By James White


The difference between youth and old age is that youth rely on expectations and hope while old age is about experience. This is the experience that Cynthia Olsen has shared in 7 Steps for a Healthy Youthful Midlife and Beyond Book as she highlights the struggles of midlife and how to live an enjoyable and fruitful life. Here is a brief look at some of the tips given and how they can be applied in life.

Do not refer to that stage in life as midlife crisis. It is true that you could be experiencing a crisis of a kind. However, there are bigger issues that deserve to be referred to as crisis. People have transformed their lives in their 50s and 60s. Time is still on your side if you decide to do something that you are passionate about. However, it will only happen if you are positive about it.

Do away with routines in life and begin to explore other options. This appears to be a negation of the foundations of success. It is said that you need a routine to achieve success. However, this is only at the beginning. As time goes, you need to begin to break the rules and explore new alternatives. It helps to invigorate your spirit and begin a new life.

There is nothing demanded of a particular age. These are just social expectations that can be done away with without any loss. Conforming only makes you comfortable and uncreative. Do that which pleases your heart. Do not fall to bitterness or envy your mates. Begin a new journey that is only known and pleasing to you. It is all about your happiness and not social expectations.

Shut the negative thoughts about self. It is true that some of your friends have achieved more than you. It is also true that some of your dreams remain etched on paper. While these are realities, do not berate yourself. Rather, focus on the achievements you have already made. This will give you the push you need to become a better person.

Keep old friends but make new ones. The best way to grow is to create new and more meaningful relationships. This does not translate into dropping your old friends. They have a role in reminding you where you have come from even as the new ones cheer you into new horizons.

Make an investment in your mental and physical health. There is a tendency of people overworking and forgetting their health, only to spend the money in hospitals. Fill crossword puzzles, learn a new skill like piano and write poetry, among other things for your mental health. Exercise, eat right and spend time outdoors for your physical health. Enter into competitions and challenging activities just to keep yourself youthful.

Milestones are to be celebrated. People stop celebrating birthdays because they think they belong to children. Celebrate them like milestones to remind you of what you have achieved. The minute your life lacks celebrations, passion goes and interest in the important things in life also. By celebrating, you have new fire to take you to the next level.
