A midlife crisis is a condition that can occur
anytime between one’s thirties and sixties. It

How to Deal with Midlife Crisis

1. Don't Presume Every Cough is Lung
Cancer.
Don’t visit your healthcare provider every
time you notice any symptom that lingers
for more than twelve hours. This is not in
any way helpful and it doesn’t make you
very popular with you doctor. This is
because once an illness has been treated,

yourself also because you are not as
perfect as you think. So save yourself
from embarrassment by not hanging out
with people way younger than you or by
imagining that they like you.
3. Don't Worry Obsessively About Work.
Don’t be too obsessed with a particular
job because it is most probably to end in
disappointment. Just be thankful you
have a job, but if you don’t have, try to
take pleasure in believing that lots of
people will lose their jobs in the next few
years. If used wisely, Schadenfreude can
be a helpful therapeutic tool.
4. Don't Transfer Your Neurosis on to Your
Kids.
There are reasons why kids have limited
talent and that’s because they need you
most as a parent. Don’t get overly worked
up about their extra home assignments
and other little responsibilities you need
to carry out for them. It is the standard,
and you must play your role in their
lives. You just have to accept them as
they are.
5. Create New Goals.
If the current plan for retirement is
getting bored to you, change of plan may
help. Decide on where to live during
retirement or whether to keep on
working with your...........
