Last night I read a few articles on surviving your spouses mid life crisis (MLC). One article replaced the word crisis with 'challenge' . Brilliant! Let's call it what it is, a CHALLENGE.
Are you ready to take on this challenge? Are you ready to train for this challenge?
My challenge begins with thinking about things differently. Stopping, and choosing how I react, before reacting.
(Facts: H is facing challenges that confuse him, he's not himself, he needs change, I'm not the challenge. He's facing challenges within himself. My role in this is to LISTEN. STEP aside and let him figure out his challenge. He brought these challenges he was having up, it's up to him to take them on)
His challenges are not my challenges.
This way of thinking can be used in so many challenging situations.
YOU are in control of the way you react to situations. You may not have control of the situation, but you do have control over the way you react to it. Be positive and remember what you want from this challenge. What is your end goal when this challenge ends.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE. Don't let others challenge you. Be true to yourself in your pursuit of happiness.
