They are:
1. The need to focus on fundamental relationships.
2. The need to focus on a healthy lifestyle.
3. The need to achieve balance.
4. The need to continue planning for your future.
If you are already retired or getting close to it, remember the research on successful retirements. It may seem overwhelming, but, remember, there are some helpful hints for getting started with any of the things you just read:
1. Make a list of reasonable goals. You’re not going to accomplish it all in one day!
2. Start small. If you decide that you need to clear some clutter, start with a closet, not the whole house.
3. Ask for help. If you have repairs that need to be made and you can’t do it yourself, ask for help rather than letting it go. You will be better off in the long run.
4. Take your time. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and you are certainly not going to accomplish all that we’ve talked about in one day.
5. Don’t forget to enjoy life. Yes, there are lots of things we need to be thinking about in order to ensure we have the best retirement possible, but don’t forget to take a break, smell the roses, and enjoy the retirement that you’ve worked so hard for.
6. And lastly, don’t forget to celebrate your accomplishments. Research shows that we are more productive and feel better when we do so! Celebrate that you completed your advance directives, celebrate when you clean out your closet, celebrate when you make your home a safer place. Whatever it is, take time to enjoy and celebrate.
