Do you find yourself feeling a little lost and in a bit of a slump? You might be wondering how to get out of a midlife funk, and that’s totally normal. This post shares some fun ways to get back your zest for life and move forward in a positive direction.
Here’s the thing – you might feel like you’re struggling alone, but you’re not! Plenty of people go through a midlife funk, and it’s totally normal. It’s like hitting a speed bump on the road of life. It might slow you down for a bit, but it doesn’t have to stop you in your tracks.
The “happiness slump” is a very real thing that has been demonstrated in studies. Our happiness tends to start decreasing in our late teens and hits rock bottom during our 40s. Then it starts to move upwards again.
While we are in that bottom part of the curve, it can feel like we are stuck, and we will never feel happy again. But that’s not true!
