Intimacy When You Don’t Feel Intimate
Midlife changes, including hormonal and
emotional shifts, can affect physical and
emotional intimacy.
Tips and Tools:
Start by rediscovering yourself—explore
activities that bring self-acceptance and
joy, such as mindfulness, movement, or
creativity..
Rediscovering Self-Love
Cultivating self-love during midlife transitions is not about striving for perfection—it’s about
embracing yourself with compassion and curiosity.
Helpful Practices:
Prioritize self-compassion: Approach each step with kindness, replacing self-criticism
with encouragement.
Celebrate small wins: Acknowledging progress, even in tiny moments, keeps you
grounded and builds confidence.
Reconnect with passions: Exploring new hobbies or rediscovering old ones can foster
joy and fulfillment.
Create rituals: Lighting candles, journaling, or taking yourself on solo dates can reinforce
moments of intentional care.
Visualize your future self: Envisioning who you’re becoming can guide your choices and
inspire growth.
Share these moments of self-discovery with your partner to foster intimacy built on
trust and understanding.
Seek professional support or counseling if intimacy challenges feel overwhelming.
