I recently celebrated my one-year retirement anniversary, which I called my “Grown, Sexy and Retired” Party! 

My husband, Clayton, planned it for me and my sister and a few friends came out to help me celebrate.  We had such a nice time, we danced, and partied until almost closing time at the club. 

I called it my Grown, Sexy and Retired party for three reasons!  First of all, I am grown!  My sister, Joyce, always said to me, when I was in my 4o’s, that I wasn’t really grown until I reached the age of 50!  Well, I am 53 now, so that makes me truly grown!  The sexy part is how I feel about myself!  Everyone, might not think that I am, but I don’t live for them, anyway!  (They’re just haters!).  And being retired is what I am!  Yea!

What I realized, though, is that being grown, sexy and retired, is now adding pressure on me!  I will give you some examples of what I’m referring to.  Being grown, to me, means ‘looking and acting your age’, but then when you add sexy to it, it almost changes that meaning.  It’s hard to look sexy and look your age at the same time, it’s almost  impossible to do!  Then being retired means you can look however you want, but then my reputation will be ruined, because now I’m not looking sexy….. to much pressure!  See what I mean?

This is, of course, my first year of being retired, in five or ten years, my party might be called, “Happy I still have my Sanity” Party! 

There will be new pressure in my life by then.  My grandson, Robert, will be older and more demanding on his grandmother, for things, which I will be pressured to accommodate!  My husband, will be retired or close to retirement, so having him around on a daily basis will be total pressure! 

Right now, I am very happy and content with being grown, sexy and retired!  This is a title I can live up to for the next 5 years or maybe longer, who knows!  The good thing about it is I don’t have to make any excuses for it!  There might be some that might want to challenge it, but I am ready for the showdown.  Just as long as its not having to dance 10 songs straight!  My body might not be able to handle that type of pressure!  Whoo boy!

The first twelve months of retirement is really something. It’s as if you are having the biggest break in your life. Nothing lasts forever though and this situation is not an exception. Boredom will eventually kick in especially if you are not doing anything meaningful to you. Boredom is one of the biggest complaints of those who have retired from work especially with top level employees and executives whose working days has been very hectic. Here are the tips on how to conquer boredom during retirement:

Engage yourself in a meaningful activity

Retirees want to engage in activities that are meaningful and not by just doing it for the sake of doing something. A meaningful work can be rewarding and it may help and inspire others in some way. Not only you can conquer boredom during retirement by doing this but you may get rid of the other negative things that prevent most retirees from enjoying and truly appreciating their decision to quit working.

Re-kindle your old passion

One of the main purposes of retirement is for us to be able to do what we really want to do that has been hurdled by the career we chose. Most of us have passion for something that may not give us sufficient income if we focus to build our lives with it. It may be possible to make money out of our passion but it may require passing through a rough road. Retirement is the perfect time to rediscover your old interests, give meaning to it, and in return you will be valued by audiences which you value. If your golden years is spent this way, boredom will never surface itself during your retirement giving you the chance to fully appreciate what it’s like to be free.
