Reminiscing about the past: Retirees can revisit their youth, work life and family life and relive those good times.

Hobbies after school: Retirees can learn some new skills and join some interest groups, such as learning calligraphy, painting, music, dancing, etc.

You can participate in some study classes, cultural classes, etc., to learn new skills and make your life more colorful.

Health care: Retired elderly can maintain a moderate amount of exercise, such as walking, Tai Chi, swimming, etc., to maintain a healthy state; they can also participate in some intellectual and physical exercise activities, such as bridge, Go, games, etc.

Cultivate hobbies: You can engage in things you like, such as painting, calligraphy, gardening, etc., to enrich your life.

Retirees can use their own time to learn things they are interested in, such as painting and music.

Sightseeing: Retired elderly can go sightseeing, enjoy the beautiful scenery, experience different cultures and customs, and enrich their life experience.

You can choose to travel abroad, or a domestic adventure trip, which can promote mental health while visiting beautiful scenery.

Travel can expand people's horizons and knowledge, and let people experience different cultures and customs.

Clean up housework: After retirement, you will have more time to clean your home, organize your closets and lockers regularly, and make your home more tidy and comfortable.

Social Volunteering: Retired elderly can participate in social voluntary activities, make some contributions to the society within their ability, and reflect their own value and role.

You can participate in some community-organized activities to meet more friends and increase social activities.

Psychological Counseling: Retired elderly can participate in psychological counseling courses to learn some psychological adjustment skills to eliminate negative emotions and maintain a positive attitude.

Communicate with children and grandchildren: Retired seniors can communicate with their children and grandchildren, share their experiences and wisdom, and establish a harmonious family atmosphere.

Pay attention to social interaction: regular interaction with family, friends, neighbors, increase the quality of life, and also be able to communicate and exchange ist with the younger generation.

Reading and writing: Retired elderly can read some classic literary works, humanities and social science works, and also write some memoirs, diaries, etc. to record their own life trajectory.

After the elderly retire, if they are in good health and do not want to live a life of "no work", they can choose to re-employ. You don’t care about how much money you earn. Find some easy work. The important thing is that you have a spiritual sustenance and don’t let others think you are too idle.

I also hope that the elderly can live according to their own wishes and the way they like after retirement. Don't force yourself, don't be too tired, and do things worthy of your conscience.
