Path to Purpose: Affirmations for Thriving in Retirement

Affirmations Sensei

Hi there! I want to share something that’s really made a difference in my life, something that’s helped me move from feeling a little lost to genuinely thriving in this new chapter. I know we all bring our own stories, our own journeys, but maybe, just maybe, what I’ve learned can be helpful to you, too.

I didn’t expect to feel like this. I'm currently getting near my retirement. For years I thought this experience would be pure joy and freedom, but as the time is getting closer and closer, I found myself wondering, "and then what?" The purpose that had once driven me, that made me feel valued and needed, seemed a little faded. I missed that already. I missed me. Then, little by little, I found a new way forward through daily affirmations—simple words that I started telling myself each day. And I can honestly say it’s helped me find a renewed sense of purpose, direction, and joy. I’d love to share this approach with you.
