Living authentically also seems to take courage and to swallow ones own ego as well. When we change, lets say political affiliation, we are also afraid of backlash and to be seen as a "traitor" and i think a lot more people want to change. Theyre just afraid to at times. But all in all. Living authentically also means living healthy to me.
This is very true. It’s how people become entrenched in belief systems; their beliefs are tied to their ego, like it’s apart of their very sense of self. To change feels like a betrayal to oneself, and this is only amplified if raised in a family that holds these beliefs
I think that once we get older, it is easier for us to be ourselves as opposed to being who we are “supposed “ to be. Traveling around the world challenged the ideals my parents taught me and beliefs my culture programmed me to believe. We are often programmed by the ones who love us the most. Traveling and reading are how we grow into who we are ultimately meant to be if we are willing to do the work. I’m still myself, but I feel this is where authenticity enters. Interesting topic! Thank you! 🙏💜🙏
I so agree! I was in my early 40's when I realized I could be more "me" and not what I thought others expected. Not big changes on the outside but more content on the inside. I surround myself with friends and family who may have different opinions but I feel that is how I have grown. I like me, myself and I😊

I like to say “Do it scared.” Sometimes I really want to do something but my anxiety can get the best of me. Had an amazing experience facing a fear doing indoor rock climbing.
All of your points are excellently stated. I believe we are approaching a new era of folks with the UA-cam world becoming much more mature. In the internet sense.
People need to get past the dualistic idea that you either are perfect just the way you are OR you need to hustle and grind and “constantly be improving”, life is more nuanced than that. You can accept and love yourself the way you are, forgiving yourself for having the flaws you do as you are just a product of your circumstances, dismantling inner feelings of shame and self-loathing while ALSO acknowledging your part in your flaws, seeking to rectify them, and striving to be better. You should improve yourself, but you should simultaneously cut yourself some slack and acknowledge that you deserve some rest and peace, and that you’re okay in this moment, any sort of urgent “I gotta fix myself as soon as possible!” Is in your head, and is mostly garbage you’ve been fed about yourself.
I like this idea of yourself being contained in like a giant bubble. And when you try new things, explore, it's not deleting your current bubble and replacing it with a new one; it just means your bubble gets stretched over that way. And maybe it'll stay over there, or maybe it will spring back to how it was previously because you realize the new thing doesn't vibe with you.
Glad to find this other channel, Hampton! It is my personal conviction that life is all about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. I always liken it to working out. You have to literally tear up your muscles in order to build better, stronger muscles :)
I'd love to see videos about life (in your 20s) and how to navigate this stage of life. I am very confused right now, even though I am on a good path. Thank you Hampton. Let me know if you want me to be more specific.
Stepping out of your comfort zone can be exhausting but it ultimately has some good in that it teaches you about yourself. It's a humbling experience because you're opening yourself up to be vulnerable, where your faults are laid bare and where you commit mistakes which I think is why so many are hesitant to live authentically. For me it's been acknowleding that I do need help with maths, that I do need more practice with driving, and that I do still have so much to learn about exercise and healthy eating. Often there are moments when I just want to surrender and blame my shortcomings on something else and find excuses to just stay the way I am because of comforting and easy thoughts like I'm perfect the way I am and don't need to change anything. Self-imrovement has not been a straightforward journey for me but I'm doing better now than I was months ago where I let my circumstances define me.
First comment! :> When I started driving, I *lived* for red lights. It was where I could put on the breaks, and knew I couldn't injure anybody. 🤣 I'm much more comfortable with driving now, but I still try to make red lights a time to breath out and relax, since that's a healthy thing. :) Loving the points here! On the one hand, there are areas I've needed to "love who I am" (for instance, enjoying listening to recordings of myself and not cringing the entire time I edit anything I play or sing). But it's also important to learn and grow (actually practice and try to make better recordings in the future), and to step back at times and see if the media/friendships/learning/habits etc I'm engaging in are taking me where I want to be in years to come. :) (Of course there are misalignments and imperfections when I compare that to current me, but I think a goal can be authentic to us even if we aren't "there" yet 😅)
Thanks for bringing up those touchy topics of religion and politics. It was honestly just what I needed in my own journey right now. It has felt like I was abandoning past communities, but I could not deny the feelings that other things resonated more. I appreciate you!!
I think what people forget when it comes to all the concept of self improvement is that "The whole you includes what you don't like about yourself as well, everything about you is you." So you don't magically improve yourself in a moment or change that but you have to come in terms with it, then slowly transform yourself discard what you want and adapt what is necessary. You can't do that without being able to come in terms with ideas like "you are the root of most of your problems." and "you are capable of improving wherever you want, as long you persevere."
I'm a big believer in the idea of 7 stages of life. This works on many levels, including a societal level. The big push for Authenticity these days I think comes from humanities desire to create an identity, which is why the world is very protective of it. Being your best self is most certainly ideal because identity is all about becoming someone who can give a piece of themselves to the world (Generativity).
I really resonate with your message! I’m glad I found this channel because I’m more into this type of content than fitness. 😹 Anyways, growing up my political and religious views were basically the same as my family. When I started reading and consuming content for myself, I realized I did not align with either of those things! I feel more me now than I ever have.
It's the pendulum swinging between individuality and conformity. For a long time conformity was most important for the sake of the tribe. Since arriving in a time of peace some decades ago, we had the freedom to focus on being more individualistic. We've seen the natural apex of individualism, people behaving without consideration for others on a large scale, and are now swinging back towards the center. In a few decades, I imagine, we're going to reach a point where we more embody the importance of a healthy balance between individualism and conformity. Just a matter of being supportive as we bring ourselves back to balance. Edit: By conformity I more so mean being better and considerate for the betterment of the community over blind obedience.
Regarding your initial thoughts about authenticity online, they are very much what I have been saying lately: "I am tired of perfect, give me punk!" I have been gravitating towards e.g. someone filming in their messy craft room, and not editing very well, but who makes a genuinely interesting product. Perfect is becoming the norm and run of the mill, and as such lose value. Great filming quality, high-end editing, fitting graphics, the perfect words in the perfect order in a perfect room. We all know it isn't real, and it is becoming stifling. And with the rise of AI, appearant perfection gets even more bland. Give me punk, because overproduced have no juice and life. Give me hippie, because unreal neatness and conservative expectations kills creativity.
I saw this video linked in a discord server, and the title interested me, then when you mentioned you’re not very big yet and I checked and was very surprised, I just might stick around
Wow Hampton! I like this. So cool. I’m one of those constantly trying to expand and improve myself in all sorts of ways. Trying new things, and religiously and politically. I like to hear all the sides and really consider stuff. I know I drive a lot of people crazy that I know because they think I should just be happy as myself and well, I guess I just think we should always be moving forward. A lot of it may have to do with the religious beliefs I’ve experienced. I’ve tried very hard to really get to know other religions and perspectives. I did however land on Eastern Orthodox Christianity but I still have an appreciation for the rest. There is something to learn everywhere we look. I love this style of your content. Thanks Hampton!
I love your videos since they can hit on my general topics. I found your channel when looking up how to lose belly fat. For me living authentically is doing what comes natural to me. I personally dont think there is a better self since i think we are all a way at the moment for a reason. I think just aligning yourself with you instead of ideas of you is the way to go.
For myself if i like myself then theres no point in improving. I hate myself but i try to make myself better so i can hate myself a little less everyday. For me that's positivity. We need to bad to fuel us to make things better. Otherwise there's no point in the negative.
The problem I have with that is if I'm being hateful towards myself I immediately spiral into self sabotage and self destructive behavior. I have to be coming from a place of being kind to and taking care of myself before I'm able to be motivated to change for the better.
@@eyesofthecervino3366 that can be the issue and i definitely do that sometimes but i suck at being kind to myself so i use what i can to be better. Plus being angry at myself for not doing something helps kick me in to gear to do it, usually. Losing weight and working out it's especially helpful to get myself either just moving or through hard reps. Definitely not the healthiest thing i admit but better than letting the anger spiral me.
LOL - comfort zone ... my first jury trial, I'd gotten no courtroom experience in law school, and my client told me he wanted a jury trial. I told him I'd never done one before, but he insisted - "you'll do fine". It is the client's right to a jury trial and my duty to defend him, so that's what I did. He and a buddy had been out all night drinking and driving his buddy's 4x4, and they ended up on a sandbar in the middle of the Kansas River at five in the morning, they lined up their whiskey bottles in a row and were shooting at them with a .30-'06 rifle. Which made a lot of noise, which resulted in lots of calls to the sheriff, which resulted in the county sheriff and his deputies showing up and arresting my client for drunk driving - he was sitting in the driver's seat with the key in the ignition and engine running... So they tested him for alcohol and he was way over the limit. They didn't test his buddy in the passenger seat, though. Looks open and shut, right? Not quite, to be drunk driving in Kansas, you have to be "on the public roads or highways" - the shoulder of the road counts, too. But a sandbar in the middle of the Kansas River isn't on a public road or highway. They couldn't use res ipsa, because his buddy testified that he'd never let my client drive his truck - "he's a notorious drunk." The jury came back and found my client not guilty, the judge released the bail, got up, turned around, and stormed out of the courtroom, slamming the door to his chambers, and the DA walked out too, glaring at me... I told my client that he was a *very* lucky person, told him "don't do this again, your luck might not hold." That was my first jury trial and it was *way* outside of my comfort zone...

A mental health phrase I've always loved is "striving to be the best version of yourself" and the like.
I think that once we get older, it is easier for us to be ourselves as opposed to being who we are “supposed “ to be. Traveling around the world challenged the ideals my parents taught me and beliefs my culture programmed me to believe. We are often programmed by the ones who love us the most. Traveling and reading are how we grow into who we are ultimately meant to be if we are willing to do the work. I’m still myself, but I feel this is where authenticity enters.

We need more coffe with Hampton :)
It feels like Hampton actually talking to you to self improve…
This is the first channel to justify notifications. I'm looking forward to more coffee time!

Preach, brother! Much love from Sweden
I am so excited for this podcast, your voice is soothing and your words uplifting ❤ thank u 4 being u here on in this virtual weird space
I saw this video linked in a discord server, and the title interested me, then when you mentioned you’re not very big yet and I checked and was very surprised, I just might stick around
I just found it now but I’m glad you made this channel :).
I used to always enjoy the coffee with hampton episodes on your main channel.
Loving the haircut🎉
hi hampton, i hope you'll continue to upload stuff here
Spot on my brother. Love the peaceful atmosphere ❤

Hey, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate these videos!
This is why I jumped of LTT a long time ago. It got too manufactured, and the soul was lost.
I love your videos since they can hit on my general topics. I found your channel when looking up how to lose belly fat. For me living authentically is doing what comes natural to me.

For myself if i like myself then theres no point in improving.
I hate myself but i try to make myself better so i can hate myself a little less everyday.

The problem I have with that is if I'm being hateful towards myself I immediately spiral into self sabotage and self destructive behavior. I have to be coming from a place of being kind to and taking care of myself before I'm able to be motivated to change for the better.
@@eyesofthecervino3366 that can be the issue and i definitely do that sometimes but i suck at being kind to myself so i use what i can to be better.
