Second Innings of life is a blessing of God which can be utilized in a better way to contribute something to family, friends and society in large. For better utilization of second innings one has to improve the quality of life.
The span of our first innings of life is about 60 - 65 years having two phases. The first phase starts from our birth and end till we complete our education or starts earning our livelihood. During the first phase of first innings, we were disciplined by our parents and teachers and most of our decisions were taken by them. In the second phase, we started earning our livelihood and it's span is about 40-45 years. In this phase we were disciplined by our employer if doing job or business norms if doing business.
The second innings of our life generally starts from the age of 60-65 years and it continued till death. In the second innings, we are free from discipline or control by others. However, it is better to be self disciplined in the second innings to improve the quality of life. One has to practice self discipline in the second innings as we were not habituated to be self disciplined in the first innings of our life.
During the second innings, we have to take care of our physical, mental and spiritual health for improving the quality of life which is not possible without self discipline. For improving physical health, we have to follow certain discipline in our daily life routine which includes proper diet, exercise and sufficient rest. Mental health is also important as it is having linkage with physical health. Without mental health, one cannot improve one's physical health. With good mental health one can have sound sleep in the night which is very much essential for maintaining good health. Spiritual health is essential for our mental health which indirectly affects our physical health too. Improvement in spiritual health give us mental peace which is required for leading stress free life. Stress free mind helps in the improvement of physical health. We will discuss in detail in upcoming posts.
Congratulations for starting a new life post retirement. Hope to get more blogs on future. I have different take on self discipline part. I think self discipline is always there in everyone's life. In the childhood, while working and after retirement. Our employer just tell us what are the rules and regulations and is applicable till office hours only. Outside the workplace we have different life. That's also self regulated. So till retirement we have self disciplined life. However, the problem starts after that. Many of us don't know what to do with the time available with us. We are not ready to face the free life.
