更好的完成人生的旅程:如何在退休后保持平衡
        平衡的生活方式  发布于2011年7月25日
Life is a journey, we are born, we grow, we live, we work, we grow old and we die. Throughout this  life journey we’re faced with milestones that can be tough to conquerr 

     生命是一场旅程,我们出生,成长,生活,工作,变老,然后死去。尽管在生命的旅程中我们也许会遇到难以跨越的里程碑。

The milestone from college to adulthood is one that many struggle with, but many also struggle with transitioning from the rigors of adult life to the changes of retirement and older years.  If you’re facing this transition, or you have parents who are, here are a few things to consider.

       很多人正挣扎于从大学走上社会的这个里程碑,但是也有很多成年人正经历从成年人步入退休人士和老年人的行列。如果你或者你的父母正面临这种过渡,一下几点需要注意。

Step 1. Communicate your fears

第一步.  沟通你的恐惧

Know that as with any transition, it can be scary.  There are a lot of unknowns, some intimidating changes and a radical shift in what has been known as daily life.

     要知道任何一种过渡,都可能会引起恐惧。因为会发生很多未知的事,还有一些惊人的变化,日常生活的某些事也会发生根本性的改变。

Communication is the best tool you have to deal with the fear that comes with the transition. Communicate with your spouse, siblings, or friends in this time about what you’re going through.

      沟通是你对待这种伴随着过渡而产生的恐惧的最好方式。这种时候,你可以和你的配偶、兄弟姐妹、朋友沟通,告诉他们你正在经历的事情。

If you’ve got a parent going through the transition, be supportive, but not intrusive.  If they need to talk, listen and love them, don’t dismiss them.  If they need company, plan a monthly or weekly time that you can spend together, whether it’s over coffee and lunch or at one of your houses with the grand-kids.

         如果你的父母正经历这种过渡,请给予支持,不要干涉他们。如果他们需要跟人谈话,请倾听并且爱他们,不要让他们独自一人面对一切。如果他们需要有人陪伴,每月或者每周都抽出时间陪他们,不论是喝咖啡还是吃午饭,或者只是在房间里和孩子们呆在一起。

Step 2. Have a plan

第二步. 制定一个计划

If your plan is to just stop working all together and live the “retired life,” this will not work for most people. Just like everyone tells college students to have a plan for what they will do when they graduate, adults need a plan for what they will do when they retire.  What should your plan include? Friends, finances, free time and fitness.

    

      如果你的计划就是停止工作,享受“退休生活”,对大部分人来说,这个计划不会奏效的。就像人们对大学生说的,一定要制定一个毕业后做什么的计划一样,成年人也要制定一个退休以后做什么的计划。你的计划应该包括哪些内容呢?朋友,财务,空余时间还有健身。

Just because you’re retiring it doesn’t make you a hermit.  People were made to be with other people, so you need to get out and spend time with other people. Maybe it’s a game of golf, a cup of coffee, church, community group or spending more time with the family.  Spending time with other people will help your mind stay active and your attitude stay cheerful. 

    退休不会使你成为一个隐士。人是群居动物,所以你需要走出去,跟其他人在一起度过一些时光。也许只是去打一场高尔夫球,喝一杯咖啡,做一次礼拜,参加一个社区组织,或者花时间跟家人呆在一起。经常跟其他人在一起会使你的思维保持清晰,也会帮助你保持乐观的生活态度。

Many people worry about their finances when they retire.  While some have the benefit of social security, for many this doesn’t cover basic needs.  You can get a part time job doing something you always wanted to do, you can start a small business helping others, or you can fulfill you dream and work on your hobby (crafting, knitting, woodwork etc) and sell your creations on Etsy or Ebay. 

     很多人担心自己退休之后的经济状况。虽然有些人可以享受社会保障,但对很多人来说,这些钱根本不能满足他们的基本需求。你可以找一份兼职工作,去做一些你一直想做的事,你可以开一个小店帮助别人,或者你可以去实现自己的梦想,做自己感兴趣的工作(手工艺,编织,木工等),你还可以在易趣或者伊利斯上面出售自己的作品。

Free time is something that many people seek throughout their lives.  As you’re planning for your retirement keep a running list of things you want to do when you retire.  Things like go on vacations, read books, write a book, spend time with your grand-kids and take classes in cooking.  Make your list as specific as possible and you’ll never run out of things to do. 

     很多人穷其一生都在寻找自由的时间。当你制定退休计划的时候,对于你退休后想做的事情列一个清单。像旅行,读书,写书,跟孩子们在一起,或者是去上烹饪课。尽可能详细的列出你的清单,这样你就永远不会没有事情可以做。

Fitness will help you stay in shape and enjoy your retirement as well.  Join a walking club in your community or online, try exercises like yoga and biking, and do exercises that will help you keep muscle tone and balance well into your senior years. 

    健康可以使你保持体型,并且更好的享受你的退休时光。在你的社区或者网上参加一个步行俱乐部,尝试练瑜伽和自行车并且练习,这会帮助你的肌肉很好的保持张力和平衡,直到你晚年。

Step 3. Take it one day at a time

  第三步. 一次花费一天的时间

Maybe you’ve lived the life of a work-a-holic until now.  If that’s the case, now you can implement some life balance and really enjoy your life.  Plan at least 2 activities that will get you either out of the house or keep you busy in the house each day, and also plan activities for each day that will give you a chance to relax like reading a book, meeting a friend for lunch or visiting a local park.

   也许你到现在都是一个工作款。如果这样,现在你可以尝试一些生活的平衡,真正享受自己的生活。每天不管是去外面还是在家里忙,至少给自己计划两个活动。还有,每天计划一些能够让自己放松的活动,像看书,跟朋友一起去吃一顿午饭,或者去当地的公园逛逛。

So what’s the best news about transitioning from a busy adult life to a retired adult life?  You can do it!  As a retired adult you have just as many possibilities and opportunities, if not more, than you did a busy adult.  You just have to be proactive and have a plan for what you want your retirement and future to look like.

       那么对从繁忙到退休的成年人来说,什么是最好的消息呢?你可以这样做。作为一个退休的成年人,就算你的机会没有一个繁忙的成年人多,至少也会一样多。你仅仅需要一点远见,还有为你想要的退休生活和未来制定一个计划。

If you’re approaching this transition, or are struggling with it, here are a few resources to check out: The Transition Network (for women over 50), The First 30 Days, Beliefnet, Care2, What’s Next in Your Life?, and Ode Magazine.  Each of these communities can give you the support you need to successfully transition from a busy adult to a balanced retired adult.

    如果你正经历这种转变,或者正挣扎于这种转变,以下几个资源可以给你帮助:转变网(专为50岁以上的妇女准备),第一个30天,信仰网,第二次关怀,下一个在你的生命中出现的是什么?欧德杂志?这每一个团体都可以给你你想要的支持,帮助你从一个忙碌的成年人成功转变为生活平衡的退休人士。
