SYO53 Mid-Life Without The Crisis

This week we’re looking at how to approach mid-life without going through the clichéd mid-life crisis!

Now, I am 56 this year, so I’ve been negotiating mid-life stuff for a while now. I actually appreciate this mid-life phase, and if you’re one of the many people who approach it with horror,  I want to help you re-frame it, so you can appreciate this phase of life too. 

Mid-life is only painful if you resist it and try to be what you are not. Each phase of life has its focus. In our earlier decades we’re building our lives, we’ve got the (misplaced) confidence of youth, and we’re busy creating the problems that we’ll have to resolve in later life!

And honestly, would you really want to go back to the mess you were in your twenties and thirties? I know I wouldn’t! It took me years to sort myself out from all the bad habits I indulged in then. I didn’t really start growing up till my late 30s. And guess what that is... mid-life!

David Bowie said, "Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been." I prefer to say, you become the person you were always “meant to be”.  

Mid-life though is the time to free yourself. It’s the time to sort yourself out and achieve a higher level of well-being than you’ve ever had in your life. This is the compensation for a few wrinkles and a bit of flab! 

By the time we reach middle age, there’s a lot of water under the bridge, allowing us to look back and analyse all the pointers we’ve received across the years about our purpose in life and really allow those to unfold, in the light of the wisdom of our more advanced years.

Join me as we discuss how to by-pass the mid-life crisis and use this time to get down to the more meaningful business of life, where we cultivate a deeper understanding of what we are here on this planet to do.
