How Can We Make Peace with Our Middle Ages?
As we age, we may feel like the world gives us fewer chances and leaves us feeling more alone. It's hard not to look for meaning when the fast-paced, exciting life we lived as kids starts to slow down.
As kids, we hear things like, "When the fear of midlife crisis knocks on the door," which comes from films, TV shows, and other media we watch, we have to decide how we want to spend the rest of our lives.
The best years of your life might be just around the corner as you move from one end of adulthood to the other.
Some people find it harder to get through middle age. Chip Conley, who wrote the book Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better with Age, went through the same thing.
Conley had a rough patch when he was in his mid-40s. He says that he was in the middle of a crisis, especially after losing family and close friends.
Since people are living longer, middle age, which is now defined as being between 35 and 70 years old, covers a very long time in our lives.
Conley wrote this book to help other people who were struggling during this time and didn't have a plan. He shares what he learned during the best and worst times of his life.
Conley makes the case that middle age can be the best time of life and gives twelve reasons for this in the book.
This book will help us get through a tough time by giving us a better understanding of the changes that happen to us as we get older.
Its goal is to make you aware of the pleasant surprises that come with middle age and to help you learn not only to love middle age but also to love yourself during this time.
Conley says that the Middle Ages are "a time when something deep within us awakens as we shed our skin, spread our wings, and spread our wisdom to the world." He gives us the key to making the Middle Ages a time we truly admire instead of just enduring and living as if they were leap years in our lives.
Before you read the book, which will help you think about how to consciously manage the second half of your adult life and find out why life gets better as you age, let's look at the study that has been done on a healthy midlife and the things you can do to help yourself as you reflect.
Thank you, friend!
