Sometimes life can be hard. I can relate with your words. I am also 57, left a good paying job about five years ago and have experienced concerns about my financial situation. I also feel some nasty depression from time to time. My advice is to stick with a practice as often as you can. I have practiced kundalini yoga for ten years and taught for eight. There are days when the best I can do it so sit quietly with my breath, my feelings and my thoughts, often times with my tears. Be easy with yourself. We are changing on a collective level in so many ways just now and at a mind boggling pace it seems. You have also passed through a pivotal point in life, the years from 54 though 56 give or take a few. What used to work just isn't going to be as effective as it once was. Life hasn't passed you by, it is presenting a whole new set of options.
Any form of exercise can improve one's spirit. Yogi Bhajan taught so many wonderful kriyas and meditations which work very specifically. Meditation will allow you to see beyond the patterns of thought which can keep us in the 'struggle'. There are a wealth of sources online (Gururattan's for instance), in books and manuals in classes.
You are welcome to contact me directly.
Sat Nam,
