Did you know that retirement might be hazardous to your health? Experts are discovering that the once the social interaction and collaborative environment of the workplace is no longer a part of one’s daily life, many retirees suffer from social isolation and struggle with their health and depression.
According to an article by Independent, the sudden abundance of free time can prove difficult for some retirees to navigate. Fortunately, they’ve come up with a list of tips on how to ease into this new chapter of life.
- Consider a gradual transition into retirement, perhaps through contract work or consulting.
- Become a volunteer.
- Go for a walk with friends. This is good for your mental and physical health.
- Join a club with people who share your passion. Retirement is the perfect time to explore an area of interest or start a new hobby.
- Schedule regular calls with your family.
Council of Seniors is Looking Out for Retirees
Maybe you want to get involved in a political cause that would have a positive impact on you and your peers.
Consider joining the Council of Seniors in urging lawmakers to passThe SAVE Benefits Act. This crucial bill will put $581 back in seniors’ pockets to make up for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) that were far too low for years. Greedy Washington politicians want to use seniors’ hard-earned money in other ways, but we’re dedicated to giving it back to those who are rightfully entitled to it.
