You all have strengths you bring to this phase in your life of retirement. In order to help you think about your strengths, you'll need to think about these questions in five different areas:
1. Work reorientation - the degree to which you have emotionally distanced yourself from taking your personal identity from your work.
2. Attitude toward retirement - your perception of what your next life stage will be like for you once you leave your current job.
3. Directedness - that quality about a person which determines whether their attitudes and decisions are more directed, influenced, or controlled by themselves (self-directedness) or more directed by others (other-directedness).
4. Current life satisfaction - the degree to which you believe that you have achieved contentment and peace at this point in your life.
5. Adaptability - the degree of personal flexibility you can exercise at any given time in any given situation.
We'll go into each of these areas separately over the next few posts. Let me know your thoughts on these, and where you think you are right now.
