How do you define fulfillment or happiness in retirement? How do you go about finding your purpose in retirement? While the specific answer is typically as unique as the individual, a recent MassMutual Retirement Happiness Study found that the difference between retirees who described themselves as “very happy” and those who didn’t came down to one simple reason: access to a variety of interactive activities that build social connections.
A Life Plan Community lifestyle can help you stay social and improve your quality of life:
Group activities. Most senior living communities offer a robust social calendar with plenty of activities to choose from, including fitness classes, arts and crafts, happy hours, educational seminars, and cultural presentations. Even if an activity doesn’t initially interest you, consider giving it a try — the opportunity for socialization is often more important than the activity itself. As you make friends, you’ll naturally begin inviting them to do the things you enjoy most.
Explore your interests. If you enjoy reading, join a book club. If one doesn’t exist, consider starting one. It’s a wonderful way to spend time with others who share your interests and to begin forming meaningful friendships.
Dining is a social experience. The dining room is a perfect place to meet people and make connections. As you talk with your table companions, you’ll often discover how much you have in common.
Get out and about. Most senior living communities feature a variety of outings to local dining, entertainment, social, and cultural destinations and provide transportation, so you don’t have to worry about driving or parking.
