The New Middle Age: What Is Middle Age and Does It Really Mean What We Think?
even believe that middle age spans from 40-60 . To use those numbers means to believe that middle age runs from 30 to 70! Which is the better part of a person’s whole life.Just like beauty, the impact of middle age seems to lie in the eye of the beholder. “Middle age experiences differ vastly from person to person,” explains Dr. Hill. “Some people describe middle age as a time they feelas internalized experiences from young adulthood help them succeed in unexpected and new ways.
While she says this contemplation can sometimes result in that oft-mocked mid-life crisis, Dr. Hill says that those seemingly out-of-characteristic changes may actually be the result of a simple “desire for positive change” that prompts some people to go out and buy that sports car they’ve always wanted or to suddenly change careers.
Ditzel agrees that what outsiders sometimes view as a crisis may actually be a reassessment of what’s important. “For example, we often think of people who make a large purchase, quit a job, leave a marriage, or have an affair when we describe a midlife crisis,” she says, adding that those actions may actually be the results of someone who is struggling with their own bird’s eye view of their life.
Additionally, Ditzel says some people may even find themselves entering a whole new chapter at that mid-point of life. “For example, children may be getting older anddependent.”Dr. Hill says that one of the wonderful parts of middle age is that most people have more autonomy and ability to make changes than at earlier life stages. “Leading a values-driven life has been shown to lead to more life satisfaction, health, and longevity.” To do this she suggests getting a bit morbid.
