How to deal with a parent s retirement syndrome?

After retirement, the elderly are prone to biological clock disorders due to changes in their work and rest routines. Together with my father, we worked out a post-retirement schedule to help him live a more regular life, adjust his biological clock, and establish and adapt to a new rhythm of life. For example, what time to get up every day, what time to do morning exercises, what time to walk birds, what time to go to the enterprise, what time to go shopping, etc.

When people reach the age of retirement, it is best to adjust their mentality according to their personality and physical condition, either find something to do within their ability, or settle down to exercise and maintain their health every day and help with some housework.

Continue to exert residual heat, reflect self-worth, and enrich the spirit. Cultivate hobbies, exercise, cultivate sentiments, and let the spirit have sustenance. While maintaining old friends, establish and expand new circle of friends, communicate more, and relieve loneliness.

Maintain a regular sleep schedule.

If you are interested in letting him learn something new, it will divert his attention and arouse his enthusiasm for life. I have a colleague who retired and joined an elderly orchestra where he learned to play the horn a few days a week, and the band also performed at events on a regular basis.

After my father retired, we actively mobilized him to participate in various social activities and expand his social circle in his later years. My father not only often went out to visit old friends and talk about friendships, but also participated in the University for the Elderly, community associations, village Yangko teams, etc., and his life was well organized, and he felt that he lived a very fulfilling life every day.

In order to keep my father up to the "situation" and not be a "laggard", we taught him to surf the Internet, write blogs, post WeChat, and mobilize him to register at the University for the Elderly. Now, my father's enterprising consciousness and fashion concept of "keeping pace with the times" are very strong, and from time to time I can hear new terms such as "talent", "low-carbon" and "Internet celebrity" from his mouth.

After retiring, my father picked up various hobbies of his youth, such as fishing, walking, calligraphy, painting, Yangge twisting, and tai chi. Hobbies dispelled the loneliness accumulated in my father's heart and enriched my father's life in his later years.

Before his father retired, he was a "senior engineer", and several companies were lacking the technology he was good at, so after his father retired, he became a "technical consultant" for several companies, and went to the company for a month or two to "guide the maze". The residual heat was brought into play, and my father found new spiritual sustenance, and lived a "taste" in his later years.
