Thinking about Retirement?
Do you feel anxious at the thought of retiring because you aren’t sure how you will fill your time?
Would you like to create a retirement life that is filled with joy and passion instead of trying to decide which game show to watch?
If you are close to retirement or already retired, do you feel like you want to try something new, but you aren’t exactly sure what that is?
Are you worried about losing the social life you developed during your career or pondering life with your significant other, 24/7?
The Bottom Line
You may have planned for your financial well being after retirement but given little or no thought to how you will spend your time, what your vision of an ideal retirement is, or how you can convert your life after retirement into the life of your dreams.
If you haven’t done any retirement life planning, you might find that all your newfound freedom makes you feel unproductive, unfulfilled and just plain bored!
I know because that’s what happened to me. I took an early retirement package from my employer. It never occurred to me that I needed to have a plan. I just figured that life without the stressors of a career would be perfect unto itself! It was only after I had been retired for several months that I realized there had to be more to life than waking up without an alarm clock. I had more to give to the world; I just didn’t know what that was.
I did a lot of research and soul searching before I decided to become a Life Coach. I know what it is like not to be prepared for life after retirement so I am better able to help you plan the life of your dreams!
Ask yourself:
- Do I have a vision of my ideal retirement?
- How can I plan for a smooth transition?
- What gives my life meaning and purpose?
- Am I aware of what is important to me in my life?
- What interests would I like to pursue now that I have more time?
- What lifestyle changes do I want to make?
- Do I see retirement as a new beginning, a chance to finally live my dream?
- Do my expectations of retirement align with my partner’s?
Together we will:
o Evaluate your goals and personal fulfillment needs
o Discuss any concerns you have about retirement
o Clarify the values that influence your decisions
o Create an active, satisfying, joy filled retirement

I retired as the Risk Manager from the City of Tempe in 2003. I have a
degree in English Literature from Arizona State University and am a
graduate from the Life Coaching program at Southwest Institute of
Healing Arts in Tempe, Arizona. I am passionate about helping others.
Life Coaching has been a great re-careering opportunity for me and I'm
eager to help other Boomers create a spectacular life after
retirement.
I also enjoy coaching people who are in transition whether it's in their personal or professional life.
