How To Find Your Own Unique Voice While Recovering From Narcissistic Relationship With a Nature Walk.
When I talk about “how to find your own unique voice while recovering from a narcissistic relationship” I don’t mean finding your “singing voice.” What I mean by finding your own voice is developing a stronger sense of Self, your Truth, and Values. Or even your intuition. And of course, a way to express yourself in a way that feels the most natural to you.
Also Developing authenticity and autonomy. Create harmony between your inner world and the outer world. Also, it creates very strong intrinsic motivations that become invincible against any external (negative) influences. Sounds good?
When we have experienced a narcissistic relationship in our life and are still in the process of recovering from it we can still experience feelings of loneliness and isolation. Mainly because of our trust issues towards other people.
We have these trust issues because of the many disappointments we have experienced so far. Therefore solitude became our “way to survive.” Of course, it also may have to do with our fear of intimacy that avoids connections.
Personally I sometimes can still experience these feelings of loneliness and isolation in my creative work and self-expression. I desire to have stronger intrinsic motivations, purpose, authenticity, and autonomy. Work from an intuitive and creative flow. Yet not always so much in touch with “reality.”
Because I am still in the process of building a stronger personal identity I like to avoid social interactions. Because without a strong sense of Self we tend to hide beyond a “mask or false self.” Adapting to the expectations of that particular social group. You can then still feel lonely and isolated within that group because of your personal disconnect with Yourself.
Therefore I ask myself some questions you might relate to in my next video. These are repeating thoughts that seem to come back. Also, my next video will give you some time to reflect on this topic of “finding your own voice while recovering from a narcissistic relationship”. Recovering during “stage nr 3” of course ;-). But more about that in my video.
How silence and solitude can help you to hear your own inner voice.
“Many people fear silence and solitude because they might find something about themselves that is out of alignment. Yet within the silence and solitude, you can also hear your own unique voice”.
That’s why I gave you several minutes in the video to reflect on this topic. During my last decade of recovering from a narcissistic relationship, I had spent a lot of time in solitude. Even though I can enjoy being around others, I can just enjoy being alone in solitude.
The solitude (in nature) can give you clarity of thoughts, feelings, and emotions. It can help you to Re-identify yourself.
Unfortunately, many of us are “trying too hard” to fit in. Fit in a social group and adapt to their standards and expectations. Especially around work.
For years I really wanna see myself as a very masculine, determine, business savvy and tough individual. Yet I was neglecting the much more intuitive and sensitive part of me. Because I was so “obsessed” with building this “fake identity” I started to feel burned-out. Perhaps you can relate to that?
That’s why I had to spend several years in solitude to get more in touch with my own “inner voice.” But that also depends if you are an introvert or extravert of course ;-).
In case you would like to learn more about the “Stage 3 narcissistic recovering period” then I can suggest you have a good read at this post.
Also, feel free to give yourself a 30-minute break to enjoy this guided “light-body activation” meditation for healing your throat chakra. Which has to do with speaking out your Truth and Self Expression.
