]]> 95158 1 28 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/239629/28.jpg Acknowledge your issues If you’re having problems with your career or relationships, don’t sweep them under the rug. Acknowledge what’s bothering you so you can deal with a crisis before it becomes a catastrophe.

]]> 95159 2 40 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/239629/40.jpg Reinvigorate your relationships Reinvigorate your relationships by spending more time with your significant other, children, and friends, and less time at work. The transition into midlife can provide a great opportunity to reflect on what’s really important.

]]> 95160 3 53 Tip Don’t do anything rash, like leaping into an extramarital affair or buying an expensive new car. Impulsive actions may make you feel better in the short term, but they won’t address any of the causes of your crisis.

]]> 95161 4 65 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/239629/65.jpg Exercise Eat well and exercise to combat the health concerns that often go along with getting older. Join a gym, practice yoga, or take up a new sport. A regular fitness regimen will keep you energized, feeling good about your body, and ready to tackle this next phase in life.

]]> 95162 5 82 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/239629/82.jpg Get spiritual Get in touch with your spiritual side, whether it’s practicing your religious faith, communing with nature, indulging your inner artist, or volunteering in your community. In a time when you may be searching for meaning in your life, these endeavors will provide some answers.

]]> 95163 6 97 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/239629/97.jpg Try new things Channel your restlessness into productivity. Take a class, go back to school, try new foods, read books you normally wouldn’t touch, or plan a trip. Midlife can be a tremendous time for personal growth.

]]> 95164 7 110 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/239629/110.jpg Stay positive Stay positive and focus on your strengths. As midlife approaches, feelings of regret and failure are not uncommon. Instead of reliving past disappointments, draw on your successes to lead you forward. You’ve got the best years of your life ahead of you.

]]> 95165 8 126 Fact A study found that women are twice as likely as men to feel optimistic about the future at middle age.
