What Does it Mean to Disrupt Your Narrative?

Disrupting your narrative isn’t upending your whole life. It’s a multi-step process not to change everything, but to notice small wins and take back your life. To disrupt your narrative means to challenge or interrupt the established story or framework that you have created about yourself, your life, or a particular situation. It involves questioning and reevaluating the assumptions, beliefs, and patterns that shape your understanding of yourself and the world around you.

Too often, we find ourselves living a narrative that doesn’t feel like our own. I won’t get too deep into the cliché, but go to school, get a pretty good job, get married, have kids, suburbs, minivan, you know, all that. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with that lifestyle and aspiration, but I long for a different path; I desire disruption to take me away from the path that already seems to have been blazed for me.

Disrupting Your Narrative is:

• Self-reflection

• Embracing discomfort

• Challenging limiting beliefs

• Seeking new experiences

• Being open to change

• Practicing self-compassion

• Seeking Support

• Cultivating Curiosity

• Taking action

• Embracing growth

Disrupting comes with a negative, even chaotic connotation, but I call it a change of a pace.
