Supporting Midlife

Wellness

Stress, anxiety, difficulty losing weight, low energy, poor sleep, loss of patience, skin changes, hair loss, brain fog, fatigue untouched by caffeine, memory issues, digestive issues, stomach pains ….

You are diligently doing everything you always have but it simply isn't giving you the same results. You look in the mirror and barely recognize yourself. You don’t feel like you once used to - not physically, not mentally, not emotionally. You find yourself uncomfortable in your body and mentally out of balance. The sleep struggles make it hard to concentrate or stay motivated to do all the things you hear you should be doing. At times you may find yourself overwhelmed in an unrecognizable way, feeling pulled between responsibilities to your family, career, and perhaps caring for your aging parents. You know you need to take care of yourself better and you want to , but you don’t know where to start.

You are not alone.

This is a whole new stage of life, often one many people are unprepared for. We get used to surviving, doing what needs to be done and often at the expense of our wellbeing. We are reassured our “time will come” and then we find ourselves in midlife, still wondering when that time will come. Here is the thing - the time will come when we make the time come.

Midlife is a time to reinvent yourself (or find yourself!) . To self-reflect and focus on you, maybe for the first time ever in your life. Some may even go through the “midlife crisis”, where they find themselves questioning their purpose in life and where they want to go from here. What if, instead of considering it a “midlife crisis” we see it as a midlife check point:

What needs attention and support in your body and mind?

Where do you want to go from here?

Who do you want to be?

How do you want to age?
