Mental Health in Retirement

Retirement mental health is important
mental health is important

Our mental health is just as important as our physical health

Taking care of our mental health is an act of self-love.

Mental health is important at any age and more so in retirement because many of our social connections

and support groups are no longer active or we haven’t maintained them like we did when working full time.

Regular exercise even just walking 30 minutes a day is important as is strength training.

Just as nutritious food is good for our bodies so is healthy information for our mind and soul.

Thoughts of not being enough if allowed to remain can lead to anxiety and depression.

Having a purpose and meaning is important when many things are changing and are not the same as when we were working full-time.

If you are experiencing mental health problems please seek professional help.

If you need help to find your purpose or meaning in life, I can help you with that.

Call me, 0419568043 or email slater.colin1@outlook.com

As a life coach, I can help you find clarity about your purpose, be a mentor, a guide, an accountability partner and your cheerleader.

Remember taking care of our mental health is an act of self-love.

Retirement insights

Do random acts of kindness
gratitude and chocolate

Age is an issue of mind over matter.

If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter ~ Mark Twain

Retirement Insights, what I have learnt so far.

Having activities and purpose that replace former work time is essential.

There is life after working full time and you need to find things and people that matter to you.

Relationships are important even when you are semi or fully retired.

Have a plan about;

  • How you use your time and activities that support you
  • Be kind to yourself,  support your health, ensure you get enough exercise, quality sleep and eat healthy food.
  • Be aware of your finances and savings

If you need any help with your retirement besides financial advice which I do not offer, give me a call on 0419568043 or
