50+ community Weekend Check-in February 21-23, 2020
Hi sweet people in 50+ 
. I wish you all a wonderful weekend.
Low energy levels can make it difficult to be productive at work or to engage in everyday activities.
How do you get a lift in energy, what are your natural energy boosters?

Being outside in the sun
@mutter3
Nice mutter, the sun ( in moderation) is a great booster for our immune system.
I have nothing positive
What i mean is that im stuck is something i created over time and in a bad place. My actions are not good, my thoughts are worse. Im stuck trying to hide something im ashamed of, but wasnt all my fault.
@juliak1968
It sounds like you live in your own "prison". I hope that being here will help you to get unstuck and open up about what is burdening you so much so that you can let go of it, hugs.
@amiablePeace77
Yes, prison led to my new prison. I am working hard to find my fit, and better myself. Lots on this site has helped me find my voice again, process a lot, and its time for me to fix this mess im in, so i can move forward, and stop suffering.
Your very wise! 😊
@amiablePeace77
Hold your tounge and listen
and try to envision
all the life that im missing living life in this prison
By my own admission
this life can be vicious
with bruises and stitches
like a lake without fishes
like a well with no wishes
always being suspicious - of what im facing
my mind is racing
in my cell pacing
my thoughts are complacent
from all the things that im facing
time is a wasting
.......time is a wasting
@juliak1968
I hope that you will walk through the door out of this prison, there is so much life waiting for you, HUGS
@amiablePeace77
Big blessings! Its amazing how loud and violent my landlotd is being when i try to pay the rent. He asked me to move out 2 months ago after i finally got up the nerve to request the repairs be made. Ive had so many things not fixed many broken over 5 years like a window and the heater below it. Its amazingly unbelievable. I just was trying to pay my rent again but he still is refusing to take it.
@juliak1968
Hugs juliak, noone has the right to "bark" at you. Sorry you have to put up with that.
It does not sound like a good place to live, may I ask what is keeping you from moving out?
@amiablePeace77
Im searching for a new place, but wasnt expecting to be asked to move in the winter just because i asked for repairs to get done. The landlord is a very heavy drinker, he neglected my apartment from the begining over 8 years ago. He doesnt have a legal occupency for this place, makes me pay in cash, doesnt pay any taxes . Im disabled and have no help at all. The stress is making me suicidal, ive called crisis several times this week because its just to much for me
@juliak1968
I hope you get out there very soon and find a nicer place where you feel good. This is a terrible situation, big hugs (if you take). I am glad you called the crisis line. If you just want to share something please come here or connect to a listener. 
@amiablePeace77
I will never turn down a hug, hugs back, thank you!
Once i finally get out of this toxic situation i will feel so much better
I have some good listenets right now, and im really trying hard to find a place. I cant wait to move. With a little luck it will be soon😊
@amiablePeace77

Take a walk
@Lauren63
Walking gives me also so much positive energy. Do you have a favorite route?
@amiablePeace77 I just walk in my neighborhood most of the time. But I occasionally walk the trails at one of the local parks by the ocean. Just to listen to the waves. It can be very calming.
@Lauren63
Sounds lovely Lauren , park and ocean, can't get much better in my opinion . Do you stop sometimes for a little picnic with yourself?
@amiablePeace77 I havent, but that is a good idea! I do occasionally stop to pet a dog or just look at the scenery.
I remember a colleague of mine at work, he got a cheap pacer implanted to save his life from a heart destroyed by work stress...
The pacer was so cheap I could hear it myself, the valve ball moving...
Now please tell me, my old friend colleague near me what work boost do you need more out of him?!
@mysticalSerendipity
I hope your colleague is doing okay, it's awful what stress can cause!
Wow - you could hear the valve ball moving?!
@amiablePeace77 dancing playing with animals listening to music
@Dancersoul
all things I love too!
@Dancersoul
all things I love too!
For me, playing music is good, being with my girlfriend is usually good.
@Offmytrack
Music is such a wonderful tool to reenergize, and of course a loved one is priceless 
, glad you have both.
Talking to people in person when I'm not awkward
@HappyDucky8
Talking in person is definitively different and more challenging and many people feel uncomfortable. What makes you think you are awkward?
@amiablePeace77
dancing exercise coffee
@Dancersoul
Nice, I love a good cup of coffee in the morning or early afternoon , it's a good energy booster but I find if I drink more than that I get irritated, how about you?
Hello! Do you mind texting? @Dancersoul
