Midlife crisis or an Awakening?

I’ve worked with many clients who were experiencing what would be considered a Midlife Crisis. I don’t see it as a crisis but as an awakening. It might feel like a crisis, but if you can open up to what “the crisis” is teaching you, you can soar.

By the time of midlife, many people have become more clear of what they want, what they like, what does and doesn’t work, and they seek to find real solutions.  Midlife brings up questions about the things we heard or were taught that were SUPPOSED to work for us. Many of us have lived with the idea that in order to be happy, we need to do something first and THEN we will be happy.

This might sound controversial for some of you. We are taught to put others first. Many of my clients have put others first only to feel depleted, frustrated, empty, and betrayed. What if we could shine our light from inside out instead of trying to get our light from the outside in? Putting yourself first is not selfish. It is full of self care and who would know better than you, what you need? If you are love starved, you don’t have much, if anything, to share. Oh, but when you feel fulfilled, when you are living congruently, and when you feel satisfied, you can share your joy, your love, and your kindness from a filled up heart.

So how can you get filled up? Pay attention to what midlife is trying to teach you. There is a great gift that can come from midlife adversity. Consider it as a nudge to figure out what you REALLY want. What really brings you joy? What part of you got buried under the pressure of life? What beliefs and assumptions do you believe to be true but might not be true for you? Pay attention to what you love, and what brings you an internal smile.

Midlife is a time of big change for many. Children grow up and leave home. Parents might have some big health challenges and pass on. Careers might end or be ended. This is the time for exploration, and a new beginning. Will you see it as such or will you get buried under heavy emotions and situations?

How do you come out from the rubble? You don’t just have to “live with it”. Tapping is a tool that is very effective to release patterns and loops that keep replaying. If you feel stuck and unhappy, then consider exploring Tapping with me. Tapping changes your energy, releases your stuck emotions, and actually releases the past from your mind, body and spirit. How do I know? I went through a heck of a midlife crisis that rocked every part of me. I got laid off. People got ill. My family died. I had to figure out life on my own terms…and it was scary. However, I found MY WAY!

You don’t have to wait for a shake up to get into action to live YOUR life. If you are dragging through life, feeling tired, lost, frustrated or just feel awful, I would be happy to show you how to change those patterns, and enjoy the real you!
