The number of people who retire is increasing every day and, although they are physically fit, for most of them it is not possible to find a new job. After working for many years, it is important to find activities that will keep you busy and happy, in order to fully enjoy your further years of life.
Steps
Step 1. Help your partner or life partner with daily chores, for example cooking, washing, tidying up, etc
You will both benefit and feel happier. When the person next to you is happy, you too become happy automatically and you appreciate every moment of life. Initially, this type of activity may not appeal to you, but over time it will become part of your routine and you will both be busy and happy.
Step 2. Earn money only if it is necessary
You may have earned a lot working and saved for your retirement. In the Western world, not many people really worry about saving for their old age. People are used to earning and spending. Asian families, on the other hand, plan their own expenses and take care to set aside their savings for retirement years. If your funds are not enough to cover your monthly expenses, you can do nothing but work even after retirement. Therefore, unfortunately, you will not be able to enjoy life fully and you will not be able to spend your money however you like, for yourself and your family. On the other hand, if you have enough money to support yourself without having to work further, the next steps will prove useful in living the rest of your life with joy.
Step 3. List possible hobbies
Get a piece of paper and a pen. Make a list of hobbies you know. Prioritize them, based on your tastes. Among the most common we can include: teaching, reading, writing, painting, drawing, listening to music, dancing, acting, playing an instrument, traveling, playing a game or sport, trading, fishing, etc.
Step 4. Plan your daily routine by consulting with your partner
You both want your own good. Your children may be busy with their own routine.
Step 5. Continue teaching at least 2 hours a day
If you have retired from the academic profession, you will certainly have no difficulty in doing so, and you will also enjoy it. Only teach subjects you know well. Remember that it will not be necessary to receive compensation in return. Teaching is a two-way process, teaching and learning. From here the knowledge of the master is doubled. You can organize seminars and presentations for the purpose of sharing your knowledge and experiences.
Step 6. Read for a couple of hours a day
Develop the habit of reading any type of book. You will greatly increase your knowledge and broaden your views. Knowledge is an ocean. It is not possible to grasp it in its entirety. For our well-being, we should also read some books about spirituality. Similarly, we should keep up to date with the latest technologies.
Step 7. Write and publish articles and books
You can write articles on various topics. You will share your knowledge through your writings, both in print and online. Write articles and post them on wikiHow. Millions of people will be willing to read and enjoy your work. Writing is a creative job. When your creation is seen and appreciated by many, you will feel happy. What more can you want? Every day you will be eager to find out the number of your visitors on the internet and you will feel thrilled.
Step 8. Draw and paint according to your imagination
Even painting and drawing are two creative passions that can give immense pleasure to the mind. When you paint using the colors of your imagination, you will feel deeply fulfilled. Even the design is able to give you a similar satisfaction.
Step 9. Listen to music and songs that you haven't had time to enjoy in your working life
The Anglo-Saxons say Old is Gold, or what is old is worth gold. Even today we love listening to songs by Mohd Rafi, Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar. Countless melodic songs are available for you to listen to and enjoy.
Step 10. Learn to dance
Dancing is one of the passions that gives the most happiness, as long as you enjoy doing it. Learn, deepen and enjoy.
Step 11. Play a musical instrument of your choice
It can become a pleasant and perfect hobby to pass the time. There is a wide variety of musical instruments. Even if you don't already know how to play, you can learn and have fun.
Step 12. Travel in your country and abroad
The world is wonderful. Travel for a week every quarter. Visit interesting places, meet new people and communicate with locals. Understand its culture. Enjoy the food. Love nature.
Step 13. Invest in the stock exchange
If you love to invest, learn to trade and invest in stocks. Try online trading, it's easy, simple and interesting. But be prepared to lose money too.
Step 14. Get involved in social activities
Participate in all family and social activities to maintain good relationships and enjoy your retirement life.
