Today’s Tip from Gordon Graham highlights the importance of viewing retirement as a journey, not just a destination.
Retirement may initially seem like an escape from the daily grind, but the excitement can wear off, leading to feelings of boredom, unimportance and isolation, particularly for those retiring from public safety.
To counter these challenges, it’s crucial to build a social network, stay connected with former colleagues and develop interests outside of work, such as physical activities or hobbies. Furthermore, establishing a new identity beyond one’s professional life by setting goals, considering part-time work or volunteering and learning new skills can also be beneficial.
