Starting life anew is a kind of art, and it is worth mastering it even when everything is fine. Forty years, according to psychologists, is a kind of milestone, which is often associated with a midlife crisis. This is a difficult time when it is more important than ever to master the art of “starting life from scratch”.
Instructions
Step 1
As a rule, you have to start living anew on the rubble of the past, when you need to get out of the impasse. Forty years is the age of re-evaluating oneself. The period of summing up, counting failures and successes, gains and losses, fulfillment in the family and at work. And if such a "revision" ends disappointingly, do not despair. So, it's time to remember the aphorism from the film "Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears" - "At forty, life is just beginning."
Step 2
Start by making changes in yourself. First of all, stop feeling sorry for yourself and thinking that there are many of them, therefore, with your talents and problems, nobody needs you. No two people are alike. You are not in demand until you are interesting to yourself. Therefore, away from doubts, optimism and positive thinking should become help.
Step 3
Defeat inertia and inner fatigue, feel desire and enthusiasm. The soul has no age, and in a forty-year-old person it is still young. But the body tends to age. To slow down this process, go in for sports, join a yoga group, lead an active lifestyle, increasing the load every day. This will help not only keep yourself in constant tone, but also cope with sad thoughts about your own failure or approaching old age. Remember the wise saying "A healthy mind is in a healthy body."
Step 4
Give up bad habits (if you have any). And a sense of pride: "I can do anything!" will help to cope with all the difficulties.
Step 5
Be sure to make at least one of your cherished dreams come true. For example, learn Chinese, learn to drive, or visit Venice. This will not only cheer you up and give you pleasure, but also help you find new friends with the same interests.
Step 6
Don't focus on problems or illnesses. Take care of yourself and the quality of your life. Say no to depression. And most importantly - remember that you have only one life, you will not have another. And only you yourself can become its creator.
