The Myth of the Midlife Crisis

What a fabulous article, and bravo! for msn.com for featuring it.

As a preventive health and EQ coach, about 50% of my practice is midlifers, and I'm here to tell you this article is right-on.

I agree, and so my clients that at 40 the brains' best years are still ahead.

As the author mentions, many people turn "right-brained" - - that's why all of a sudden your orthopedic surgeon has gone to New York City to take a course in movie making, and your friend, the engineer, is all into riding horses or helping children down at the shelter. As often happens, gender is a bias in any study, and it may be that what men and women are doing at midlife is balancing their brains, their lives and their futures.

I've worked with hundreds of individuals who want to be able to access all the potential of their brain, to have the EQ knowledge to finally get their relationships and career up to speed, and who want to age well and prevent illness- - brain illness and decline including.

I have a female client who is training to be a certified Preventive Health Coach in my EQ Alive! Program who wants to set the record for selling Arbonne. Previously she had was an interior designer.

I have a male client, 65, who wants to find true love for the first time in his life. Living alone now, he says he has been close, and also had "it" for a short time, but now he wants "the full meal deal." "The purpose of life," he says, "is to love and be loved, and he's busy dating in town and on the Internet. Having made his millions, he is ready to learn more about his heart.

Midlife is most certainly a transition, and in any transition we need highly developed emotional intelligence skills. EQ generally increases into the 50s, but not always and if you're in your 20s and 30s, why wait?

Just like you should be taking care of your skin NOW, for the future, you should be taking care of your brain NOW, for the future.
