<\/p>\"\"It\u2019s fairly common for discussions of retirement planning to focus solely on the financials. Few individuals take the time to consider the nonfinancial concerns. Indeed, when retirees report being dissatisfied with their retirement experience, the disappointment is often focused on lifestyle changes and diminishing self-esteem created by a lack of direction and a loss of feeling productive.\n

Slow and Steady Wins the Race.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One possible solution is to transition into retirement slowly. Many individuals who are about to retire welcome the idea of continuing to engage in some form of work, whether consulting, job-sharing, mentoring, or, for business owners, providing back-up management. A phased retirement can help provide an \u201canchor\u201d that allows you to explore new activities while continuing to maintain a meaningful role.<\/p>\n

From a psychological standpoint, some individuals find that separating from their job, profession, or business is a more emotionally wrenching experience than they expected. For hard-working business owners, executives, and professionals, it could take as long as five years to detach from the heavy personal investment they had in their work.<\/p>\n

Past, Present, and Future.<\/strong>
\nPerspective is the key to enjoying your later years. While \u201cretirement\u201d suggests the \u201cend\u201d of your working life, another viewpoint can allow you to see retirement as the \u00a0\u201cbeginning\u201d \u00a0of a new phase of life\u2014a phase in which you can do all the things you never seemed to find the time for while you were working. For instance, volunteer work can enhance your sense of contributing, while taking courses in areas of interest can challenge your intellectual curiosity.<\/p>\n

During your working years, it is common to take your lifestyle for granted. After retirement, with more time available for contemplation you can consider the importance of your various activities. Depending on individual circumstances, you may wish to reorder your priorities. You may find that you just don\u2019t need to do some of the things that seemed so important when you were working.<\/p>\n

This transition can be an exciting and enjoyable process. Your horizons are limited only by your imagination. You\u2019ve earned this opportunity\u2014enjoy the journey!
