Finding Purpose After Retirement: My Tips

Occupational wellness isn’t just about having a job—it’s about finding meaning in what you do every day, even after retirement. For me, it’s been about: - Volunteering at the local library (sharing my love for books) - Picking up new hobbies (hello, watercolor painting!) - Mentoring younger folks in my community These activities keep my mind sharp and give me a sense of purpose. Studies show that seniors who volunteer or mentor are happier and even healthier—lower risk of depression, better cognition, and more social connections. If you’re wondering how to get started, try asking yourself: What activities make you lose track of time? What skills do you love sharing? Start there, and see where it leads. Retirement is just the beginning of a new chapter—one where you get to choose what matters most. #OccupationalWellness #HealthyAging #RetirementLife #Aging #Health #Wellness
