- Retirement marks a significant transition from work to a more relaxed lifestyle. While financial planning is crucial, other factors contribute to a fulfilling retirement. Here are five ways to create a happier retirement:
đ1. Create healthier routines: Design your own routine to add structure and meaning to your days. Establish a morning routine that sets a positive tone and engages you in meaningful activities.
đ 2. Practice mindfulness: Use retirement as an opportunity for self-reflection. Embrace mindfulness through practices like meditation and journaling to gain self-awareness and improve mood, sleep, and concentration.
đ3. Stay connected: Proactively maintain social connections after leaving the workplace. Seek out communities or groups with shared interests to enhance your social life and well-being.
đ4. Take control by taking action: Avoid procrastination and boost fulfillment by starting your day with small actions. Taking control of your time and tasks leads to increased productivity and happiness.
đ5. Embrace a beginner mindset: Keep growing and learning to maintain purpose and fulfillment. Embrace new experiences, challenges, and personal development to open yourself up to exciting possibilities.
Creating a happy retirement involves more than financial planning. By focusing on healthier routines, mindfulness, social connections, taking action, and a beginner mindset, you can cultivate a happy and fulfilling retirement. Be intentional in your choices and make the most of this new phase of life.

I retired a little over 4 years ago. The one thing I enjoy the most every day when I'm home is my early morning routine. I interact with at least one other person along with my dogs and cats. This includes a 20 minute walk with one other person and the dogs. Regardless of what I do after that (work around the house, gym, shopping, beach, doctors, etc.), I feel comfort that I've accomplished something. Being productive is key!
This is a great practice. Awesome advice; thanks for sharing!
Excellent! 1) Find at least one new passion 2) Volunteer 3) Develop a daily exercise routine 4) Exercise your brain
I needed this today. I retired a year ago and while Iâve been able to busy myself with needed house repairs, I get to the end of the day and wonder were all the time went. My morning routine has come to incorporate an unhealthy dose of procrastination and Iâve got to change that.
That procrastination point is dead ass on!!
I am impressed with how insightful you are at your young age (to us about to retire you are a baby!). I appreciate your videos and you are one of my favorite channels on retirement. Thanks you!!
Thank you so much!
Great Vlog as always James. Always helpful and action based guidance đđ»
Love these video topics. My official retirement started TODAY! My previous job really prepared me for retirement. Very easy and low stress and was remote so a routine isnât something I really had which means Iâm going to have to develop one going forward. Weâre moving to Europe in September so getting things setup now will help me have a better understanding of what I need to put together in our next chapter.
Amazing! Congratulations on your retirement and move, Rick.

Yah Toastmasterâs! Best thing I ever did! 7 years! Going on 8! †safe environment & learning and interesting people!
James, you are so wise beyond your years! Great stuff!
Thanks Sport! Hope you are well!
you explain things very clearly and hit on topics that are very valuable. Thank you very much!!!
Very good content! Thanks so much !
Great video James!! Such great points. Congratulations on becoming a father and on tackling Jui jitsu! I always enjoy your videos and am working so hard to retire while in my 40s. Really hoping to make it and travel extensively while I am still healthy enough to do it. Please keep the videos coming!
Thank you for the kind words! And thanks for watching; hopefully we can help contribute to that early retirement.
Zig Zigglar said it best "When you're green, you're growing. When you ripen, you rot".
Yep!
James, I have become a big fan of your channel in the past few days and watching a lot of your great videos. I find them super helpful and the topics are mostly what I have on my mind in the last couple of years. Do you offer personal consulting service that I can book your time to have a more specific discussion about my own situation? Thanks
Excellent. Practice Mindfulness: "The best season of our lives". Beginner's mindset: advice as much for today as in retirement. Exceptional advice; five points above the financials that are as important or more. Thank you for another great video, James.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We're glad you liked it.
thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for your video!
I feel like my transition (in 2 1/2 years) will be good. Iâve been studying and will leave my job at 65, wait until 67 to collect SS, taking money from my retirement account (starting at 0 income, so the best tax for those funds, as well as growing the monthly SS benefit). The extra income from SS will pay for a Medicare Plan G for the rest of my life.
I have taken a few years of Tai Chi and a few years of yoga. Since the pandemic, I havenât done these, but Iâm decluttering my house each day to make room for yoga. Decluttering has become easier, as all of those âIâll use this somedayâ items are now âI know Iâll never do thisâ items. The mindfulness benefits of both yoga and Tai Chi are fantastic.
Iâve been playing disc golf for years, and plan to take some trips to courses I want to play and incorporate local festivals and weather into my planning. Taking after my parents, Iâll enjoy the planning of trips, because it will give me flexibility and options along the way, and the anticipation is part of the fun. Iâm also going to put up a dartboard and rekindle my enjoyment of that, joining a local league.
I am a distinguished Toastmaster, by the way. However, I quit after they changed to the online format, because it is harder to explain the benefits, and I wasnât enjoying the experience anymore.
I appreciate the advice, as youâve given me some motivation to start these earlier. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing all this! Sounds like youâre doing a great job of preparing.
Congrats on starting up BJJ, that's been a great focus for me in retirement as well - endless amounts to learn and great exercise all in one package lol
Agreed!
I donât want to change the world and I love sleeping in. I havenât even retired yet.
Oops, not seeing a link to the video on things people regret. I will look it up later. This was excellent.
Thanks for letting me know! Weâll fix that.
Good content đ
Thanks đ
And I enjoy the luxury of NOT being productive! Guess I would have been lazy if I'd had the chance, but high impact jobs combined with 2 kids right after college, then life change & 2 more kids in my early 40's, I stayed BUSY. More than I ever wanted, so now to just sloth, so far for the first ten years of retirement it has felt just fine. Now live alone, a bit gimped from a concussion some years back, I enjoy kitchen puttering, keep a huge container garden on back deck, tho large yard & garden space a bit out of my range anymore. Doing mostly little is still working for me.
How did you get to be so wise young in? (And cute!) †been doing all this for years! Iâm a writer! & Toastmasterâs is my gig! 7 years now!!!! Going for my DTM! đ
Do it while you are young.
You ended this video saying "how can I do something for me? Not in a selfish way."
After spending your life being told what to do, what's wrong with being selfish?
Sort of like taking advice from your kids! But, sometimes they have a point.
We retired over the last 2 years.
You have to create a new routine, it is mostly trial and error. Took us several months, but got it down now, and ours includes an exercise routine, chores and changes in our eating habits.
The pace is much slower(good), you donât have to do as much, but need to have tasks. We have daily tasks and periodic tasks like âvacationâ.
Agree that social connections are important with family and friends, but, actually having a few less people in our daily life is nice.
I disagree on the task discussion. Only having one or two tasks a day is wonderful. Stop the rat race!.
It always has to do with money!
