Sometimes you feel tired without a clear reason.
Not physically exhausted — but energetically depleted.
You sleep enough.
You try your best.
And still, something feels like it’s slowly pulling at you.
Energy loss rarely happens all at once.
It leaks away quietly.
Through conversations that leave you feeling empty.
Through roles you’ve already outgrown.
Through staying loyal to people, situations, or expectations
that no longer align with who you are now.
Subtle energy leaks
Energy doesn’t drain only from what you do —
but from what you keep carrying.
Explaining yourself to people who don’t truly see you
Adapting to keep the peace
Always being “strong” when you actually need rest
Holding promises made to an old version of yourself
These are not failures.
They are signs of growth.
What restores your energy
Energy doesn’t return by pushing harder.
It returns when you soften.
By honestly asking:
Where am I still saying yes while my body whispers no?
Which connections nourish me — and which drain me?
What would change if I no longer had to prove anything?
Energy returns when you:
Stop diluting your truth
See boundaries as self-respect, not rejection
Honor your natural pace
Come home to yourself
A gentle reminder
You don’t need to fix yourself.
You are not broken.
Perhaps you’ve simply been available for too long
to what no longer feeds your soul.
Let this week be an invitation
to gently return to yourself.
Rest is not stagnation.
It is restoration.
And restoration is power. ✨
