There certainly are several things that we are able to gain from some people who have made the transition into the kind of life that they wanted. Some would say that they were "happily retired", even though others won't even accept to being retired at all! That's the point-- this next stage of your lifespan will be about living the kind of life that YOU decide. It could involve work, it perhaps travel or it perhaps learning and doing fresh things!
It depends on you.
When you retire and your kids have left home, it's easy to feel as though you have nothing left to complete. But older people may still have career targets and path, just differently,
The key, she says with a nod to Jimmy Buffett, is having an attitude of gratitude: Be thankful of what you've done and where you've been, and eagerly anticipate more of the same.
1. Sign up with a Fitness center
Amazed? Not only will you have some exercise, but you may also make good friends and join self-reinforcing team activities.
Making dates with your gym friends fills up your timetable and offers you something to expect.

"If you're confined to a wheelchair, you may still move your arms or even your eyebrows-- that's like doing exercise
2. Keep Your Hobbies
What were your favored activities before you retired-- crocheting, gardening, dancing, or golf? There's no reason to quit now, Moll says. You may need to change your hobbies to match your physical capacities, but you can absolutely and really should still do things you appreciate most. "Adjust what you enjoy to match what you're can to do right now," she says.
3. Get Politically Enthusiastic
Old men and women have time to show up at city board conferences and talk about their understanding and their experience, Dr. Kennedy says. Think about dealing with the campaigns of candidates whose views you appreciate. If you're incapable to head to campaign headquarters, Moll says, offer services to make call from your residence.
4. Volunteer
The neighbourhood food kitchen or public library may very likely use your help, and so may possibly area hospitals and nursing homes. Volunteering will get you out and with people of all generations, Kennedy says, and having to be somewhere to do anything frequently will keep you feeling wanted.
7. Immerse Yourself in Culture
Trying to keep involved intellectually is as crucial as keeping involved physically, Kennedy says. Arrange visits to local art galleries, museums, and science centers to get to know new things and find what you are able to remember. If you aren't mobile, you could explore many cultural institutions online.
8. Get involved in Games
Find friends or members of your church or senior center who have an interest in bridge, poker, or similar interests, and create a team that meets regularly to play. Can't meet? Play chess or other games online.
