How to counter lethargy.

Maybe this sounds whacky. Bed rest is my worst approach. When feeling tired/lethargic. Better to exercise. Vigorously. To get one's pulse rate going at a good clip. Works for me. More often than not. Forces me to become active. Lethargy breeds lethargy. Energized activity breeds energy. It's a means of waking up the body. And the mind, too. I'm really at my best. When I get into a groove. Walking 10 miles a day. Adding up to 70 miles in a week.  Don't have to do the 10 miles all at once. Better to divide it up. Maybe into 3 or 4 outings.  Interspersed with mindful writing respites. --Jim Broede
