Mid-life is a common time for the cracks to appear. That’s when people are often torn apart between raising kids, caring for elderly parents and trying to rise up in the ladder at work.
Some major decisions, related to family and personal are waiting outside the door, whom to let in?
It’s also the time when we come face to face with the life choices we have made, and the consequences arising out of it, and slowly we begin to feel that life is finite. Time is running out.
People in their mid life will often say they feel they are failing on all fronts.
Everything seems like "once upon a time" kind of. Lot of things are slipping out of hands.
A feeling of futility creeps in when they realise they don’t have the time or mental space to think about what they’re doing all this for and what their next step might be.
The relentless demands and worries coming from all sides along with the routine and monotony of their days gets to mid-lifers. Everything is there, but everything is felt missing. You are there but not there.
It's important to keep eye on yourself, as years stack up. If we make a conscious efforts to be and let be...we can tide over this phase effectively.
