The midlife fog usually sneaks up on all of us. You're moving through life when suddenly you realize you've been checking boxes instead of truly choosing your path. Those passionate interests from your twenties get buried under work deadlines, family needs, and the feeling that time is moving faster than ever. I noticed this pattern in my own life, even though I had made a good career change, had family counting on me, and owned plenty of tech books I used to love reading.
But remember, this phase doesn't mean something's wrong with you. You're just readjusting. Your mind is simply asking if you're still focusing on what's truly important.
Something that's worked for me is creating small personal victories each week. Not work achievements, but personal ones. Learn something new just because it interests you. Reach out to a friend you haven't spoken with in a while. Go for a walk without any podcasts or distractions. These small choices remind you that you're still in control of your life, even when things feel uncertain.
Stay strong. This isn't a failure. It's just a moment when everything shifts.ββββββββββββββββ
