Life after Retirement

Job occupies a big part of our life. We are engaged in different kinds of works throughout life. We do job or business or make money anyhow. Time passes away. Our age increases and strength is reduced. The time of retirement comes. How everything changes!

Complex diseases in older age such as: diabetes, arthritis, bone loss disease, heart disease, cancer, high cholesterol, hypertension etc. remain along with anxiety and depression. Because of having mental problems, aged people cannot follow the treatment methods of physical illness. As a result, their physical condition becomes worse. Depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, scared to death, schizophrenia, mania etc. are appeared. The quality of lifestyle becomes very lower. Sometimes they are neglected much. Even suicide tendency is seen among many of them.

Retirement time might be beautiful. For this, the retirees as well as the society have responsibility. After retirement, to reduce mental problems you can follow the following rules:

Consider retirement time as perfection. You have done enough throughout your life. Now, it is your right of taking rest and living in joy.

Do not care negative thinking. Even, do not call them by mouth. Not indulging in despair, be optimistic.

Avoid all kinds of criticism. There is no need to take responsibility of all the people of the world to show them right paths.

For retirement, make plans earlier. Save money so that you do not face poverty. Make a real plan how you will keep yourself busy in post-retirement period.

Never think that you are old. Thinking old means old. If you do not think, your mind will be fresh. Your body will be good also.

Develop friendly relations with children, husband or wife. Settle all kinds of disputes before retirement. Stay with grandchildren and play with them. Tell them stories, take them to school and help them. Mind it, being serious, being a source of fear are not a matter of pride.

Keep in touch with your roots. Go to your relatives and childhood friends. Establish a new meaning of life.

At the time of retirement, do something which you really enjoy doing.

You can do meditation. Walk regularly. Walking half an hour daily is not bad. Find out a partner for a walk. It will make your walk easy and interesting.

Take balanced diet. Keep your blood pressure, blood glucose and cholesterol levels under control. Control your body weight.

Take necessary treatment. Make medical checkup regularly. Start treatment if any problem is diagnosed. You can take physiotherapy for pain if needed. You can also take psychotherapy to reduce anxiety and depression.

Sleep adequately. However, do not sleep much. To pass time, make garden, plant trees.

Engage in household chores. Maintain a healthy routine of life
