After retirement, many people are surprised to feel like they’ve lost their sense of purpose, their sense of connection, and the personal fulfillment they gained from their previous jobs and responsibilities. Having a sense of purpose promotes happiness, healthy behavior, and a longer life. In fact, research shows that loneliness and a lack of connection in seniors is often tied to the absence of purpose.
How do you find a “new” sense of purpose at this new stage of life? Here are seven ways:
- Compassion
- Contribution
- Creativity
- Relationships
- Seeking health
- Small joys
- Work
