After retiring at the end of October last year, I often met with former colleagues and asked me: How is your retirement going?
To be honest, in just five months, it was really a flick of a finger, and I barely felt the flow of time passing, and when I remembered the situation when I went to work, it seemed that it was something that happened last month.
I think for most retirees, no one knows what they're going to do when they retire, and everyone is on the path of continuous self-discovery.
So do I.
After retiring, I did a lot of things that I hadn't done before, and I experienced some life that I hadn't experienced before, which gave me a feeling that I had never felt before.
Here is a share with you.
One is to experience what it's like to be a farmer for the first time
I may have participated in the work organized by the school when I was a child, and I always had a sense of intimacy with going to work in the fields.
After retiring, for a month, I went to work in the field contracted by my relatives, watering, pulling and picking up grain, although it was a bit hard, but for me who had been sitting in the office for a long time, I experienced the happiness and relaxation of pure manual labor, which I could not perceive when I sat in the office before.
The second is to participate in an annual companion camp of the official account
Because of being an official account, I participated in an annual companionship camp of the official account, and the friends in the group are all my peers, everyone discusses and learns together, asks the teacher if they don't understand, and learns while doing.
This allowed me to get rid of the previous state of only burying my head in the car and never looking at the road, so that my official account has achieved rapid development in a short period of time.
The third is to start paying more attention to how you feel
After I retired, I spent a lot of time studying psychology, and as my knowledge of psychology increased, I began to learn to love myself, to take care of my feelings, and to meet my own needs. I understand that only by loving myself first can we have the ability to love others.
At the same time, I also began to accept this not good enough self, and in the face of failure, I no longer belittle myself, I don't demand myself, and the phenomenon of internal friction has been significantly reduced.
Fourth, it is the first time to experience the sojourn life
It's been five months since I retired, and for three of those months, I spent three months in Hainan and experienced what it's like to live in Hainan.
There are many comments on the Internet about living in the hotel, but it is up to you to experience it yourself.
Fifth, for the first time, I started to like taking pictures
Now I have begun to learn to take pictures with my mobile phone seriously. Because I like to take pictures, my lifestyle has changed to some extent.
In the past, when I went out, I didn't pay much attention to my surroundings, but now I start to capture all the beautiful moments in life in order to take pictures, and I used to like to stay at home, but now I am willing to go out of the house and get close to nature in order to take beautiful pictures.
Sixth, the time spent reading has increased several times compared to the original
After I retired, I started reading a lot, especially psychology books. Whenever I started reading a book, it was hard to put it down, and now the time spent reading books every day has increased several times more than before.
Seventh, the account is updated for the first time
Since the month I retired, I have made a plan for myself to update my account every day. There have been a few plans before, but the longest lasted less than three months, and then it was lying flat and rotten.
This time it's been more than five months, and as time goes on, I'm gradually getting into the best place of writing. It also made me realize that it is so important to do one thing well and stick to it.
Eighth, I began to be able to fully enjoy my leisure life
I used to be an anxious type of person who always thought that I should devote all my time to something useful.
Now I realize that anything that makes a person happy is worth doing. In my spare time, I can listen to my favorite music, take a walk, sleep in, and I will not condemn myself, and I can fully enjoy my leisure life.
Nine is no longer concerned about things in the workplace
Now that I am out of the workplace, I no longer care about any trivial things that happen in the workplace, but focus on how to do a good job in self-media and how to further improve my writing level.
Being your own boss, a new life, a new goal, and a new kind of hope also bring people a new hope.
The tenth is to start paying attention to the knowledge of health preservation
Now I am more willing to invest in health care, I have started to pay attention to three meals a day, and I have also begun to understand the knowledge of health care.
In his spare time, he followed his eighty-year-old mother to learn health preservation, soaked his feet with traditional Chinese medicine, massaged his feet, and massaged his earlobes, and really lived the life of an elderly person.
All of this change stems from a question in my heart: life is an experience.
It doesn't matter what you want to achieve, a lot of anxiety in life is caused by goals.
But what is the purpose of life? It's just a series of experiences.
In the process of life, to experience more life, to face more unknowns, to experience more things, to fully live in the present, will allow us to have a rich and wonderful life. #你的退休生活状态是什么样的? #
