No smoking, little to no alcohol, some exercise, and some interaction with people and an enormous amount of Youtube. Too much interaction with humans can also be detrimental to your health. The main reason i absolutely Love Love Love Youtube is because of my choice to be with who i want to be with and what i want to expose myself to. I love my Youtube Family. Been addicted for about 15 years.

As for living in the past I started getting ready to retire about five years ahead. I got a motorcycle, went camping again, started visiting my kids and hiking. After my wife passed I moved states to get better situated for those activities. Walking in the woods is my main exercise. Now, at 76 I’m still looking forward to every day.

Not all of us who are alone are lonely. There is something to be said for solitude, peace and quiet to think, plan and enjoy nature and life in general. Especially if you come from a chaotic former life.

I am almost 74 and enjoying life. I work out 3-4 times a week and love learning new things. No, I am not retired. Running my small company and love that as well.

[kennethgordon]

Excellent advise! I have been a widower now for 10 months and some days can be very challenging for me. At 75 I still walk at least 2 miles every day. I am very motivated to travel and continue to see the national parks and other fine areas of the country just like I did with my wife. And I know she would be happy that I can still get out my camera and find new experiences and meet people even if only small talk occurs. I am ok with that. There is I have found, a very fine line between freedom and loneliness. She is always with me in many ways no matter where I go now. Thank you for this video.

This video is perfect timing for me. I’m 65 and next week is my last week of work. Thank you!

I retired with my hubby early (he was 58 & I was almost 51) we traveled for 12 years in our motorhome around the US - seeing new things, making new friends, new experiences, ...
Now we just resettled in our "final" home where we're comfortable and now enjoy our next phase of retirement!
But we're not juat sitting in the proverbial rocking chair, we travel to new areas, make new friends & visit with old friends that come thru the area, attend local events, ... We are content with the retirement life we chose!

[lindadorman]

I'm 63 and semi-retired with my own home-based business that keeps me busy a few hours a day. What I'm finding is how important it is to have something on your calendar almost every day. It can be a household task like doing the laundry or cleaning, meeting with friends or family, shopping, taking a class, exercise, whatever. Waking up with absolutely nothing to look forward to is fun for awhile, but it gets boring. Now I just reserve one day a week for total rest and relaxation.

[ThanhBenMansour]

I saw my parents retire with health problems. One of the things people forget is that the third act of life also typically involves chronic diseases. It's not just a question of financial burdens, it's also a quality of life issue. Maintaining a quality of life that you expect to have can be difficult simply because of chronic diseases many seniors face in the third part of their lives.

I am 67 and learning painting on canvas at home.It’s a new beginning for me.Even though I find no perfection I am happy with my new hobby

[tomdixon]

I disagree with your advise “smoking too much, etc”. My advise is don’t smoke at all. Don’t drink at all. Eat healthy.

[lemonalime]

One 95 yo lady looked happy and lovely. She said her wonderful happy life, her happy memories kept her happy. Her house walls and furniture were covered with photos from her past. Her past lived with her every day, making her healthy and happy.

I’m 62 and hiking Mt. Whitney again this month. Too much fun and not enough time as far as I’m concerned. Great channel!

[jamesrecknor]

Depression looks back, fear and anxiety looks around, faith and hope looks forward and up.

[michaeljosephgallagher]

Great positive video from Michael in Nottingham, England. Im Sixty and retired and fully happy about that. I also think it is very important to never stop learning, and interact with other people.
There is a lot of loneliness among the elderly in Britain; an ongoing scenario
Which is sad ; but youre video gives hope and inspiration. Thank you❤

[speckledpup]

Embrace change! Don't live in the past! Great advice! I have been adjusting to my husband passing 2 years ago. Just beginning to embrace changes that come along.

[GTsang]

If you always think about your past, then that means you are getting old. I gradually accept I 'll turn to 60. I always remind myself not to compare with your past, though you have good performance in one area or you look beautiful 10 years ago. Now I will do as my age and compare only with my age group. Thanks for your sharing.

#1. Living in the past. Don’t say over and over, “I used to…”.
#2. Don’t neglect your physical health.
#3. Don’t avoid new technology.
#4. Don’t set unrealistic expectations. Eg. Don’t expect to run a marathon, start by walking lots.
#5. Stop resisting change. (Eg. Downsizing).
#6. Don’t isolate yourself from others. Highest rate of suicides is with men 65+.

I'm 58 and making my plan to retire at 60. I fantasize about having my whole day to myself instead of the daily grind at the office. My husband retired a couple of years ago and he told me to take the first year to figure out what my interests are before committing to anything. I think he is right in a way as I'm inclined to want to join every group and feel overwhelmed with responsibilities!

Love the Selfie Saturday to reach out to friends and family!
