After the honeymoon....

The honeymoon of retirement

Suppose you have already retired. Let’s say you are between 65 and 70 in age, and that your first 1-2 years of retirement have been a dream. You have de-stressed, travelled and even watched daytime TV. 

But now the honeymoon is over and you have decided it’s time to get on with a seriously active retired life; in the remaining years of good health allotted to you. Maybe you want to learn a language or help in some charitable endeavour. 

There is a missing ingredient for YOU:

How to start?

First thing, it’s time to recharge those batteries. Whoops, what if you discover that your batteries have gone flat. Roadside assistance can’t help. Maybe you should have thought about that earlier.

Why? It’s because to activate a process requires energy. Activation energy is even needed when you get up in the morning. It’s the ingredient that starts a reaction, breaking apart the current state of affairs and transforming it into something new. This happens in a chemical reaction or the lighting of a fire.

In other words, to move into your new phase of life will demand energy. To move from a relaxed, de-stressed life to something pacier and more intense will not happen by will-power alone.

Where will you get that energy? It’s there, but to activate it will require effort and endurance. From YOU.

That is the answer to how to start.
