When we talk about senior living, many people may think of retirement, retirement, or even loneliness and illness. But in fact, old age can also be a golden stage in life, if you can do the following, then your later life will definitely be of high quality.
Economic independence is fundamental
If you're in your 70s and can still support yourself without having to reach out to your children for money, it's really not easy. Imagine having a pension of $3,000 a month, which would be enough to cover most of your daily expenses, including those medical expenses and some social activities. In this way, not only will the burden on children be reduced, but their own lives will be more dignified and free.
(1) Good health is more important than anything else
Health is the key to old age. If you reach this age, your body is still quite strong and there are no major problems, which in itself is much stronger than many of your peers. A healthy body is a prerequisite for an active social life and the basis for enjoying life.
(2) It is warmest to have a companion
As we get older, the circle of interpersonal communication may gradually shrink, and if we have a partner who has been with us for many years and can share the bits and pieces of life together, the quality of life will definitely be greatly improved. The presence of a spouse can reduce loneliness and increase the interest and security of life.
2. Self-care and freedom in life
If you're in your 70s and can still take care of yourself, it's a huge boon for your family. This means that you don't need to rely on others, you can arrange your own life freely, and it also relieves a lot of pressure for your children.
(1) Hobbies, wonderful every day
No matter how old you are, it's always good to have one or two hobbies that you enjoy. These hobbies can help you pass the time, make your retirement life less monotonous, and keep you in a good mood and healthier.
(2) Be calm and smile at life
A good mindset is especially important for older people. Maintaining an optimistic and peaceful mindset can help you better cope with the challenges you may encounter in old age. If a person can maintain a good mood and a gentle temper, then no matter what difficulties he faces, he will appear more calm.
3. Reasonable expectations and harmonious families
Understanding and respecting the lives of your children and not expecting too much from them is the key to maintaining a harmonious family relationship. Children have their own life pressures and responsibilities, and as parents, you should support and encourage them instead of being a burden to them.
(1) Maintain a good relationship with your children
Good family relationships are a kind of spiritual support for the elderly. Maintaining open and positive communication can lead to more harmonious family relationships and more emotional support and understanding in old age.
Fourth, social activities, not alone
Social activities are very important for seniors. Getting involved in the community, making new friends, or volunteering can make your life more fulfilling. Not only does this keep you socially connected, but it also keeps you in a good mood and is a great opportunity to get some exercise. Just imagine having a few gatherings with friends every week, whether it's playing cards, singing, or simply walking and chatting, can add a lot to life.
5. Continue to study and be young forever
There is no end to learning, and this statement also applies to the elderly. Whether you're learning how to use a computer, gardening flowers, or even learning from a teacher, these can keep your brain active and away from diseases like Alzheimer's. Moreover, learning new skills can increase self-confidence and also bring new joys to life.
6. Stay active and participate in physical activities
Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining good health. Exercises that do not require high-intensity exercise, such as walking, yoga, tai chi, etc., are all very good choices. These activities not only help seniors stay functional, but they also improve their mental health and reduce their risk of illness.
7. Spiritual life, finding inner peace
Older people also need spiritual satisfaction and calm. Whether it's religious or meditation, it's important to find a way to calm your mind. This can help cope with life's stresses and maintain inner peace.
8. Arrange the future and be full of hope
Planning for the future can give hope and motivation to older people. Whether it's planning future trips or writing a personal memoir, these are great ways to make life look forward to. Not only does it add purpose to each day, but it also brings motivation to life.
epilogue
Senior life can be colorful, and if you can do the above, I believe that your old age will not only be happy, but also full of vitality and dignity. 70 to 75 years old is not the end of life, but a new beginning, you can enjoy life, enjoy freedom, and enjoy the warmth of family. So, no matter how old you are now, start preparing for this wonderful time, don't you?
Through these specific living standards and suggestions, we hope to help more elderly friends prepare in advance for a healthy, free and harmonious life in their old age. Remember, old age can also be a time of fun and fulfillment, and the key is how we approach it and how we prepare for it. I hope that every friend who has reached this stage can smile at life and enjoy every extraordinary daily life.
Remember, age is just a number, what really matters is your mindset and actions. Let's all move towards a more active, healthy and happy old age!
