The Unexpected Routine That Transformed My Retirement from Isolation to Joy
Research has shown that people who follow a daily routine have better sleep patterns, improved mental health, and lower stress levels.
This is because routines provide a sense of structure and familiarity, which can be very comforting.
I started by setting regular sleeping and waking times, followed by a healthy breakfast and a morning walk.
Gradually, I added more activities like drawing, reading, and gardening.
Having this simple structure in place provided me with a sense of direction and purpose, turning my unfulfilled retirement days into an opportunity for growth and self-improvement.
