Start here...
Well, you can start here and go view this, listen to the words:

and then here;

and then read this;
'The Joy of Burnout - How the end of the world can be a new beginning' by Dina Glouberman
Consider a holiday here;

Or you can have the heart attack, or the break down, or the panic attacks, or the breathing problems, or the agroaphobia or all of them and end up in A&E several times.
Mid life crisis are much joked about but many die and many get completely ****ed up by them.

So suddenly dying your hair blue, shagging students and riding Harleys is a sort of "grab what you can with what's left" kind of reaction.
How long does this last?

Two of my neighbours (both in their 50s) have bought Harleys in the last year.
They use them about once a month, driving very slowly and wobbly aound Surrey before bringing them back to be lovingly polished for a couple of hours.
My midlife crisis is going to be more fun than that.

e.g. start it early, say around age 30 and make it last as long as possible.
Far more fun. Besides I probably won't make it to "mid-life" age anyway what with my "enjoy life while it lasts outlook" so best to start early or I would just miss out.
Take a look at one of those lists of "100 things to do before you die", pick some you fancy doing and just get on with it. Do you want to be on your death bed thinking "I wish I'd done xxxxx".
