Especially for Men

Do you feel like you’ve reached a crossroads in your life? Maybe you’ve been uneasy for a while, but haven’t wanted to face it. Life just feels off somehow.

If you’re discontent, you’re not alone. Most successful men hit a wall at some point in their lives. While it can be challenging to face, sometimes you just don’t have all the answers. Male discontent and depression can hit hard, or can develop slowly over time. It can lurk beneath the surface of what appears on the outside to be a pretty darn good life. Maybe you find yourself reaching for that extra drink after work, or other types of “extras” to take off the edge. You just want to feel good, and feel guilty that sometimes you simply don’t. Often sleeping patterns become disturbed. Some men find themselves prone to sleeping more; others experience racing thoughts that just don’t seem to slow down, especially at night.

Perhaps you have found yourself taking more interest in someone at work who makes you feel good. Maybe you are even sliding into an affair.

Bottom Line: When you stop and take a look at the man in the mirror you’re no longer sure you like who you see. If any of these sound like you, take heart. You can realign your thinking, and gain the clarity you need to make more solid life choices. Even if you don’t know exactly what to do to make that happen, you can regroup and realign. Reaching out for a trusted advisor to help you examine your thinking and design a road map to get back on track can significantly help when you find yourself veering off course.

Your discontent can easily affect your relationship with your spouse to such a degree that you may not feel the same desire you once did. Maybe the “grass looks greener” somewhere else, or maybe your partner is experiencing similar feelings of discontent. Have either of you contemplated or thrown out the D-word in the heat of an argument only to later regret it? Or maybe seriously question it?

Often when men are struggling with their relationships they either throw themselves into their career, or they find themselves missing meetings, unable to concentrate, and feel like they are not plugged into their work. Have colleagues begun asking you “What’s wrong?” Maybe people are commenting that you “no longer seem like yourself”.

Often people around us may notice a problem before we do.

Perhaps you have been in a successful career for a while that just isn’t lighting you up the way it used to, causing you to wonder what’s next. You may be questioning, “Is this all there is?”

If any of these sound like you, maybe it’s time for you to re-evaluate where you are in life. Maybe it’s time to carve out a new plan designed to redefine the life you want to live now, and be the man you want to be at work and at home.
