Retirement, the end of a long career, is a time to be celebrated. It's a chance to relax, enjoy hobbies and spend quality time with your loved ones. Staying home all day watching television or working on puzzles can cause boredom and depression. You should look for ways to incorporate activities that are fun and enriching into your retirement life.

1. Get out of the house. Join a community group or volunteer. Taking classes is another way to meet people with similar interests and get out of the house. Look for classes at your local community college, senior center or library.

2. Explore your creative side by taking an art class or joining an art group that meets regularly so you can practice your skills and meet others who share your interest in art. Take a cooking class and learn new dishes to add variety to your dinner table.

3. Remain physically active by joining a fitness program with other seniors at a senior center or fitness club. Maintain flexibility by taking yoga classes that teach breathing techniques as well as poses that help keep you limber and balanced.

4. Spend time outdoors gardening, bird watching or walking through the neighborhood admiring the architectural styles of houses in the area. If you prefer indoor activities, consider playing chess, and other games.

You have capture them all retirement isn't a death sentence you can still remain active while in retirement. For me that have been busy my whole life I'm very sure that I can go on with my life even if I' need to retire. I want to remain active my whole life because that's what the body needs. To continually be strong and healthy you need an active life and you have stated realistic activities.

Gardening at this time will be very helpful it will keep you strong and at the same time will provide food for you. Retirement isn't time for dullness or having dull moments you should continue to get up and move it will be the best decision for you to keep you going.

Retirement is a time for freedom, for doing whatever you want. For some people, that means dragging out the old set of golf clubs and practicing their swing. For others, it means taking up tennis or going on vacation more often. But a surprising number of retirees find themselves staying at home and not really enjoying their time off. What can those people do to get out there and enjoy life?

1) Find a hobby. There are plenty of things to do if you don’t want to just stay at home all day. Hobbies like golf and tennis mentioned earlier can help you get in shape while also giving you a chance to socialize with new friends who share your interest in the activity. That’s doubly true if you join a local club or organization dedicated to your hobby of choice.
2) Volunteer in your community. If you don’t want to spend money on hobbies, volunteering can be a great way to enjoy yourself while helping others at the same time. You can lend your expertise by helping keep computers up-to-date at your local library, or even give children a chance to learn about science by teaching them about animals at the zoo or anything useful you can offer. Just remember that volunteering doesn't have to mean spending hours every week
