How's your energy level in these times? by Father Time on The Pipeline at IndieMusicPeople

It's hard to keep the energy levels up. I am getting into online education to help me along. I was invited to join the Caltech glee club for their online workshop and I am learning to sing Italian arias, so that is giving me a boost. But overall, I really have to make myself do stuff. Not easy.

But I am excited about the space launch today. Hope it goes well.

Garden, laying pavers, maintenance to outside, prep vids for music students, writing out arrangements for students, never ending here at my place

I think many ppl are experiencing low energy levels during this horrible crisis. Even with a high energy level, there’s not much one can do when so many activities and services are not available and there’s nobody available to do them with. I had many plans for this year that are just not possible when time seems to be standing still. Perhaps my disappointment has led to a lack of motivation. I find it hard to be creative in the present environment. I find I need to conserve my mental and physical energy just to navigate through survival mode and the mundane tasks of life in purgatory. (Hell with hope)

Third attempt here. I messed up the first two for trying to hard.

Let's wrap it up a 6:30 P.M. and call it a day. It's become apparent to me that the best part of the day for me is going to sleep. That's my energy level right now. Probably will be back up at 3:00 A.M.

Well I'm up for a few days then slump for a few - I've turned to my garden which has saved the day! My husband is in a high risk group so we're "shielding" and haven't been in a shop or anyone else's house since Mar 14th! No end in sight here in UK is awful with around 60,000 dead already and although it's slowing down it's nowhere near over yet.

Strangely I haven't felt like playing my guitar at all since my mum passed away in December but I've been playing the piano quite a lot and drumming a bit too.

I'm enjoying the garden, walking, birds, dug a pond. Have hardly seen anyone except my husband for 3 months now - thank goodness we get on!!!

My energy is messed up. High in nervous energy, low on physical energy, thankfully being uninsured to work currently I'm able to roll with it, but I'm really not looking forward to getting back to reality.

Tanked. And I seem to have developed balance issues which I think are related to excess tension. If there's a small dip in the floor, my muscles feel as though I am walking over a 30 degree slope. Not sure what this actually is, but I have a phone appointment with my doctor coming up.

Mike, does it have to do with the legs?

I feel it more in my neck and the back of my head. I mean my legs ache and are fatigued as well, but I often feel like I'm leaning heavily to the right when I'm on a flat surface. It's a strange sensation, and one that is difficult to describe, and it's worse when sitting when my posture is being supported by my upper body rather. But I do seem to alternate between bad days and good days where I am totally fine. I have had trouble with my inner ears, but this doesn't quite feel like that. Hopefully I'll know more soon.

Take ca're Mike. There was a familiarity to what you first described. I'm not gonna play doctor here. Good luck with your telephone appointment. That I do know what it's all about. I've already had a few of those. Make sure your line is free at that time or else they reschedule.
