It&#8217;s important to consider how this new journey will challenge and inspire you so you can take steps to enjoy, explore and embrace mental and emotional health in retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are three ways to achieve optimal wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Get Moving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Retirement is a time of well-earned rest and recovery, but many people struggle with an empty schedule after years of steady work. You may need to take some time to property decompress at the onset of retirement, but it&#8217;s best not to wait too long to put together a productive schedule for everyday life. Here are some suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Write, draw or think about how you&#8217;d like your life to look over the next few years.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Allow yourself to visualize without limitations, and use these ideas to build a practical plan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>As you do, leave room for categories such as health and wellness, education, social needs, rest and spiritual or mental growth.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br>Scheduling structured time every day for exercise, social gatherings, phone calls, medication, spiritual practices or knowledge expansion can further help you shift into a new, healthy rhythm of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Give Back<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that activities centred on the needs of others provide fulfillment and balance to our lives. Where do you see need in your life or community? You may feel inspired to cook meals for an elderly neighbour. Perhaps your love of gardening will lead you to join an environmental project, or through your work experience you can provide mentorship to someone just starting their career. Retirement is a time for your own fulfillment, but you may be surprised at how giving to others can boost your mental health and wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. (Re)discover your passion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people view retirement as a quiet time of relaxation, but it can also be an existing time to rediscover your interests, passions, and the roads you haven&#8217;t yet travelled. Retirement offers an opportunity to find a new purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you start off on this journey, here are some questions that may lead you in an exciting new direction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>What did you love doing as a teenager?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Is there an instrument you always wanted to play?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>What&#8217;s the one place you&#8217;ve always dreamed of exploring?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Would you enjoy having a pet?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>When did you feel most happy?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>How could a group class help you explore who you are?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>What is one hobby you always wished you had more time for?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0If you&#8217;re looking to use this time to learn new things, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goboomerang.com\/?utm_source=RBC-D%25252526L&amp;utm_medium=D%25252526L-article&amp;utm_campaign=Content\"><u>Boomerang<\/u><\/a> \u2014 an RBC Ventures company designed to help Canadians who are approaching or living in retirement form social connections.
