There are truly many women around me who are living in style after retirement. Sometimes I envy them for their relaxed, comfortable, joyful and contented state of life.
There is a woman I know in Shanghai who just retired in September this year. It's only been two or three months, and with my husband, and a few of my good friends, I've been traveling all over the country. Just back from Zhangjiajie, rest three or five days, and non-stop to Guizhou. Immediately after, and booked a ticket to Guilin. After eating, drinking and playing to the satisfaction of Guilin, and husband and good friends in a group of six people, a seven-day trip to Taiwan. Looking at her circle of friends to share the breathtaking scenery, the three feet of food and her husband's various show of affection, let me really think, originally, life can be so beautiful.
I also have a friend's mother, an old lady of more than 80 years old, this day is not too full. There are their own circle and rhythm of life. And a year of traveling abroad by plane.
Of course, there are women around who live a stuffy life after retirement. Suddenly there is no need to work and there is no pressure. I feel that all of a sudden, I don't have a sense of being needed. The fact is that you will feel very lost inside. In addition, the rhythm of life after decades of work is suddenly disrupted, and if you are not good at adjusting and arranging according to your own preferences, you will experience symptoms such as low mood, lack of interest in doing anything, and irritability. This is the so-called retirement syndrome.
So there is no fundamental correlation between retirement and the state of life. The most important thing is the attitude of a person. A person who loves life and is optimistic, no matter whether she is retired or working, she will be able to organize her life in a busy and well-organized way. So, what we need to do is to cultivate our own strong heart and sunshine mentality. Instead of suffering for retirement or putting the good life after retirement to plan and start. Live in the moment and live each day in the moment.
