Society's Script: Tear It Up & Write Your Own Story

Have you ever felt like society hands you a life script and expects you to follow it blindly? Unwritten rules and expectations can pressure us into careers, relationships, and lifestyles that don't align with our goals and desired reality. 

But what if we could rewrite the story?

In this blog we will explore the concept of societal expectations and how to break free to live an authentic life. We'll dive into the downsides of conformity, the importance of self-discovery, and steps you can take to create your own unique path.

Society has these unspoken rules about what jobs you should have, who you should date, and even where you should live to have the “dream life”. It's easy to get stuck following that script, even if it doesn't exactly make you happy.

This whole "authenticity" thing is all about figuring out who you REALLY are and living life on YOUR terms. It's not always easy (trust us!), but it's definitely worth it.

Here's the thing: conforming can make you feel stuck. Like you're going through the motions but not really getting anywhere. You might even feel stressed and burnt out trying to keep up with everyone else's expectations.

So how do you break free?

  • Start by getting to know yourself better. Seriously take the time to write out and acknowledge what makes you tick and what are you passionate about. Grab a notebook, meditate, or take some personality quizzes – whatever helps you figure out what YOU want, not what society says you should want.
  • Not all rules were meant to be followed. Question the things that don't feel right for you. Why do we have to get married by a certain age? Why does everyone have to get a college degree? Or have children before their 30s? Do what feels best for you, everyone has a timeline that works for them, so stick to yours.
  • What makes YOU happy? Set goals that light you up, not ones that just look good on a resume. Think back to the activities you wanted to do when you were younger and never had the opportunity. Can you create space in your life for it now?
  • Find your cheerleaders! Surround yourself with people who support you, no matter what path you choose. If you don’t have a large tribe, take the initiative to encourage yourself on the daily just as you would want a friend to. 
  • Baby steps! You don't have to overhaul your life overnight. Start small – maybe take a new class or try a different hobby.

Living authentically is a lifelong process. It requires constant self-reflection and adjustments as you grow and evolve. Remember, it's about embracing who you are, regardless of external pressures. By breaking free from society's script and writing your own story, you can create a life filled with purpose, meaning, and fulfillment.
