Majority of people believe that retirement is a time for relaxation and freedom from daily life worries, however, retirees often discover they still face various challenges during this period.

In this episode, we'll go through concerns that retirees face emotionally and psychologically, as well as solutions for overcoming them. When leaving a professional career, one difficulty is the loss of identity or purpose. It's critical to restore your sense of self by engaging in interest-based hobbies and pastimes, such as reading or fishing. Next on the list are the common issues of loneliness and social isolation in retirement, both of which can impair health. People will have a lot of depressive thoughts when they are dealing with this loneliness and social isolation. So, in order to overcome this, socializing and getting help are required. To fully appreciate the planned activities and goals in retirement, keep in mind how important it is to focus on your emotional and psychological well-being.
