MID-LIFE CRISIS

In pursuit of happiness…!!!

THE MID-LIFE CRISIS

NAVIGATING THROUGH TOUGHEST PHASE OF LIFE

If you are someone in the age bracket of 35 to 55 years, chances are that you are experiencing the “mid-life crisis” in personal life or “mid-career crisis” in terms of work.

DON’T WORRY, THINGS CAN GET BETTER.

Midlife can be a time of many changes: You might see an increase or decrease in responsibilities, such as your children becoming more independent or having to care for an aging parent; you may realize your career path is less than satisfactory and regret missing out on pursuing work you consider more meaningful; you may start to realize your physical abilities have declined with age, your relationships are not what fulfill you or that you missed a major goal you wanted to achieve along the line.

THE HAPPINESS CURVE

It has been observed that most people go through this journey. The happiness level dips to an all-time low and self-doubt sets in. This could happen for many reasons but the impact remains the same. An individual feels vague, illusioned, and questions their being. During this period, the urge to find our true self, purpose in life, and happiness is strongest. 

Any individual facing Mid-Life Crisis can convert this to an opportunity for growth. Individuals can start a journey to self-discovery, finding their true purpose of life and make a smooth career transition. 

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF A MIDLIFE CRISIS

There is no set pattern to establish onset of “Mid-Life Crisis” or “Mid-Career Crisis”. Other than age, life cycle stage, and career progress; the most common signs and symptoms of mid-life crisis may include:

 

  • Anxiety
  • Abrupt career or lifestyle changes, such as quitting a job or moving homes
