Is the hype around midlife crises true? And how can we stay happy at a time when everyone around us is getting stuck with unhappiness and midlife crisis. Read on to know more.
One day we are running, playing with our friends and going to colleges, discussing goals for the future and suddenly we are 38. We enjoyed hanging out with friends, Friday night movies and suddenly we just want the comfort of home and enjoy a cup of coffee with our favourite book on a weekend. Does that mean you have changed? Or have stopped enjoying life as you did before. Or are you confronting what is popularly known and dreaded, Midlife crisis? Blame it on popular media but we are made to believe that we are hitting some sort of wall in our life when we turn forty which can get people panicky and stressed. But don’t worry, life does not pause at the middle age, you can have fun and be happy even when you are in middle age. How? Let us find out.
Do not believe in hype, age is just a number
Happiness does not depend on age. There doesn’t have to be a crisis when you hit that big four. Yes, there is always change and transition but that does not define your personal goals or happiness. Don’t let the hype get to you and make your own experiences. Because as they say, what you attract is the thing you focus on, so focus on building your personal happiness and improving yourself every day.
Accept the change and start appreciating small things in life
Life is changing every day and change is the only thing that is true in this fast-pacing world. So, the best you can do is to accept this change around you. May it be your circumstances or even your personal appearance. Accept it with grace and smile and grow with it. Another thing you must work on is maturing as a person with every passing day and appreciating all the small things and blessings in life. These things can make you feel grateful for the life you are leading which can lead to inner happiness.
Be yourself and love yourself
You cannot be under the garb of someone for whole your life. Middle age brings in a wonderful opportunity for you to be unapologetically yourself. Stop trying to fit in a box instead love yourself no matter what age you are.
Still scared of midlife crisis?
