The Middle Aged Slump
This morning I was watching the second half hour of the Today Show. Focus on happiness in life and the middle year slump we all fall into. Seems there is a lot of research that focuses on happiness. Check it out here.Our happiest years are when we are young (before 30) and when we are old-er (after 60ish). We are either full of hope and promise with great dreams, or as we move into those later years, we become satisfied that what we have is ok. It’s those #$%@ middle years, when reality sets in and we know that those dreams we held so dear are unlikely to come true, that we enter the slump. And we stay there for years!!!!
Our bodies begin to change, relationships change, work changes, life changes… We drag ourselves around until finally, when it is clear that nothing is going to ever stay the same, or bring us back to those happy days of youth, we finally resign ourselves to reality, look around and say “This actually isn’t so bad.” that we snap out of it and become happy again.Well, do I buy this? I’m thinking about it.
