Many of us define who we are by what we do
for a living or, when we have retired, what
we used to do. The
truth is that when we retire and our career comes to a close, new doors open. We can remain vital and continue our personal
growth, as we deliberately reinvent who we are. Some of us look forward to retirement, but for many of us it is a bittersweet
time of life. We realize that we will miss our work and the support systems we have developed throughout our career.While
we may find ourselves missing the routines of work we must recognize the need to develop new patterns for living life.
Retirement is a milestone of aging, and many of us have not viewed aging as a positive experience. We can all expect
to encounter certain stresses as we confront the normal losses of aging.
If we have taken the time to prepare for retirement, by learning about ourselves, building circles of support,
and relearning the fine art of having fun, we will be able to make the most of our golden years.
Ann and Cynthia have developed this interactive talk to help groups with preparing for, adapting
to, and making the most of the new circumstances that retirement brings. These issues can also be explored in individual
and couples counseling. No matter the challenges, retirement is a time for New Beginnings.
To have the Retirement And New Beginnings presentation
given to a group at your site just phone (631) 331-4458, to make arrangements.
