Aspire Magazine: Inspiration for a Woman's Soul.(TM) Oct/Nov 2016 Aspire Mag Full Issue | Page 44
If we look at the journey, moving forward –
how much of it can we place and do to create
the life we desire. Yes, there will be factors
outside of our control that will happen. But,
if you could be the designer of your own
life, what would you do to ensure certain
aspects happen that you want? So when
you look back in 40+ years, your journey of
your life is like shells on a beach - treasures
amongst the miles of sand.
Here are 6 reflective
processes to help you tap
into your authentic truth and
navigate your midlife journey:
1
Meditate – Take some time to
breathe and create space for your
heart and mind and soul to connect.
2
From a distance, as if you are a
spectator of your own life, visualize
your life from your 20’s and 30’s.
What did you love? What do you
regret? What would you change
and can you do something about it
now?
3
Think about your feelings in your
current state. Are you happy? Are
you fulfilled? Do you love your job?
What are you doing that is nurturing
for you?

If you had no restrictions, what would
you want your next 40 years to look
like? Are there items on a bucket
list to accomplish? Are there things
you aren’t doing out of fear? Are you
focusing on just surviving? Are you a
priority or have you relegated you to
the last place on your to-do list?
5
At 80 years old, what do you want
to look back and be proud of? What
feelings do you want to experience?
How will you transition to the next
phase – will it be with a sense of
fulfillment? Or angst and regret?
6
hat wisdom will you have
W
developed and whom would you
pass it along to? What would be
your advice to the next midlife
generation? How can they have an
impact on their own lives and the
lives of others?
Midlife can be a wonderful experience! A
time to let go, breathe, love yourself, and
create the life you deserve! It takes courage
and strength, but you can do this. Your entire
life to this point is part of who you are, but it
doesn’t have to define you. Go out and do!
Go out and get! Go out and be! Embrace it!
Your future self will thank you for it!
