At about 20 months of early retirement, I was starting to get the blahs - the retirement blahs. Here are some of the factors which led to my blahs.
It seems that I'm experiencing several plateaus simultaneously, in weight loss, strength increase, and investment gains. Not seeing consistent gains on a weekly basis is a little frustrating and is probably contributing to the blahs. Improvement will likely require more intensity, and I'm not ready to do that in all areas.
For now, my solution will be to recognize what has been accomplished and take a planned break for each of the areas. For example, I should celebrate the weight already lost, and achieving zero debt by paying off our mortage. In addition, I will do a review of the strategies for each area, and make changes as needed. Hopefully, these actions will help me get out of the blahs.
