059: How to Combat a Midlife Crisis
Episode description
A midlife crisis happens when we stop feeling excited about life.
But it's really just a calling – A calling to change or do something different.
It's the start of what Joseph Campbell calls your "Hero's Journey."
When you answer the calling and embark on the adventure to make a change, you start to feel more alive.
You'll hit challenges, discomfort, probably over some some fear, but you'll return with a new set of skills, wisdom, and attributes you can take to you family and your community.
Some common callings men experience during mid-life are to:
- get healthier
- stop being a jerk
- do more of what you love
- be more present
- or something else entirely. Only you know what's been nagging at you.
Midlife crisis or not, today's episode will lead you to answer a few questions to decide what lights you up so you can start doing more of that.
When we're excited about life, we bring more positive energy to everyone around us.
