My Retirement Tips
There's something for everyone - whether it makes you reminisce, inspires a purchase, or just gives you a good laugh!😊
Below are things that I have learned over the years that have helped me to accomplish a lot and avoid a lot of stress - I hope some of them can help you - Plan your day by prioritizing tasks when you have the most energy - typically at the start of the day.
- Take time each morning to reflect on life, whether through prayer, meditation or quiet time.
- You don't need to complete everything on your list daily; retirement has fewer deadlines than work, Remember tomorrow is today's do-over.
- Before running errands or shopping, always ask your partner if they need anything.
- Stay active - it'll make you feel better and help you enjoy your downtime even more.
- After getting things done, treat yourself to a relaxing nap.
- Shopping and errands aren't social events - get what you need and save your time for what you enjoy.
- Park facing out so you can easily leave when you're done.
- You don't need to choose the closet parking spot you see; walking farther is a great way to get exercise.
- Avoid if possible driving during rush hours ( 8-9:30 AM, 4-6 PM ) land school dismissal times ( 2-3 PM ).
- Always hold onto railings when going up or down stairs - Suffering a fall at retirement age can be life changing so don't take needless chances.
- Whenever I enter a building the first thing I do is identify where the bathroom is.
- If you need to use the bathroom do it as there is no reason that you should hold it especially due to the fact that as you get older your control is not as good as it once was.
- Always sit at the end of rows in theaters or restaurants for easy bathroom access.
- When out and about, offer help to elderly or the disabled but always ask first to avoid offending anyone.
- Thank those who help you. Small gestures of gratitude can make a big difference. Every time I shop for groceries I thank the person ringing up my order and the person bagging my order and I always make sure to return the cart to the corral.
- Stay connected with friends, even if they're not retired, by sending a quick text.
- Stick to a consistent bedtime and wake-up time for better rest.
- It is ok to go to a movie or out to eat by yourself - Don't let anyone including your kids tell you that this is strange.
- Everywhere you go ask about senior discounts - The amount may not be a lot each time but the savings can add up.
- If you have pets especially older pets make time each day for them - They are part of our lives but we are all of their lives.
- Strive to laugh each day
- Strive to learn something that you never had the time for previously.
- Look for online groups that you can join.
- Check in on your kids and offer advice if prompted - You have lived a large chunk of your life so now it is your turn to listen to their concerns about their lives.
- Listening to music is a great way to improve your mood. I create my own Spotify playlists and listen to them every time I Ruck.
- Listen to Podcasts - I listen to True Crime podcasts but there are many different categories of Podcasts available
- Giving your siblings a hard time is a great stress reliever and a lot of fun.
- 🎆Shopify Store🎆 - Must have essentials, game-changing gear and trendsetting finds - all designed to boost your productivity and elevate your lifestyle. Shop smarter, live better!
