Difficult midlife emotions...

You have managed to go with the ups and downs of your adult emotions, when something strange happens. Seemingly from nowhere these difficult emotions pop up:

😔 Regret: You look back at your life and regret missed opportunities or choices you made. You might feel nostalgia for the past.

😟 Anxiety: Looking ahead into the unknown, the uncertainty of aging, health, and financial security can bring about anxiety.

😢 Loss and Grief: Midlife can be marked by the experience of loss, such as the loss of parents, a marriage, a job or the kids going out of the house. You might also grief the vision you had for your life when you were young, which but didn’t manifest.

😨 Fear of Aging: The physical changes and aging process can evoke fear and vulnerability. You might feel challenged by the thought of death and entering into the second half of the natural cycle of life.

🤔 Identity Turmoil: You may question who you are and who you want to become. These existential questions can be very unsettling.

Midlife is an important natural turning point.

Our psyche asks us to step up, change perspective and change the leader of our life from ego to Self.

It can be a really challenging phase, we feel like on quicksand. What we have built our life on is not holding anymore.

And all this is happening, because inside our psyche, there is a major shift going on.

Till now, our imprinting, our social conditioning, our learned rules and behaviors were leading our lives, like on an autopilot program.

But at midlife, we are called to connect to our true Self and lead our lives from there.

It’s like a major change of management and inner restructuring.

And this can feel very unsettling!

Midlife is a complex and unique journey of growth, self-discovery, and transformation.
