Some amazing options that retirees must take up:
After retirement, everyone feels happy but after some time, they start feeling restless. It feels like something is incomplete simply because of changes in daily routine. Most people view retirement as a chance to relax and spend time with family, but with time it becomes difficult for them to pass their time.
I see my grandparents doing their household work which proves that they are active. Hence they should not sit idle at home as there are many things that can keep you busy and help you embrace new things:
-
Become a tutor
Every retired person has an experience of 60+ years that leaves them full of wisdom. It is said that it is important for kids to grow up in presence of elderly people because it is beneficial for both of them. An elderly person lives his childhood again with kids and kids gets to learn values and interesting stories. Be it normal painting, sketching, mathematics, you could easily be a tutor.
-
Join a Bhajan group
All of us believes in God and pray daily why not take it up as a hobby? Joining a Bhajan group after retirement will be good for you as you will enjoy your time praying, you can meditate and be closer to god, plus yo get to socialize and importantly learn a new skill- singing! And most importantly you will be surrounded with positive vibes always and you can also pass on those vibes.
-
A yoga team
Yoga helps in keeping you fit and healthy. Every colony has their yoga group who practices yoga in the park or studio, you could create one. This will not only keep you healthy but it will also pass your time. Later you could also organize yoga camps for other people.
-
Sell personalized products
Now when finally you have some time, utilize your creativity, make stuff and sell. You can paint things like flower pots, coffee mugs etc. Do anything that you are good at. This way you will spend your time making the products and you can earn also.
-
Travel
I am sure like most of the working masses you have often missed vacations and now would love to explore. Start by exploring your city bit by bit and then plan for trips outside your city and enjoy life.
-

These days’ people are using social media platforms to showcase their talents. Figure out how a smartphone works, take help of your children and do super cool stuff that you are good at. Post them online, who knows you might become popular.
These hobbies will help you keep busy and make you feel fulfilled.
