Overcoming Mid-life Crisis

15 August 2014 By In Relationship Advice

Just as you are becoming an empty nester, kids are leaving for school, growing up, travelling during their gap year; you begin to experience a midlife crisis. What start asking yourself what you are going to do with all your free time and no one but yourself to focus on? Is it time to try a new career? How will you deal with the boredom and down time?

Mid-Life Crisis Coming Up?

Traditionally, a midlife crisis is the time, between ages 40 and 60 when you experience an emotional transition. It may be marked by a time of depression, reflection, frivolous spending, and new relationships. The middle of life time is different for everyone but no matter what emotions it brings out of you, you have the choice to welcome this time and make the most of it.

Natural Rhythm

Life has a natural rhythm and after you’ve put your time in and raised your children for all those years, you now have the chance to do all the things you had to put off. Embrace the middle and sometimes best years of your life. A home with no kids means no need to worry about an additional mouth to feed, being able to go out or have people over whenever you’d like, and to travel.

Make a list of every single thing you’d love to do, no matter whether you can afford it, whether it seems silly or impossible, or whether it’s even possible. Prioritize the list and begin to start marking some things off. Want to learn a new skill or trade or work in a new industry? What better time than now? Fix up the house, plant a garden, treat yourself to a new car, go out and meet new people, live your life. Enjoy this opportunity to have free time and a quiet house because before you know it, the grandchildren will be coming to visit.
