40 + must meet Midlife Crisis Ahead.

๐Ÿ’ก the idea from the book "8 Ways to Consciously Transcend the Midlife Crisis," ๐Ÿ“” a book that doesn't come to teach you "ugh," but will invite you to "stop" to hear the voice in your heart more clearly.

1๏ธโƒฃ, before you change anything, you have to admit that we are critical.

2๏ธโƒฃ The moment you don't know what to do. It's probably the best time to start listening to yourself.

3๏ธโƒฃ Letting go of old beliefs, many of them are not wrong... they just "expire."

4๏ธโƒฃ back to the present, because a life that fits is a life that's still grown up... but not forced.

5๏ธโƒฃ dismantle a corrosive relationship by letting go of someone who has never really held our hand.

6๏ธโƒฃ live a lighter life by cutting it off and keeping it for what makes us feel really good.

7๏ธโƒฃ No one is too late for middle age to start again, not waiting for the beginning, but "ready to start" as far as available.

8๏ธโƒฃ practice being uncertain, because the tightest thing is to try to control everything from going wrong.

What Midlife Awakening Really Looks Like
Midlife awakening doesnโ€™t look the way I thought it would. Itโ€™s not dramatic. Itโ€™s not aesthetic. Itโ€™s not candles and clarity. Itโ€™s discipline. Itโ€™s boundaries. Itโ€™s learning how to regulate instead of react. For me, movement became part of my spiritual practice. Not for appearance.
