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".

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Lot's of vitamins and a good nap.
