00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:03,799
Speaker 1: Are you bored in your retirement or do you think

2
00:00:03,839 --> 00:00:07,440
you're going to be bored when you do retire. Well,

3
00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:10,320
recently in my Facebook group, I saw a post that said,

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,279
what's your number one fear in retirement? And over and

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,879
above money, the number one fear came back is boredom.

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,039
They think they're going to be bored when they retire.

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,440
So today, in this video, I am tackling that big

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,120
one boredom because, let's face it, we did not retire

9
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:32,560
to stare at the walls all day. So stick around

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,600
as I share about fifteen ish proven tips to overcome

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,159
boreden and make your retirement remarkable. My name's Marien Dobransky.

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,880
Business life starts at retirement. Let's dig in. First up,

13
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,240
I always say, dive into something that you've always wanted

14
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,679
to try. Make a list of things you wanted to do,

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,799
things you wanted to be, things you wanted to become.

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,200
Whether it's gardening, painting, woodworking, learning to play the guitar, hobbies,

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,319
anything are. They're just fantastic ways to stay engaged. So

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,400
make that list of anything you've always wanted to try,

19
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:16,680
because this is the time, if not now, when so

20
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,439
explore a new hobby or something new that'll keep you excited,

21
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,359
and even if it's a little bit scary, even better

22
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:26,319
because it puts you out of your comfort zone and

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,959
lets you try some new things. Number two, take an

24
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,480
online course. Now, thanks to the Internet, you can learn

25
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,879
allmost anything from the comfort of your home. There's platforms

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,680
like you to Me, Chrisera Masterclass. They all have courses

27
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,519
from photography to cooking, and of course check out your

28
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,840
favorite YouTube channels and see what they have. If you

29
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:54,239
go into YouTube how to and almost anything will come

30
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:58,319
up and try it all. It's an exciting time. I've

31
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:01,359
been recently trying a few cookings. Some have been good,

32
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,439
some not so much, but it's been fun trying. Number

33
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:09,120
three and I really enjoy this one. Start journaling or

34
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:12,800
start writing, and there's a few tips that I think

35
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,879
I would do. A gratitude journal is always great before

36
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,439
you go to bed, if you leave your daily thoughts

37
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:22,199
in there, saying today I was grateful for and whatever

38
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,439
happened in your life, be grateful for. Or do you

39
00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:27,400
have a story to tell. Maybe it's time you did

40
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,960
your memoir so that your kids have a history of

41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,680
your life. Where you met your significant other, what you

42
00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:35,919
felt like when they were born, some of your fears,

43
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,240
some of your thoughts, some of your achievements, whatever it is.

44
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,520
Maybe you just need to start a blog or even

45
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,159
a vlog, share your life experiences, maybe with family, with friends.

46
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:48,680
Did you always wanted to write a book? Now is

47
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,000
the time? Tip number four, Read more books. I love books,

48
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,960
and in fact I like paper books. Still lots and

49
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,680
lots of people read on their iPad or their phone,

50
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,439
and that's okay in a pinch, but I love I

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,520
just love the feel of paper books. Maybe join a

52
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,800
book club, or better yet, start your own book club.

53
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,800
It's the perfect time to tackle those novels, any of

54
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,960
the dramas that you wanted, self help books, whatever it is.

55
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,360
Any book is almost a good book. Now onto some

56
00:03:24,439 --> 00:03:29,520
physical activity things. Join a fitness class. Now is the

57
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,560
perfect time. No matter what level of exercise that you

58
00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:37,680
can do, now join ones with your level of exercise.

59
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Staying active is one of the many many keys to

60
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,680
staying happy. Tra yoga, plates, zumba, water aerobics, whatever it is.

61
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:50,000
There's cheer aerobics or cheer yoga. Even if you're not

62
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,159
able to do more, whatever it is, join and take

63
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:56,120
a fitness class. So over and above staying active. Hopefully

64
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,479
you'll meet people in that class as well. Tip numbers.

65
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,560
Walk or hike. There's so many amazing places you can go,

66
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,960
local parks, local trails, your own neighborhood. Walking is amazing

67
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,000
exercise and really it gives you a chance to clear

68
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040
your mind if you leave the headphones behind, which I'm

69
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,959
guilty of taking too many times. But leave the headphones

70
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,360
behind and just walk. It's such a freeing activity. Number seven,

71
00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:28,199
Learn a new sport now. Pickleball is one of the

72
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:35,439
fastest growing sports around. Maybe try pickleball, golf, tennis, botchy ball.

73
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:41,639
There's so many different options for retirees that you could

74
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:43,879
try a new one almost every day. Try a couple,

75
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:47,839
see what fits you. They're social, they're fun, they're great

76
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,079
for staying fit. So then now onto sort of social connections.

77
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,000
So a few tips here to stay busy and not

78
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,399
be bored. Volunteering. Volunteering in your community, helping others is

79
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,560
just an amazing way to feel fulfilled, to feel like

80
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,680
you're giving back. It's a wonderful feeling. So maybe volunteer

81
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,120
at a food bank, an animal shelter, a community center. Heck,

82
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,560
I knew a lady. Sadly she's no longer with us,

83
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,040
but I knew her she would go volunteer at the

84
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,879
nick U unit at the hospital and just hold babies.

85
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:25,680
That is wonderful. Number nine. Join a club or a group.

86
00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:29,879
So again similar to the hobbies, but this one here

87
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,199
is just more for the social activity. And oftentimes if

88
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,439
you join a club or a group that you have

89
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:37,759
an interest in. So if you if you've always wanted

90
00:05:37,759 --> 00:05:40,439
to do photography and you join a photography club, there's

91
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,560
an instant connection with the other people in the group,

92
00:05:43,879 --> 00:05:46,680
and hopefully you'll find your new best friend there. It's

93
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,279
a great way to stay connected, not lonely, and have fun.

94
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,560
And then number ten, which is what we often forget,

95
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,319
is just reconnect or stay connected with your friends and family.

96
00:05:57,439 --> 00:06:00,199
Most of the time we take this for granted that

97
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,040
they'll always be there, but why not do regular dates.

98
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,160
Even with my grown children, every once in a while,

99
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:08,920
I'll say, okay, boys, just you one boy at a time.

100
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,560
There can be forty and thirty eight one boy out

101
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,399
of time. Let's just go out for dinner in a movie.

102
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,079
And then I do that. I try to do that

103
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,600
hard with my grands as well, one child or two

104
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,120
at a time and just go and have some fun.

105
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:23,439
Make it a point to check in with your loved ones.

106
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:26,879
It's a great way to stay social and it really

107
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:30,959
feels good. So next sort of segment is a little

108
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:36,120
bit about tips and exploration, So adventure and exploration. So

109
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,319
maybe travel more. I know that's on our list and

110
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,680
we're doing a lot of that this year. But whether

111
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,639
it's even just a weekend road trip or the cruise

112
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,240
that you've always dreamed about, exploring new places it really

113
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:54,040
keeps life exciting. And then if you're not able to

114
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,800
travel right now or travel often, maybe host then in

115
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,439
a then at your house where it says this week

116
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,399
we're going to be exploring the Costa Rica and then

117
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,800
have some videos playing, have people talk about it, share

118
00:07:09,839 --> 00:07:13,480
a book about it, and have some fun things about travel.

119
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,639
When you're still at home saving money retirement is the

120
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,600
perfect time to check this off of your bucket list.

121
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,399
And also, as long as travel, be a local tourist

122
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,720
so you don't have to go far to find the adventures.

123
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,800
You can visit local museums, any botanical gardens, the zoo

124
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:37,839
in your area, historical landmarks, parks, adventures, any of those

125
00:07:37,879 --> 00:07:41,199
types of things in your local area that aren't expensive

126
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:44,519
and you don't have to go far so and then

127
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:47,839
just sort of new experiences and I know these ones

128
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,759
we've sort of touched on, but try new skills, put

129
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,199
yourself outside of your comfort zone. Maybe do a diy

130
00:07:55,279 --> 00:08:02,199
home project. Maybe it's learn knitting, crochet, something new that

131
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:06,480
puts you a little bit unusual. It is so rewarding,

132
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:10,839
even if your pottery looks horrible, it's so much fun

133
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,839
to try something new and again, cooking and baking, experiment

134
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:18,800
with different recipes from around the world. Maybe with that

135
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,399
Costa Rica night you also say, everyone check out what

136
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,160
kind of cuisines are at Costa Rica, and everyone bring

137
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,959
one dish from your favorite favorite place. It's so many

138
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,639
endless possibilities. And then number fifteen, which is very very interesting.

139
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,960
Start or at least think about a side hustle or

140
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,799
like they call it, the gig economy. So maybe if

141
00:08:44,799 --> 00:08:49,519
you're able to turn your passion into your profit, so

142
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,080
you could sell handmade crafts if you make them, you

143
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,120
could teach others things. You could start a YouTube channel

144
00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:57,840
like this one. Heck, you could go through your house

145
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,519
and find things you no longer do that you want

146
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,720
to get rid of and you want to downside post

147
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:06,480
them on Facebook marketplace, even as low as a dollar,

148
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,799
who cares. It gives you something to do, a little

149
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:12,440
bit of spending money and away you go. The possibilities
