EXPERT ADVICE TO NAVIGATE YOU TOWARDS A FULFILLED LIFE

OUR MIDDLE YEARS CAN BE SOME OF THE MOST REWARDING, A PERIOD OF

GROWTH, REINVENTION, EVEN SELF-REALISATION. THIS CAN BE A TIME FOR REASSESSING WHO

YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT. BUT THAT’S NOT TO SAY THAT THEY SAIL BY WITHOUT A HITCH.

EVENTS BEYOND OUR CONTROL CAN MAKE US FEEL STUCK OR LOSE DIRECTION. IT COULD BE SOMETHING ENTIRELY NORMAL LIKE A LANDMARK BIRTHDAY, OR THE FAMILY GROWING UP AND LEAVING HOME. BUT IT COULD ALSO BE AN UNEXPECTED BOMBSHELL SUCH AS REDUNDANCY OR THE BREAK-UP OF A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP. THERE IS NO ONE ROUTE THROUGH MIDLIFE AND BEYOND. INSTEAD THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS THAT CAN RANGE FROM THE MAJOR (WHERE DO

I WANT TO LIVE? HOW CAN I GO ON EARNING?), THROUGH TO THE SMALLER THINGS (IS A POTTERY COURSE FOR ME? HOW DO I LEARN BETTER TECH SKILLS?).

BUT LOSING DIRECTION FOR WHATEVER REASON CAN ALSO ACT AS A TRIGGER FOR CHANGE.

THE BEST NEWS? “WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ISN’T OUT THERE – IT’S WITHIN YOU,” INSISTS LIFE COACH AND AUTHOR CAROLE ANN RICE. “EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS WITHIN YOU, YOU JUST NEED TO FIND YOUR KEY, UNLOCK IT AND START LISTENING TO YOUR INTUITION.”

SO, WHERE TO BEGIN?
