When you are finished raising kids and you've had enough of the work force, the next glorious step is into your Golden Years, retirement. This is where you are supposed to leave your hustle and bustle daily stresses at the door and relax, immerse yourself in your passion, and freely enjoy life.
Huffington Post reports there are ways to shift into retirement minus the stress. Sure retirement has many upsides - but it can also be incredibly stressful if you aren't ready for it. Perhaps you are ready to do some traveling, start a new hobby, or just chill and take in life. Depending on your health and your mindset you can have it all. However, if you aren't ready for the sometimes overwhelming stresses associated with your Golden Year shift, it can truly be devastating.
Beware because if you don't deal with all the worries and concerns in your head they can trigger serious real issues for you that can't be ignored. The American Heart Association says extreme stress is one of the main causes for negative changes in your heart health. Something that can be prevented if you first recognize it and then choose to take action.
Proactive Steps
*Literally Follow Your Heart - Retirement is the perfect time to do all the things in life you never got a change to do before. Don't make excuses. While you are still relatively young and healthy you need to tune into your heart and passions and set them free.
*Always Work On Your Social Circles - Regardless of the changes you make in retirement it's important to maintain your social circles and create new ones. If you are traveling, try and find couples to travel with. Find new hobbies and create new friendships within these circles. WebMD states your social activity is reflective of longevity and cognitive function.
*Take Care Of Health - Your health is your number one asset. Make it a priority to eat healthy, stay active, and see your doctor regularly to prevent serious health issues.
*Reduce Daily Stress - Retirement is the time in your life you can focus on doing the things you love, not the things you don't want to do. If cutting the lawn stresses you out, hire a lawn professional to do it for you. If you lose sleep worrying about all the cleaning you need to get done, hire a professional maid service to get your house spic and span. If you find you can’t travel or you forget to pay your bills because you are at the opera or golfing eliminate this stress by hiring a company to pay your bills for you.
Peace of mind is everything and you deserve to enjoy your golden years stress-free.
