It seems that we are a society entranced with youth and good looks; retirement to many of us can be a symbol of aging and lack of direction. For most of our lives we have been obsessed with a hard work ethic and constant deadlines associated with a great deal of responsibility. There are many of us who have never slowed down from work and all of the pressures associated with it, and now faced with retirement we may be depressed and frightened. There may be fears about leaving the comfort of the workplace. Still, other unknown factors about how you will use all of the time available to you.
In order to enjoy retirement, you must give up the concept that to fear retirement would be comparable to fearing life. So get rid of the fear of retirement and think instead that retirement is not what you are giving up, but what you are gaining. Retirement is a time that you can start doing what you want to do and not what someone else is telling you to do. Think of retirement as living a life that you want to live rather than living a life that someone else wants you to live
There are many positive things about retirement.
As you begin to list the positive aspects of retirement. you will get rid of your depression and find many interesting things to do . You might even wake up each day and think why didn't I do this retirement thing earlier.
