According to the definition: “A midlife crisis is a special psychological state of a person that can occur between the ages of 30 and 50.”
In women, this condition is associated with the loss of fertility. Therefore, by about 40-45 years of age, the loss of this function is perceived very acutely in a psychological sense.
Also, the reason for the occurrence of a midlife crisis can be emotional shocks, problems at work or in the family, etc. Therefore, let's take a detailed look at how a woman can overcome a midlife crisis.
Calm down
First of all, it is worth accepting the fact that any crisis is a norm of life. Without crises, any sphere of life would turn into a kind of "swamp" that never develops.
Therefore, it is worth immediately removing thoughts on the topic "It is my fault." No, it is not your fault. Your actions could not in any way "attract" this situation.
Take care of your health
During such a period, it is very important to monitor your own health more closely. Be sure to undergo a medical examination by a therapist and specialized doctors to accurately determine whether there are any diseases or not.
If your doctor recommends a certain diet, extra rest, or vitamins, it is best to follow the recommendations.
If we talk about general recommendations, it is necessary to regulate the duration of night sleep (at least 6-8 hours), get adequate rest, improve your diet and exercise.
Improve yourself
You can often come across the theory that after the onset of a midlife crisis, a person gradually degrades. And this state of affairs causes even more stress.
Therefore, to avoid such a situation, start training your brain again. These can be the simplest exercises: changing the algorithm of habitual actions, memorizing poems/songs, developing fine motor skills, and so on.
If you feel that this is not enough for you, you can master additional professions with the help of free courses/lectures on the Internet or take paid training in the course that interests you.
Only in this case one condition must be met: all acquired skills must be applied in practice immediately after mastering them. This is due to the fact that the brain will try with all its might to return your actions to the usual "rails" of life, and you can very quickly forget the knowledge you have acquired.
Take care of yourself
The midlife crisis in women is felt even more acutely due to the fact that many ladies “abandon” themselves and devote their energy and time entirely to family, children and work.
So take care of yourself. It could be anything:
Hobby pursuits. Find something that brings you peace of mind and pleasure. Yes, it may take time. But the result in the form of your genuine joy is worth the time and effort.
Taking care of your appearance. This point is more comprehensive. It includes not only sports and proper nutrition (this was written about above), but also cosmetic procedures and creating a new image. Here it is worth noting right away that if thoughts arise: “This is only for the young!”, “This is expensive!” and similar, then consult a specialist to choose a more suitable option for you.
Look for new experiences
The midlife crisis usually occurs when children become adults and a certain limit in career growth has already been reached.
So, take some time to explore what can bring new positive emotions into your life.
This could be traveling, changing jobs, moving to another city, gardening, caring for a pet, and so on. Don't be afraid to look.
