My friend Gita started her teaching career as science teacher in school.When her children grew up she took study leave and went fir P. hd program.She taught in college and got actively involved in research work. Since science subjects need lab for higher education.Gita was maintaining her research lab also along with teaching assignment.She was feeling very much stressed out.
After her retirement Gita was looking for work environment that doesn’t stress her out.
When one is young, a high-pressure work environment can feel challenging. As we slog through the years in ones career, that sensation usually transforms into stress.
If ones high-stress career is taking a toll on ones health or relationships, one should not feel sorry about looking for a healthier work environment.
My friend Gita did same after retirement. She started doing science arts writing and published many good poems in good science magazine. She is happy in writing that keeps her mentally occupied at the same time full of energy.
Moral of story is friends don’t feel hesitant to alter ones track of activities after retirement. Follow that track which one always wished to follow but somehow was not able to do so.
