Holiday Blues Receipe – For The Over 50 Active Adult
So, you are a baby boomer active adult living in one of America’s posh over 55 communities with all the ammenities one could only dream about and you’ve got the “blues”. Well here is a receipe for relief:
1. Accept all Invitations – play a round of golf with a buddy or two at one of the outstanding Active Adult Retirement golf courses. Take a walk around and mingle with fellow retirement community neighbors; socialize at all costs. 55+ active adults are suppose to be “active” not sitting around alone watching tv. If you are living in one of those retirement gated communites – bust out and go drinking, eating and enjoy what the good life is all about.
2. Help Others- it always feels good to help another. Go out of your way to lend a helping hand to someone who needs it. Your own retirement community is filled with people needing your love and attention. To find out about local opportunities, contact area schools, churches and charitable organizations. Seek out and you shall receive big time!
3. Eat Healthy and Often: put the diet asside and enjoy gourmet dining with great conversation while relaxing with friends. A local 55+ community resort could be your meal ticket.
4. Travel to Your Favorite Resort – if you got go, then go – what are you waiting for. Arizona is loaded with cheapo or mucho expensivo gettaways. Either one, will do you. This is not the time to count pennies – throw some money around, it will make you feel good.
5. Get Plenty of Rest: you will need it to overcome the “Holiday Blues” and keep you in the “Holiday Spirit”. Just try not to sleep alone.
Do the above and feel the results – happiness or depression, which one sounds good to you?
