MEN UNSHACKLED UNCHAINED.
IF ASKED TO DETERMINE THE MOST PRODUCTIVE DECADE OF ONES LIFE, WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ?
For many, the vibrancy of youthful vigour might seem the obvious choice, but that would be incorrect.
The results of a study reported in the 2018 New England Journal of Medicine report, presented surprising findings.
No, it wasn't the 20 to 30-year-old range, nor was it the subsequent 30 to 40-year-old grouping.
THE SURPRISING GROUPING BELONGED TO THE 50 to 60-YEAR-OLDS.
The second most productive decade was the 70 to 80-year-olds, while the 50 to 60-year-olds, occupied the third slot.
Do I hear a collective sigh of relief ?
Is it possible that there is a robust necessity for a ‘Mindset’ reset or discard ?
Could it be that long and tenaciously held beliefs about what is possible need to be jettisoned or unshackled ?
Is there a necessity to assess the quality of ideas which embrace outdated strategies producing puny results ?
Men in their midlife years (late 40's early 50's), when the impact of ‘Manopause’ is experienced, predictably succumb to the impact of hormonal/biological changes.
For many, the belief that their best years are behind them, engages a trajectory of self-image degradation, depression, disease, and often suicide.
QUESTIONS WHICH WERE ABSENT WHEN ENGAGED IN THEIR CONSIDERED ‘PEAK YEARS’ (LATE 30'S AND 40'S), NOW PRESENT THEMSELVES PERSISTENTLY, DEMANDING ANSWERS.
Who am I ?
What am I living for ?
Why is my marriage or significant relationship falling apart ?
I have all the toys, but life still sucks.
Why do I feel like I am less of a man than I think I should be ?
Why are the outcomes of my actions based on my beliefs so disappointing ?
Why is there less zest and more desire to rest ?
Why am I in search of ways to distract my attention from the emptiness I feel inside ?
The good news is one of optimism based on the New England Journal of Medicine study referred to earlier.
The best years are ‘AHEAD’, not behind.
It is in reality the ‘Golden years’, where a full flowering of one's potential can be realized.
In this opportunity for transformation, a birthing is possible, and so someone trained to be a Mentor, Witness, Support person becomes necessary.
This is where Mendoula (a Doula for men) is invaluable in assisting the process, as a new mindset, a new plan, and accountability are engaged.
Discomfort is a signal of aliveness in search of change.
Ignoring the summons for change occurs at the expense of resources, impacting body, mind, spirit, and finances.
