Happily Retired

The best way to maintain a happy lifestyle for newly retired folks is to A.G.E.:

A = ASSISTING OTHERS:

Research overwhelming shows that when we help others out, we feel happier. So find a group about which you are passionate (children, animals, nature) and look for ways to help them out. This is a great way to apply your passions, strengths and values, all of which are part of The Happiness Prescription.

G = GRATEFULNESS:

So often people are focusing on the negative (what's wrong) as opposed to what is actually going right.

Sure, you may have lost a lot of money with the economy, but I bet there is still much good. If you can take a breath on your own, have people who love you, had a kitchen we you readily have food and water, why not appreciate those?

Ask yourself, what would I miss most about today if I lost it all tomorrow? Then start being grateful for and appreciating it. And every night write down 3 things about which you are grateful.

E = EXERCISE:

Research shows that exercise is as effective as anti-depressant medications for people with depression. Exercise also reduces stress, boosts confidence, improves sleep and enhances libido.

Sounds like a wonder drug to me. Look for ways to exercise that are fun and safe for you.
