo time helps you recalibrate emotionally and physically, so you’re not running on empty. When you care for yourself deeply, you actually become an even more powerful presence for the people you lead and love.
ENTP: Micro workouts
You are curious and playful, ENTP, and you love throwing yourself into new challenges, like the latest exercise trend. But you sometimes struggle to stay motivated. For you, 10-minute micro workouts could be the heart-healthy answer to getting more exercise! You can easily slot these workouts into your day and they're a great way to experiment with smaller wellness and self-care activities that make a big difference.
Even better, micro workouts keep your routine from getting stale. You can switch it up daily: HIIT one day, yoga the next, dance the day after. It’s structure without boredom, and progress without pressure. Just the way you like it.
ENTJ: Rucking
We all know that ENTJs are drawn to hard work and achieving goals. The downside? You can become too analytical or obsessive, pushing through challenges that don't matter all that much through sheer force of will. Since you don’t make time to rest, rucking is a good wellness trend to try. Leave your devices at home, strap on a weighted backpack, and head outdoors for a power walk. Unlike wellness trends that force you to sit down, rucking enables you to be active while breathing in fresh air.
Rucking also taps into your love of efficiency: it’s exercise, mental clarity and stress relief all in one. It gives you that forward momentum you crave, while carving out the mental space needed for your next big idea.
