Have you recently celebrated your fortieth birthday and feel less than thrilled about being over the hill? Are you in your early or mid-forties and feeling in a bit of a funk? Or are you in your late forties and have lost that luster you once had? Do you feel anxious about how you will navigate the nuances of your fourth decade of life? You are not alone if you answered “yes” to these questions. As it turns out, you are dealing with what researchers call the midlife dip, and this guided journal is the key to getting you out and moving you upward and onward to a better forty-something life! Like most major life transitions, the proverbial midlife crisis is challenging; however, many find their forties the most brutal years of their life. The challenges, realizations, and (rude) awakenings you will face in your early midlife will be amplified by the uncomfortable, the unsettling, and the unfamiliar. Even if you have read several midlife self-help books, sought advice from your forty-something friends, and have put in the work to discover who you are—or were—in the past, there is an element of “age shock” you will need to work through before becoming the best version of your mature self. Working through this journal will expedite the midlife acclamation process, boost your confidence and comfort levels in this chapter of your life, and set you up for success in ways you never imagined. This 52-week guided journal aims to help you identify, reflect, and process your thoughts, feelings, goals, and achievements in this decadent decade of life. This journal includes the following: • Pre- and post-year SWOT analyses to help you see what a difference a year makes. • Monthly goal-setting sheets that break your main goals into manageable chunks. • Reflection questions (over 200) to spark new insights and get you out of the dip. • Lined journaling pages to record daily thoughts, feelings, and progress. • Weekly check-in pages to zoom out and get a big-picture view of your progress. So, get ready to turn up, turn over a new leaf, and turn the pages and journal through the journey of your forty-something life!
