I am living a healthy and happy life drawing on my life experiences to be a fit and active person. I look for fun activities to embrace life to its fullest.
My Main Motivators
- Live the life that is uniquely my own and not defined by others.
- Live an active retirement doing the things I love.
- Volunteer with organizations that support my passions.
- Live a life that makes a difference for those around me and in my community.
My main obstacles
- Controlling my ESTJ (supervisor, aka executive) personality type that wants to over manage and control without much flexibility.
- I am still not clear on what retirement means to me; especially the focus of family, work, volunteerism and personal time.
- Time: respecting/restricting commitments and overextending myself which is my nature.
- General fear of the unknown; going from a more structured, known life that I live today.
My Strategies to Overcome my Obstacles
- Under commit and under schedule allowing for fun time.
- Seek some guidance from others on retirement; possibly from a life or fitness coach.
- Spend a good bit of time this coming year reflecting on what is really important in my life.
- Feel freer to do new things but always set and respect boundaries to avoid doing too much.
- Always ask myself, “Is this really fun?” acknowledging that fun is the word I want to frame my life around.
