Perspectives on Navigating the Retirement Journey
Practice Makes Perfect
If only I could do it consistently!
A year ago, I started taking Tai Chi, something I’ve always wanted to do but never got around to.
In my first class, the teacher gently explained that we shouldn’t expect to experience the full benefit of Tai Chi for at least 5 years and then only if we committed to making it a daily practice. Several people didn’t come back for class two, but some of us stuck with it. Do we practice every day? Not even one of us.
Every week, I have good intentions but the best I can muser is a few minutes practice at the end of a workout or just before our class.
I’m in a future state of mind…
A good number of us of a certain age, are thinking hard about our future and how to make the most of it post career. Developing a vision of our desired future is an important part of retirement planning but many struggle to get beyond the basics.
The Relevance of Staying Relevant
What keeps us relevant while aging is not so different than what contributes to happiness and longevity…
Structure & Routine or Rhythm & Balance
Structure and routine is something that we humans need in our lives, and establishing some sort of structure and routine is important post-career. It can take time though to land on what works best for you and the lifestyle you’re pursuing.
