I am really enjoying being back at the gym and moving metal plates. It's helping with my head space.
I am sure like everyone else: lock-down took its toll on me and couldn't get myself to lift.
Anyone else struggling to do what they love? And what have you done to help? |

Congrats. 
I did more exercise when Boris said we weren't allowed outside for more than 1 hour.  |

Having mindless fun playing computer games. I just get the guilts that there's so much other more important stuff needing doing if I sit down to waste an evening with the controller. So I don't. And then I never do the things either  |

Getting out on my horse or getting out for walks. I always seem to be busy doing other less enjoyable things and am usually too tired by the time I've done them all to go out then . .Bo. |

I’m really struggling with getting back into music
I left bands a few months before covid hit saying I’d take a year off.
3 years later I’m almost struggling to even find the motivation to pick up a guitar |

"Photography. Mainly landscape but I've kinda lost my mojo. It's getting back to "sensible season" for sunrise times though so, I'm gonna make more of an effort.
Good thread OP!"
I find be the PhotoPills app helps , quick ref to blue and golden hours wherever you are.
The other thing that helped me is planning a gallery, it’s didn’t happen as planned but it got me out shooting and framing work.
I actually prefer the not so sensible season , I can do a shoot and be back for breakfast and don’t need to book time off work |

Totally lost my mojo with lots of changes in family/work life, and gained weight, sooooooo hard to get back on it!

This 
I had a heart attack last year and now find it difficult to get out. It’s fear more than anything as my heart rate goes up I fear the pain in my chest coming back.
It’s heartbreaking as I watched the London marathon at the weekend and still thinking if I should bother entering the ballot again.  |

I love spending time with someone who I love utterly, but her life has kept us apart for longer and longer periods.
She doesn't know just how much I care for her and I can never tell her.her situation is tough enough without me adding to it,so I just wait and hope. |

Going to Yoga and Walking, personal circumstances have delayed this for months!
Getting decent and regular sex - who’d of thought it on a site like this?! |

Photography for me too. Last time I went to a camera club I had a huge dose of imposter syndrome and took 3 images under duress. Haven't really done anything since other than silly stuff.
That said - going to another club meet tomorrow night so maybe I'll fix that! |

"Walking 
Yeah
For me, the ability to just get up and do whatever I want. Having to rely on others and mobility aids. I liked it better before  "
I am nowhere near in your boat & being self indulgent I know.
I beat fibromyalgia putting me in a chair. Beat a few other bits. Nearly died.
Then I get absolutely wrecked falling off a sodding kerb!!!! I’ll get there. I’m just emotional & frustrated |

You're still chugging along though, so that's an achievement. They're bastards, kerbs. Bane of my fucking life. I hope you gave it what for *shakes fist* |

I have Fibromyalgia too, and I tripped on a stupid bloody raised flag on the path and broke my foot, tore all the muscles in my right buttock and damaged my wrist tendons… something that bloody simple! Haha!  |

I’m struggling lately to simply get motivated for anything. The little time I home soon e to myself is taken up by resting enough to get back to work.
But related to your op. I tried keeping fit a while ago, my natural fitness has died off, and I nearly collapsed trying to run a 3-5 k maybe? I’d not tan for over a year, but I should be able to smash that. Age does play a big part, you’ll get back to it

Read books. I used to read 2 or 3 novels a week and now my concentration span is so limited I can barely manage 1 or 2 a year. Audible gives me access to literature now and I listen for several hours a day, but can I get into a physical book? Can I buggery! I have a Literature degree ffs!
Also, have a social life. I've been a hermit for 6 years because of anxiety. It's mostly under control now, but time, parenting, money....all make an active social life just out of reach.
