Midlife Crisis is said to be characterized by drastic lifestyle changes. It can be illustrated as the time one wants to restart their life and become a different person.  Men who face this phase will feel confused and want to somehow improve their lives not really understanding how and why. Though this may be a very challenging time, the good news is that this is the time to enter an entirely different life, one that will take you where you want to go. The best way to discover the ‘new’ real you is to go on a self discovery journey.

You can consider a climb on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania that can last from one to three weeks including five to eight days of climbing. This physical challenge is a great way to clear your mind and get rid of any temporary emotions and see things from a new perspective. Spending this time with fellow climbers, some who may be in the same boat as you are, will make the trip even more fulfilling and adventurous.

For a more spiritual journey, a glance at the magnificent Golden Temple in Amristar, India will make you feel so insignificant and weigh matters better. Covered in 365 pounds of solid gold, the temple is the perfect antidote for confused minds. The temple is visited by over 3,000 pilgrims daily.

Capturing nature at its best is another mind calming activity. Head to the Tibetan Plateau and photograph your way to sanity. The plateau is said to be diminishing slowly but its wonderful scenery remains as mighty as tourists know it, showing no hint of defeat. You will definitely feel that strange feeling that travellers usually have on this tour.

Thinking of a new career? How about trying out your hands with the cabinet makers in Thos. Moser in Auburn, Maine? Learn the art of woodworking and witness experts at work –this may just be the ‘calling’ you’ve been waiting for.

Those who have experienced surfing will agree that when all things go wrong, catching a nice wave is a sure remedy. Pack your bags and head to one of the Pacific Islands like Fiji where it is believed that the ocean is the source of youth!

That dreaded midlife crisis doesn’t have to be a crisis. It can in fact turn out to be one of the most exciting parts of your lives. Like they say, ‘life begins at 40!’
