REINVENT RETIREMENT
Wow! it is already the middle of February! The days are rolling by as I step into reimagining my own retirement years.
It seems I have "retired" more than once. And yet, each time it has led to new opportunities and exciting new adventures.
As I have been coaching over the last several years, I have found that as I grow older I love connecting with others that are getting ready to leave their career and step into their "next age".
But, I have also discovered that there can be a "dark side" to retirement. In my own life, I have found things that I do that make this new chapter fun, exciting and keep me on my toes.
I am enjoying time with my family and my grandsons.
It is amazing to see our 5-year-old on skis and our 2-year-old all bundled up and already hiking the trails.
 
I'm finding that the years after 65 are full of new challenges and also so much that brings joy into what I have reimagined of my vision of retirement.
As the year goes on I will share with you the new insights and tips for reimagining your retirement years.

ENJOYING OUR BEST YEARS
As you grow older, you naturally experience a decline in your cognitive function. You process information more slowly. You may forget things often and with more frequency. Appointments slip your mind, you can never find your keys, but that's all the normal type of decline we experience.
In reality, we all experience cognitive decline differently and a lot of that has to do with how we live our lives now. It isn't inevitable for you if you take steps to protect against it.
There are still 90-year-olds sharp as a tack. Many high-level politicians and business people remain on top in their 80s. There are lifestyle steps you can take to protect yourself and there are risk factors that you can manage. Your cognitive function isn't a write-off.
There are three main types of cognitive function related to aging.
- Memory impairment – this is what occurs alongside normal aging.
- Amnestic – this is where you experience mild memory loss, such as missing appointments or events, struggling to find the right word, or misplacing things.
- Dementia – this is the global cognitive decline severe enough to impact daily functioning.
The good news is that you can take steps to protect yourself from all three of these cognitive declines.
