Seniors, how do you recharge your battery when you're running low of energy?

I have lived alone for 9 years now am not worn out by family issues any more yet, some days, I feel completely drained of energy.  I have found that the best thing for me, at such times, is to just do nothing at all that is not absolutely essential. I take frozen dinners out of the freezer and leave the fresh vegetables and raw meat for another day.  I decide to use whatever is in the house so that I don't need to collect shopping.  I ignore the vacuum cleaner in the corner and also forget about the dusting.

We can never recharge our batteries if we continue to drain them as we go through our day.  To be recharged we need to ignore many of those things that we think NEED to be done and just say to ourselves "Tomorrow is another day - those chores can wait".

I take a nap or do something I enjoy like read.

I read a portion of the Bible.I reflect on my blessings and thank God for his guidance and direction 

1.  I try to get a good night's sleep.
2.  I keep myself in shape by pedaling my recumbent tricycle 4.6 miles per day.
3.  I take 10 mg of Ritalin (by doctor's prescription) in late afternoon.

I drink coffee.

sit in my favourite chair, turn on the TV and have a nap.

Sleep, or a cup of tea.

I love sleep!  I know many older people do not sleep much, but I sleep like a baby it seems.

I take a vacation. My husband and I climb into our RV and drive, usually to the desert, to rockhound. We're both retired and lucky to be able to get away and enjoy the beautiful Eastern Sierra to soak up and enjoy the energy of the sun.

A PM siesta usually does the trick.

Eat. Have a decent healthy meal or snack. 

I'm in my 50's, so not what I'd class as a senior, but if I'm tired, I usually either go for a 20 minute power nap or get up and do something that requires walking or using my brain.

naps .................

My 'go to' pick me up is a cup of tea, always cures a lot of things for me. Just sit and try not to think about anything in particular except enjoying a cup of tea. 

Lot's of vitamins and a good nap. 

I plug it in and then I ask SIRI what is my battery level ...:) 

I watch a Joe Biden speech.  After listening to that tired idiot, I feel like an empowered genius.
