In this segment of Lifequakes, hosts Patricia Wu and Jessica Reyes dive into the stress that comes along as you approach middle age. Therapist Dr. Jude Black joins us with some helpful pieces of advice for anyone going through a midlife existential crisis.
Be Kind to Yourself
Dr. Black knows many people stress over their age, especially as people approach middle age, so you have to remember that those feelings are natural and to treat yourself with respect. Aging is nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, it’s something that should be celebrated like any other achievement.
Embrace the Journey
If you are stressing in any way about your age remember that you have made it this far. Acknowledge everything you are and have in life, and know that the story isn’t close to being over. There’s time to address any concerns you have about the direction of your life, so take a deep breath and embrace the journey.
