Midlife: Consolidation not Crisis
It’s time to change how we view “midlife!”, for men.
What comes to your mind when you hear the term midlife?
Crisis? Getting old? Becoming invisible? Unhealthy? Time is running out? Red sports car?!!
How about we reframe midlife (roughly ages 40 to 60) as a pivotal period in a man’s life, full of opportunities?!
What are the opportunities?
1. Career change – using your experience to possibly transition into a career or business that you will find truly rewarding. Midlife can often be a time of peak financial earning!!
2. Leveraging your life/career/parenting experience to act as a mentor for others and play a vital role in the development of the next generation.
3. Prioritising your health to set you up for a life of vitality – better midlife health is a precursor for greater vigour as we get older.
4. Stepping into your leadership capacity aided by the wisdom you have accumulated by overcoming challenges.
5. Connecting to more people and groups to reap the benefits of that result from social connection and community.
