The crisis of forty-year-olds - why is it needed and what does it mean? The psychological causes of the 40-year-old crisis include many factors that can have a negative impact on our emotional and mental state. One of the reasons is the feeling of loss of youth. Concerns about this are especially relevant today, when industry and politics are making the biggest bet on youth, the mouthpieces of the era are broadcasting that “The time of the young, the time of the first” has come (I would like to ask, when will there be a time for mature people and a time for the elderly?) Can strengthen worries about this and numerous blogs of young people demonstrating youth and beauty as their main achievement. And often, people aged forty+ begin to compare themselves with them and feel that the comparison is not always to their advantage. Also at this age, many people begin to realize that they have not achieved something important in life. This could be related to career, personal life or other aspects of life. There were the same plans, but today turns out to be far from them. This awareness can lead to feelings of disappointment and depression. Stress at work is also one of the main causes of the crisis of forty-somethings. Many people experience pressure and stress at work, which can lead to serious psychological problems. In addition, many people at this age are more likely to experience health problems. What can help you regain harmony and get out of the crisis? I will give my thoughts on this matter: - The first step is to recognize your crisis and feel the desire to get out of it. If there is no desire, and the state is unclear, it is better to immediately turn to a psychologist. - The second step is to imagine, but what is it like to be “not in crisis”? Think about it without general phrases with real proposals for yourself. - The third step is to make a list of your achievements, long, meaningful, consisting of both small things and big accomplishments. - The fourth step is to invite your loved ones to add to this list of your achievements. This list is regularly we re-read, praise ourselves and rejoice. - The fifth step is to replace social and public attitudes with your own. This is a lot of work, you need to understand the attitudes, understand where they came from in your head and heart, whether I think so myself, think about what theses to change them to. I have an article about this about working from an attitude, for example, about the right to joy and rest: THE RIGHT TO JOY AND HARMFUL ATTITUDES - The sixth step is to try to allow yourself to simply live and enjoy life, regardless of the number of achievements, the implementation or non-implementation of plans .- The seventh step - we do not trigger complex mental states, but turn to specialists. In general, the crisis of forty years is a difficult period for many people. However, it is important to remember that this is a temporary phenomenon, and with the help of psychological help and support from others, you can overcome these difficulties and return to a happy and satisfying life. However, this phenomenon is useful - living and understanding the crisis can be the point from which you can start and go up. I will help you work through crisis conditions, existential searches and make life more harmonious and comfortable. You can sign up for a consultation via PM or WhatsApp +7-916-694-42-28
