Midlife for many is a time of transition, a time of questioning and a time of change, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. It’s when you one day wake up to the realisation that you’ve reached middle age and that you’ve only got a finite amount of time left ahead of you. Maybe you catch sight of yourself in the mirror and wondered for a moment who is that staring back at you.
For many this midpoint in life brings a great deal of frustration and worry. It’s a period where you first begin to notice your body slowing down, unwanted physical and emotional changes begin to creep in. Combine these with a general lack of get-up-and-go, and any many times of moody or irritable behaviour while trying to cope with this new reality. This is often referred to as a mid-life crisis. Yet let me assure you it truly can be the best time of your life. I should know, I'm there!
Unfortunately many individuals aren’t in the position where they can sit back and enjoy all the hard work of the years behind them.
Things may not have come together as well as you had wished for, and you still have a long way to go if you’re going to achieve your dreams.
Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or a milestone birthday, we wake up one day and realize we are not where we thought we’d be.
So I strongly suggest you give yourself permission to pursue your passions and to be happy. Many times we forget that we actually deserve to enjoy life.
