As you approach your golden years, you might be wondering, “What to Expect in Your 50s?” After all, you’re no longer raising children. While you’ll likely still have a full-time job and a family, the amount of time you have for hobbies and other interests is diminishing. But don’t despair! There are plenty of things you can do to enjoy your golden years and have fun, even if you’re not quite there yet.
Your fiftys are the perfect time to get started giving back to the world, if you want to feel fulfilled. If you’ve never taken dancing lessons or learned a new language, now’s the time to do it! If you’re not already involved in any of these activities, try starting a book club to improve your language skills. Try reading 30 Common Words You’re Using All Wrong to improve your vocabulary. Yoga is another great way to improve your flexibility and strength.
As you approach your 50s, you should continue to have annual checkups with your doctor, which will include screening tests for conditions such as colon cancer. While no one enjoys talking about a colonoscopy, you should have one yearly. You can also keep a journal, recording doctor’s appointments, and medications you’re taking. Your health care provider should be able to tell you when you should schedule your mammograms and check ups.
