Retirement – Elation and Excitement V Fear and Dread ?
Retirement, excitement and elation V fear and dread?
Retirement is not just the big day and the retirement send off from work or the retirement party which your family and friends throw for you.
Retirement is a process with a number of steps and stages to it. As with any process it will involve planning, consideration, making the necessary adjustments to see what works for you as the process evolves. Change will be an integral ingredient.
In the beginning you might be all fired up about the prospect of life post work. On the other hand, you may feel anxious about your life ahead in retirement.
You may well get carried away on the bubble and buzz, the energy and the kind words said at your retirement event. The freedom of the retirement bubble may last for several months into your retirement. Reality dawns – you actually have actually made the transition into this significant phase of your life. The probing questions now are:
‘How are you going to fill these additional years?
How are you going to life each day of these years?
Your answers and more importantly your actions which follow will determine the quality of your life from this point onwards.
You may have the financial capability to retire and that is great. You have a plan and have budgeted for your retirement. But are you psychologically prepared? The honeymoon period of retirement can soon fade in the first couple of years. There is only so more activities or holidays which you can fill your time with. You can get bored and find that life now is not as rosy as you had expected it to be. The sheen has worn off and you feel something is missing. But what?
This is where our programme ‘REIGNITE, Rewiring not Retiring – 7 Steps to a fulfilling and purposeful life’ supports you to effectively transition to a most exciting phase of your life.
Your life can be lived with Passion, Power, and Purpose – this is your birthright.
