As you age, it’s common to become less social.
Mainly because it’s less convenient to engage with others and make those important connections.
You may retire from work, your kids may move outta the house, and – the saddest one – some of your friends and loved ones may pass away.
But just because someone’s retired doesn’t mean they should stop socializing.
In fact, quite the opposite. Staying socially engaged as an older adult or senior is more important than ever.
And you have the choice to take ownership and experiences these benefits of social interaction:
#1 Improves mental health
#2 Improves physical health
#3 Improves brain health
#4 Increases safety
#5 Provides access to personal care & help
#6 Helps with learning technology
#7 Gives a sense of belonging & purpose
#8 Helps with growth & learning
#9 Improves healthy behaviors all around
Don’t be afraid to get out there (as in, outta your comfort zone) and socialize with others. Interacting and connecting with others is soo good for your mind, body, and soul.
