"When we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us: power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us! Our hate is not hurting them at al, but our hate is turning our days and nights into a hellish turmoil."

With fewer time restraints and without many of the social precepts that hold us back in our younger years, we can realistically look forward to reinventing ourselves.
We are able to focus, often for the first time in years, on taking great care of ourselves. The cumulative life experiences of 50 plus years can give an invaluable advantage when it comes to incorporating wellness into our lives.
Think back to your approach to such endeavors in your twenties or thirties. There was always something else to do and so many priorities jockeying for your time. Many younger people attempt to take on "wellness" as a foe to be tackled or a system to be cheated with vitamins or expensive supplements.
Even the most health-conscious may find themselves barely finding time to jump on a treadmill between endless work, school or family obligations. In the midst of this chaos, realizing that total wellness is as much about the mind and soul as it is about the body, seems nearly impossible.
While the world does not come to a stand-still at retirement, there is an undeniable opportunity to garner a better understanding of our own bodies, minds and souls. Once we've been around the block a couple of times we don't take ourselves so seriously and aren't as afraid to try new things. Many of the activities we have always wanted to try such as cycling or kayaking can become excellent ways to exercise and socialize with active friends.
The self assurance which comes with experience can make variations on traditional exercise, such as water aerobics or yoga for flexibility, increasingly attractive options. There are no parameters on what we can do to keep our selves fit long into our golden years. Retirement is an ideal and exciting time to make the mind-body-soul wellness connection.
It's not about pretending you're twenty or squeezing yourself into some one else's idea of health or fitness. Nor is it about spending a fortune for the latest and greatest machine or workout gear.
Money does not need to dictate the level of health or fitness we reach in retirement. It's about thinking outside the box, trying new things and loving life.
Take some time to think about your routine and ask yourself, "When did I last try something new?" The timing is perfect and the prospect of years of rich, healthy living lay ahead. With a little research and a fresh perspective your retirement could become the best years of your life.
