If you are a member of the aging process or know someone who is, I am happy to share some useful information about sober living in Sioux City, Iowa. I am a transition coach and trainer and have seen many older adults (and even young adults) struggle with the change in lifestyle and coping with anxiety and depression that accompany aging. In particular, living on a fixed income can be very challenging for the aging population and one of the more difficult parts of transitioning to a higher income is adjusting to the reduced services, which many recipients of retirement benefits receive. However, there are also many positive benefits to living at home or using so called transitional living facilities. Here are some things to keep in mind: Many people don’t want to consider transitioning to a higher income, especially if they already have a job and can make the money. But many of the same benefits exist in transitioning to a lower income as well – reduced stress, security, freedom, reduced health care costs, enhanced social interaction and a whole lot more. In fact, many studies indicate that those who remain living on a fixed income but make adjustments to their lifestyle and routine find that they enjoy life more than those who simply continue working and surviving paycheck to paycheck. The transition to retirement can be very scary for some people. But don’t let fear keep you from exploring the possibilities of a so-called transition. It is a life-changing event that can be full of rewards, regardless of your situation. For more information about sober living in Sioux City, contact the nearest transition office and volunteer. The Sioux City Health Department has several transition service programs and workshops that you can attend. You can also get more information about transitioning to another income by searching online. If you are considering retirement, now is a great time to get planning. Once you’ve made the transition, you will be pleasantly surprised at all the extra choices and options available to you!
