Check out our Real Estate Listings in the Classifieds Counseling Corner It’s Not Just Age That Brings On That Mid-Life Crisis from the American Counseling Association H ave you reached mid-life yet? It’s a simple question, but a difficult one to answer. Adolescents may see mid-life beginning at 30. Adults in their 40s may view 50 or 60 as when mid-life begins. Although experts say that mid-life is usually somewhere between 35 and 65, age is only part of the equation. More important are the feelings you have of moving between youth and your senior years, and what you do with those emotions. 651 Help Wanted The real “need” of this period is to accept mid-life as a normal part of life, and to see it as an opportunity where you can use the experience and wisdom you’ve gained to make a difference in people’s live and to contribute to society.

Classified Ads work hard for you! A COMMISSIONER WHO IS DEDICATED, ACCOUNTABLE AND FULLY ENGAGED It’s also a good time to begin exploring activities to help you feel healthy and relaxed. Starting or maintaining an exercise regime, for example, won’t make you 21 again, but is a means of making the best of where you actually are in life. Mid-life is also an excellent time to examine your life goals. Maybe you want to think about a career move or to consider social or relationship changes. It may be a time to talk with a professional counselor if you find that you need guidance in understanding the changes mid-life has brought. What are observers saying about what Commissioner Murdock has brought to Umatilla County in his first full term? Mid-life is only a crisis for someone unable to accept the changes maturing brought. When handled correctly, mid-life can be an opportunity to explore who you are and what goals you want to achieve as your life moves forward. On the subject of making the most of tax dollars: “Taxpayers don’t want public agencies that whine about not having enough money. Rather, they want those in charge to function effectively and efficiently and provide a stable level of programs and services. Commissioner Murdock is the chief budget officer for the county and he is proud of the fact the county balanced next year’s budget on February 6.” Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Alfred Adler, a major counseling influence, emphasized mid-life is a period when it’s important to separate wants from needs.
