After experiencing the hard work and struggle of their youth, many men will re-examine their lives when they turn 40. During this process, some men may engage in rebellious behaviors similar to those they did during adolescence: having an affair, running away from home, drinking excessively, and suspecting life... Recently, an online article titled "Online Doctor of Medicine" in the United States provided advice and guidance to 40 year old men to help them navigate the crisis smoothly.
40 year old crisis performance:
Feeling dissatisfied with the current state of life. Dr. Calvin Coraluso, a professor of psychiatry at the University of California San Diego in the United States, pointed out that after their 40th birthday, many men feel entangled and dissatisfied with their current lives, feeling that their careers are not smooth, their marriages are unfortunate, and they have wasted too much time in life. They also feel that they have been struggling hard and not enjoying life well, and even have resentment towards everything around them.
Can't wait to change the status quo. Faced with changes in oneself or surrounding things, such as aging face, decreased physical strength, or the passing of friends or parents, men may become anxious and eager to change themselves. A certain social status and economic foundation gave them the opportunity to change, so middle-aged men began to seek new lives.
A rebellious behavior. Some men may become more concerned about their appearance in search of new stimulation and happiness, have an affair, run away from home, suddenly resign, or even abandon their family. Some reckless decisions, such as developing personal relationships with young girls and excessive consumption, may bring devastating consequences to their lives.
Suggestions for 40 year old men:
Don't let yourself deviate from the right track. Crisis can lead to disaster, and if you cannot adjust your mindset well, you will fall into a vicious cycle, bringing shadows and even cracks to your own and family's lives. Therefore, it is important to grasp the focus of life and not let oneself go too far and deviate from the right track of life.
Don't let your inner feelings dictate. You may really want to get rid of the stagnant and boring family life, but that doesn't mean you have to put it into practice. The unpleasant feelings that arise at this time are actually reminders to learn to find inner peace and tranquility, as some problems may disappear over time.
Consider loving your loved ones. To want to be happier, one does not necessarily have to subvert the reality of life. If you really want to make a change, think twice before acting, and consider the harm your behavior may bring to loved ones.
Don't keep things in your heart. You may be calm and introverted, but the oppression you hold in your heart can be like a constantly increasing weight, overwhelming yourself and possibly leading to the ultimate irrational behavior. Therefore, before making a change, consult with the person you trust the most and ask them to help you determine what constitutes a wise decision.
Ask yourself if your beautiful vision is realistic. When imagining a new 'happy life' in the future, it is important to calmly consider whether these behaviors are realistic and whether they can be controlled by you.
