Here are the things or the provisions that you can do to ensure a happy retirement: 

Make Yourself Connected to the World

With retirement on the immediate horizon, you may be wondering how you'll keep busy in your golden years. There are many things to consider when planning for retirement, but one of the most important is finding a way to help you keep engaged with the world around you. One way to do this is to plan on doing volunteer work once you're retired (or even before!) I usually check out what's happening in the community to avoid boredom and to know the next step that I need to do to keep myself busy. 

Financial Planning for Retirement

The sooner you start saving for retirement. The better are your chances of enjoying a secure retirement. Make sure to invest in some stocks or some passive money-making hustles to secure your future years. I have done this, and now I am just happily collecting the profit of my investments. How about you? What is the industry that interests you? 

Keep the Energy Flowing by Staying Active

As you age, it's important to stay active to maintain your quality of life and overall health. The key is to start slowly. If you haven't been active in a while, start small and work your way up. For example, if your goal is to be able to walk a mile in twenty minutes, don't try to set that goal in one day. Instead, set a series of goals. Start by walking for five minutes every day. Once you've accomplished that goal, increase the time you walk by five minutes for the next week. Keep going until you've reached your goal of walking a mile in twenty minutes. Just like me, I started with simple routines, but now I can do better. 

Keep a Good Circle of Friends for Emotional Support

Being retired are the best years of your life, but it is also a time when you are most vulnerable to loneliness and depression. That's why it's important to have a circle of friends who can give you the emotional support you need. But how do you find friends when you are retired?

Well, for me, social media and technology helped a lot.  You can also utilize it. As early as you know, while you are not yet retired, you should already develop a circle where you are comfortable. 

Positivity is Important

There is a lot of debate going on in the world today about whether people are too negative or whether they are not negative enough. There are those who are convinced that a positive attitude has the power to change everything, and then there are those who feel that a negative outlook is a natural consequence of the world we live in. For your own sake, it is a good idea to find a place where you find yourself on the positive side of that debate.

Cheers to the future! Let me know your thoughts about your future retirement
