Purpose After Paychecks: Maintaining Well-Being After Retirement

April 25, 2025

Retirement is a major life transition, not just a break from work, but a shift in purpose and routine. While some enjoy the freedom, others may feel restless or disconnected. With thoughtful planning, retirement can be deeply fulfilling. Start by easing into your new routine. Revisit old passions, try new hobbies, and stay socially connected through friends, clubs, or volunteering. Mentoring or part-time work can also bring purpose and structure. Remember, your identity is more than a job title. Retirement is a chance to redefine what matters to you. If you're struggling with the adjustment, WMCHealth Physicians and Bon Secours Medical Group offer mental health support to help you thrive.
