I make my bed every morning ! When I use something I put it back where it belongs ! I exercise 2 times a week with a seniors group & I am involved with a grass roots ( not for profit ) charity group ! We help the homeless & those who get an apartment help set them up with everything from a bed to glasses ! I just turned 80 . Oh yea and I skip the news !

This was wonderful.
I'm 65 and have been retired 3 years. I love it. My dog and I go to the dog park daily, great people and all kinds of dogs, God's greatest gift.
I give thanks many times a day and love my sleep.
Thank-you for this great information.

Thanks Larry. Like Miss Scarlett said, "tomorrow is another day" and I plan to put your ideas into action.

I need CONSISTENCY.
Having lived a Life of Change, now retired, I am seeking some way to Collect all-the-pennies I stored for this-stage of my life.

Okay .. I am 82 and I walk most days (4-5 thousand steps .. my target is 6-8 by the end of the day) also do some excercise .. big park close by with excercise equipment in the middle.
I make up my bed shortly after waking .. I feel good about it .. not sure why.
I go out of my way to find people who I can have a meaningful conversation with. I too feel strangely "lighter" .. happier after these times.
I tidy things up every day .. have a place for every thing (I could be a problem here .. my garage is also like that .. family know and respect my craziness)
I try to keep moving .. every hour or so .. radio taiso and tai chi excercise .. just simple arm, back and leg movements .. I also practice getting up and down from the floor .. do some mat excercise .. sitting cross legged while watching tv or drinking coffee.
I am trying to eat well .. "colour on the plate" .. lost 11kg this year. Lots of fiber, protein and plain greek yogurt, nuts, seeds of all kinds .. prunes and dates
I have a daily routine .. bed at 9.30pm.. up at 7.00am (mostly .. unless I have a bad night) Generally I sleep well 7- 8 hr
What I don't do and would really like to work on is:
Have something living that depends on me
Do a 3min reflection before sleep. What worked and what didn't
I really like the "3 postive things" to look for and be grateful for.
Having said all this I do have days where every thing goes side ways and I fail to achieve many of these things. This year has been a beter year but I still have a long way to go.
Money does indeed matter and I am so grateful .. I don't have much but I have enough for my needs and to be genorous in my giving.
Thank you for this .. I have found it very helpful

I retire in 4 weeks and I already know what I'm doing. Daily walks with and without the dogs, they are old and slow. I have a friend with an allotment whom I'm helping them with. I have my mum, husband, kids, grandchildren and friends to look after and visit. I won't have time to sit . I don't know how I fit work in.

They left one really important one out. Whether you have a lot or very little, stop looking at your accounts every day. Stop obsessing about them. Stop worrying about gifting money to your family.

Some of us pensioners still have to work full time. We cannot afford to retire. We cannot sit about all day and have naps.
