After retirement, it’s important to look for new sources of meaning—activities that add joy and enrich your life. Plan to retire from something, just to try something else—whether that’s a new career, fulfilling hobby, a volunteer position, or continuing education.
Here are 6 ways to feel energized and excited about the next phase of your life.
1. How about Mind Games- reading, writing, learning a new language, playing an instrument, puzzles or electronic games.
2. Physical activity such as ballroom dancing, chair yoga, aqua fitness
3. Maybe time to connect with old friends, make new friends, and chat on zoom, facetime or skype.
4. Perfect time to dust off the bucket list; try something new-gardening, sewing, painting or a new cooking technique and or recipes.
5. You could volunteer at an animal shelter, so rewarding & bring much happiness into your day.
6. Then there are organizations desperate for support that could use your skills & experience. Saskatoon Services for seniors welcomes retired people.
