I know I am repeating a visual aide but…..
A Forbes article yesterday was titled “Why Is Retirement So Stressful?” While I am adamantly NOT retired, for all practical purposes, I am for the summer.
So, I read the article. He references a study of the 43 most stressful life events a person experiences. Then he bounces a typical retirement against the list of 43, pointing out that retirement typically ticks off many of these major stressors all at once.
Here is the full list…
In my case, I have had 15 of the 43… in one month! I should be locked up in a stress ward! Instead, this “peaceful, easy feeling” just builds and builds. Everything fell into place. Everything seems to go silky smooth… and even when things don’t, it doesn’t matter. I have learned to embrace my inner Spicolli.
