Midlife Awakening – It’s Not a Crisis!
Redefining Midlife
Midlife is not a crisis X! How you view midlife is crucial. For decades, society has often depicted midlife as a period of slowing down or settling into comfort – though, thankfully, this perception is beginning to shift. So, when you choose to make a significant change during these supposedly ‘calm’ years, it might unsettle those around you. It’s unexpected, and as a rule, we’re not great at handling unexpected changes. You might hear whispers of, “She’s having a midlife crisis!”
The Awakening!
But no, that’s not it. She’s not in crisis – she’s had an awakening! She’s realized that the status quo, the things she’s been tolerating, just aren’t acceptable anymore. Previously, her children were the focus, but now they’re grown. It’s time for her to start asking herself, “What do I need?”. Ideally, we should always consider our needs, but understandably, raising children often means putting our desires on the back burner. Does this resonate?
Embracing Change: Confronting the Unrest
Disrupting the calm? So be it. This change has likely been brewing for a while. Those close to you might have noticed the underlying unrest but chose to ignore it, hoping it would pass. Yet, it hasn’t. In fact, the more you try to suppress these feelings, the stronger they resurface. It’s braver to acknowledge and confront these emotions head-on. By facing them, you open the door to genuine transformation and growth.
Midlife: A Journey of Self-Rediscovery
As we approach midlife, our lives don’t just change on the outside – our inner needs evolve too. When we finally give voice to these needs, they may surprise those around us. They seem to come out of nowhere because, until now, we might not have had the courage or opportunity to express them. But the time has come! Midlife isn’t just an age; it’s a pivotal moment for self-discovery and courageously asserting what we truly need and want.
The New Chapter of Midlife
Midlife is an opportunity to embrace our true selves.
What is our role now?
In our youth, we played the roles of daughter, then wife & homemaker, and mother. Now, part of my role is enjoying more quality time with my husband and building a business I’m passionate about – one that will allow me to support my husband into retirement.
Embracing this new chapter has been transformative. There’s so much we look forward to experiencing together, and it’s equally important to have interests we each enjoy independently. Midlife isn’t a crisis; it’s a journey of discovery and fulfillment.
