Understanding the Retirement Process
Here
is a definition of retirement,
“When we realize that we are no longer in the work role that we have
come to identify with.” After
retirement we expect to have economic support without holding a job.” My Family
gets enough to pay our bills. We also have more opportunity to manage our
time. It’s ok to work part time
and engage in activities like developing retirement workshops and producing
information on the Internet (chuckle).
Some
have suggested that retirement is a move from the ‘work ethic, to the “busy
ethic” which is the idea that our lives should be active and full. This
includes leisure activities that go beyond self-indulgence. I love it when
people visit Art with Wrinkles’
Another
element is the ideas that in retiring we go through several phases that start
out with the honeymoon phase in the beginning and termination at the end
But
when it comes right down to it instead of trying to figure out what stage we
are in; how we are feeling about where we are at and how we interpret or
retirement is the most important.
For example do you think about retirement in favorable or unfavorable
terms? Are you happy or sad, angry
or accepting, anxious, fearful or optimistic?
For
those of you who have been retired for a while, have there been changes in how
you feel?
One
factor present in our experiencing including both work and retirement is
Stress!!. Over the past several
years I have become more aware of my stress and sometimes what’s triggering it.
I am now regularly meditate and this is doing a good job of reducing
stress. Here is the information I
have regarding my retirement blog’.
1. Between 2010 and 2014 I have had
5.423 visit from all over the world.
2. I have had 2,125 visits from 49 of
the United States
3. I have had 1,741 visits from Canada.
4. I have had at least one visit from
97 other countries.
My Art with Wrinkles blog has had a much fewer number of
visits. But that’s ok. Art,
painting and poetry are just fun to make.
