A Guide to Take the Weirdness Out of Retirement

A Guide to Take the Weirdness Out of Retirement udemy course

Proactively Mapping Your Retirement Identity, Lifestyle, and Purpose

Just as you plan for your financial well being in retirement, it's equally as important to prepare for your social and psychological well being. That's what this course is all about: Creating your identity beyond the work role, designing a lifestyle that fits with who you are and who you are becoming, and finding purpose in meaningful activities.

This course explores what you will need in retirement that will create a sense of meaning and purpose at a time when you're no longer defined by your work title. So much of the "weirdness" of retirement comes from losing our sense of direction. We'll explore how to create a new life structure by embracing new roles, being involved in work that is greater than ourselves, and recreating conditions that contributed to our happiness at work.

If you're not interested in every day feeling like Saturday and Sunday, then you are going to love learning about new organizing concepts that are much bigger than a life of leisure. If you're not ready to give up work completely, you will be glad to learn how to regain the psychological benefits of work. And if you're worried that you don't have something that you are passionate about doing in retirement, in this course you only need to be curious and have an explorer mindset.

If you are worried about the decision to retire, you will find support that will help you feel prepared to step into retirement. This is especially important if you are in a work environment where it is not "safe" to talk about retirement. This major life decision and transition is too complex to go it alone. In this course you will find the support you need without having to "show your cards" at work.
