In the opening chapter of our book Midlife, New Life: Living Consciously in Midlife and Beyond, we introduced the Conscious Living Wheel. This Conscious Living Wheel is our way of structuring the essential aspects of living consciously and provides a visual framework for the chapters of the book. Each ellipse represents a chapter in the book.
The book was published one year ago. During the month of February, we are posting articles, quotes, and testimonials as we celebrate this first year since publication. We are grateful to everyone who has bought a copy of the book and those who have provided positive feedback to us individually as authors and for the reviews on Amazon and other online bookstores. Thank you to all our readers.
Our life purpose is at the core, the heart center, from which all other aspects of the wheel radiate. Chapters on Living Well, Appreciating Money, and Working for a Living and for Working for Fulfilment may be considered foundational elements on the roadmap to the future. The challenges we face here will be different for each of us. Our ever-changing relationships are a challenge for most of us at some time or another in the second half of life and the chapter on minding relationships provides important insights. Chapters on creativity, where to live and where to visit, technology, and resilience are relevant for many readers, and with more available time in later life, helping humanity is an opportunity to make the world a better place to live and work.
Navigating transitions in midlife and beyond can be challenging, and you may be reluctant to embark on some of the deep reflections needed to move forward. We invite you to read the book with an open mind and an open heart, fully prepared for these challenges. With the education, insights, and conscious living practices provided, we hope you will be inspired to imagine a better life and go forward to live the life you imagined.
