- How do you live authentically? Or rather how do you live a life where you feel energized, and fulfilled and where you are walking on your own unique path in life?
In this video, we are going to go deeper into some key insights I had during my life about how to connect more to myself and understand what does and does not feel right to do and how that gives us a compass when making decisions and taking action in our lives to develop a sense of fulfillment and happiness in our lives.

Video Title: How to Live Authentically & be Fulfilled by Following Your Truth Impulses
Does mindfulness destroy spontaneous behavior?
I feel that to be mindful I should practice being aware of myself, but this lead me to pay attention to my thinking, my walking, my conversations etc. and I feel like I'm second guessing myself constantly.
What is wrong with this?
Hey Lorenzo000, so from what you write I feel like you're trying to be present with your mind by focusing intensely on the objects (thinking, walking, conversations etc.) you want to be mindful about. But what you're probably missing is to relax into these experiences and just be there with them. Being mindful is not about intensely focusing on them, but more about relaxing into the awareness of them. What helps to do that is to drop more into your body when you're trying to be mindful. Or rather, try to catch yourself when you are "focusing intensely" on something. Because they key to get out of what you're talking about is relaxation.
Hope that helps.

@@embodiedauthenticity My problem is that I am ALWAYS in my head thinking about what to say, and the more I try to be out of my head and more in the body the more I am in my head. I constantly have a blocked mind, empty of reasoning and with no things to say. I feel without passions and interests and I overconceptualize everything. I am already in psychotherapy, but I would like to ask you for some advice on how to improve my situation. Thanks 🙏
@@lorenzo0008 Sounds great. Whenever you're ready you can book a call with me with the link in the comment before.
You're doing good. Advancing in getting aware/conscious of what your next steps are for your growth. That's progress.
What about authenticity of narcissists? Their truth is deep void, insecurity and fear of feeling inadequate. And the tricky part is them being unaware of these and so enmeshed in mind created reality which suits them without the feeling of empathy for others. All their actions emanate from there which is lacking conscience. For them that is authenticity but in reality it is abuse for a normal person who has some conscience.
So whats your take on authenticity without empathy?
Well, for the narcissists the roots of their actions (deep void, insecurity, fear of feeling inadequate as you described) and the actions that might follow from that, for me that might not be their deepest truth, their full authenticity. It might rather be their pain being expressed in destructive behaviour with other people (or themselves).
I don't like lables too much anyways (like "narcissist"), because we put a label onto a person as if they were doomed for life. I look at a narcissistic person more as a deeply wounded person that developped their strategies to act in the world to be able to feel save, which might be very hurtful for other people. But also for narcissists the inquiry would be to find their truth beyond their pain, beyond their wounding and learning to heal the wounds so they can act out of their deeper truth rather than their unhealed traumas and the destructive behaviours that emerge from that..
@@embodiedauthenticity yes absolutely. Here we get it from a third person point of view but what about those who are subject to the abuse and in emotional entanglements. A lot of people have their parents suffering through and it runs across generations (enabled narcissism). I am all hopeful and I know there is scope for their transformation, but it has come after a lot of awareness, innerwork and learning the art of detachment and not personalizing.
And the biggest irony which exists is that it is really hard and takes time for them to enter into a state of enquiry and realisation... Until then we don't know how many people would get enmeshed. Where the wounded person is being authentic (in their own eyes) and a lay man would take this authenticity at times as an attack on oneself if they do not have a strong sense of self within and are themselves unaware for the moment.
So, that's why my question was: while being authentic shall one be empathetic towards others too? This is like a litmus test for all including people who have narcissistic traits or full blown NPD.
And if empathy comes into picture, does that distort the level of authenticity for a normal man ?
There is a difference between being empathic (feeling the other, feeling with them, have a well-meaning attitude/energy) and accepting other people's inadequate or destructive behaviour. Empathy sometimes is misunderstood for a lack of boundaries. As in "I feel his pain and why he/she does this, so I accept them doing it even though I feel it's wrong for me". That's not empathy, that's a lack of boundaries and standing up for one's own truth.
Having healthy boundaries is vital when dealing with a "narcissist".
However, empathy in the sense of feeling with them and being well-meaning, you can definitely do that and that's a beautiful attitude/energy to have that can even be healing for the other person. But not at the cost of your own integrity, boundaries and mental/emotional health.
That's my take 🤗
@@embodiedauthenticity indeed. Thank you 🤗
