hello! ENFJ here, but yes, that is only type and I'm more than my type...you said it well. I thought I would answer the questions you posed, since they often come up for me, but I never answer them when I ask them myself.

How can I make sure to fully rest during times of rest? - play piano during weekends or anytime when I want to rest. It unhooks me from work brain.

How can I trust that my body will tell me when something is important? - My body will tell me something is wrong, but I don't have to "act now." My body told me at this point and then will tell me at which point it is right to act. Those points may be separated by time.

Instead of over conceptualizing my to-do list, how can I allow my instincts to show me what I have the energy to do? - yep. Probably let go of social guilt and engage in only what brings joy.

How can I make my ideas physical and establish a connection from above down to earth? - make a list and then cross off something on that list. Movement Means Alive.

How can I make my physical daily routines feel like a prayer? Checklists help, but only until they become a joyful routine. Keep a lookout for the reward of the routine.

How much do I actually have the energy to do in one day? 1 great thing, 2 good things and a few mundane things. - Prioritize values. Spirit/Relations/Creativity/Body/Money

What are some things that I can do to rejuvenate my physical vitality levels? Calisthenics, casual bike ride (it's the wind in my face), water play (again the feeling of movement) and piano (more movement while stationary.)

How can I create room for energy fluctuations in my schedule and expect this? Where do I need to add wiggle room? The power of vocalization - as long as my throat is comfy vocalizing this experience, I can get through it and even generate energy (or borrow from elsewhere). I know I'm in trouble when I can't express how I'm feeling or thinking.

Thanks for the insightful questions!
