I've been retired for a few years now and find the biggest "danger" is the temptation of staying within your comfort zone.
For me, the solution was first found in karate, which I found quite challenging (especially the gradings), however arthritis and sports injuries have sadly put paid to that, so I recently took up guitar again. I now play regularly at a number of "players nights", which I find quite stressful as I hate being the centre of attention, so feel quite self conscious playing in front of an audience. Great fun though, and a real challenge for me that gives me a great buzz.
