This may not relate to your dilemma whatsoever. But here it is:

I'm an old man, and since my wife of over a half century passed last summer, I've had many lackluster and low energy days. What is helping me is returning to some of my root interests, which for me are physics and astronomy.

I watch some educational documentaries, or read some books (that's harder) or watch some "Great Courses" lectures on interesting subjects, or on clear nights I stargaze .

It all helps activate my mind and get me out of my doldrums.
