In the hectic modern life, most professionals sometimes fantasize about taking a break from work and enjoying a leisurely time after retirement.
In my imagination, it was a time to get rid of the shackles of the alarm clock and work and rest at will, away from the stress of work, stomach problems, and the unpleasantness of daily life.
But the reality is always complex and changeable, and retirement life is not as smooth as you think.
The start of a new life often comes with discomfort. At the beginning of retirement, people may feel that the days are long, that they have nothing to do, and that they may even question their worth.
In particular, managers who are accustomed to power and control in the workplace suddenly lose the power to make decisions, and the psychological sense of loss will be more obvious. Over time, this emotional swing can affect their quality of life.
Going to work and retiring, these two lifestyles have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it depends on how the individual adapts and adjusts. Time management and filling after retirement becomes especially important.
My parents, for example, also experienced a period of confusion and boredom after retirement, and they gradually found a new rhythm and joy in life by cultivating hobbies such as gardening and walking.
As an office worker, although I envy their leisure, my own life is also dominated by work, and rest time is scarce. Work not only consumes my time, but also affects my mental state to some extent.
At the same time, the financial pressure after retirement cannot be ignored. Pensions are often not comparable to what we earned when we were working, which requires us to plan financially before retirement and adjust to the cost of living after retirement.
In a factory near my home, workers are well paid when they are on the job, but their retirement income has plummeted to even half, which has a direct impact on their quality of life.
Therefore, adjusting spending habits and cutting back on expenses in advance is crucial for life after retirement.
Whether we are going to work or retiring, we need to manage and adjust with our hearts. When we go to work, we have to actively face the pressure of work and find a balance; After retirement, we need to learn to enjoy life, fill up time, and plan our finances wisely.
Every way of life has its own unique value, and the key lies in how we experience and cherish it.
For most people, retirement means a reduction in the level of work, replaced by a significant improvement in the quality of life.
The time after retirement is like a cup of mellow coffee, leisurely and quiet, allowing people to savor every moment of life.
In the morning, the feeling of waking up naturally to the sound of birdsong is nothing less than a gift of tranquility to enjoy.
Subsequently, a nutritious breakfast not only sets the stage for a good mood for the whole day.
In the days after retirement, there is no longer a need for the greasy and hurried fast food. Instead, the warmth of cooking at home is an investment in health.
Retirement also provides ample time to take care of your body, whether it's morning exercise or afternoon walks, which is a good quality of life.
In addition, retirement is also the best time to develop or deepen, whether it is painting, ** or gardening, you can add infinite color to your life.
Work and retirement are like two chapters of life, each with its own unique charm and challenges.
If you are tired from work, you may want to give yourself a short vacation to experience the leisure after retirement, so that your body and mind can get enough rest.
And if you're already in retirement and you're feeling bored, pursuing your interests and hobbies, whether it's traveling, photography, or learning new skills, is a great way to make life more exciting and fun.
No matter what stage of life you are in, the key is to find the joy in it and make it possible for you to live every life to the fullest.
