Want More Energy? Become More You

Most of us think energy comes from doing more: better routines, stricter habits, pushing through, optimising life. But what if the reason you’re tired isn’t because you’re doing too little, it’s because you’re doing too much of what isn’t truly you?

Real, sustainable energy doesn’t come from force. It comes from alignment.

Energy isn’t something you create, it’s something you stop leaking

So much exhaustion is the result of quiet self-abandonment:

• Saying yes when your body says no

• Living by expectations that aren’t yours

• Performing versions of yourself that feel safe or acceptable

• Overriding your intuition to keep things moving

Every time you do this, a little energy drains away.

When people say they’re “tired all the time,” what they often mean is: I’m disconnected from myself.

Becoming more you restores energy

When you live closer to who you truly are, energy returns naturally.

This can look like:

• Honouring your natural pace instead of forcing productivity

• Allowing rest without guilt

• Telling the truth...gently, but honestly

• Choosing work, relationships, and rhythms that feel safe in your body

• Letting go of identities that no longer fit

Energy rises when your nervous system no longer has to stay on guard.

Burnout, chronic fatigue, and overwhelm are not failures of willpower. They are signals.

They tell us:

• Something is unsustainable

• Something is out of alignment

• Something wants to change

The body is not asking to be fixed, it’s asking to be listened to.

You don’t need to become someone new

You don’t need to reinvent yourself to feel better.

Often, it's about subtraction, not addition:

• Releasing pressure

• Shedding old roles

• Unlearning survival patterns

• Coming home to what feels true

As you become more yourself, life requires less effort. Your system relaxes. Energy becomes available again.

Energy doesn’t always look like motivation or drive. Sometimes it looks like:

• Steadiness

• Clarity

• Emotional capacity

• Presence

• The ability to say no

This kind of energy is quieter, but it lasts.

If you’re craving more energy, ask yourself:

• Where am I overriding myself?

• What feels heavy because it isn’t true anymore?

• Where could I choose alignment over effort?

Becoming more you is not a destination, it’s a remembering.

And as you return to yourself, energy doesn’t need to be chased.

It comes back naturally.
