Midlife is not frequently discussed or addressed. The problems and challenges that come along with it are taken for granted and the term midlife crisis is used .
I believe midlife crisis has a negative implication to it ,hence I have reframed and coined it as Midlife Identity.
Midlife is a phase of transition in areas of work ,family life, relationship dynamics , aging ,body image and much more. All of this has an impact on your emotional, mental and personal well being.
Midlife is when you self reflect and introspect on the choices you made in the journey of your life and its outcomes, if you could do do things differently.
Maybe you missed out on opportunities due to choices you made that may lead to regret or you are in gratitude.
Time has gone by and the wheels cannot be retraced or turned back.
The impressions have been embedded.
You have to learn to accept the by-gone, and move ahead in life.
More than half of your life you have traversed ,you may feel deeply about the injustices of life that left you full of remorse and dejection
On the other hand maybe, you are filled with deep gratitude for all that life had to offer.
Whichever side of the coin you are on -
Now is the time to turn the wheels of life , give it a push forward through acceptance ,awareness and conscious choices.
In this podcast you and me shall together navigate through midlife fearlessly ,surpass midlife challenges and obstacles and rebuild your identity to leave a Legacy.
