I'm Tired of Being Tired

Stop saying 'I’m tired of being tired' and start reclaiming your energy with these simple Reiki-based shifts for burnt-out moms.

Breaking the "Running on Fumes" Loop

Let’s be real: "I’m tired of being tired" is the unofficial anthem of motherhood right now. You’re doing the most. You're preparing lunches, taming dragons with bedtime battles, the mental load - ugh, and you’re waiting for a "one day" that keeps moving. One day when the kids are older. One day when work slows down.

But waiting for the future is costing you your now.

When we live in survival mode, our energy stays stuck in a stress response. That "heavy" feeling? It’s often stagnant energy showing up as physical inflammation and mental burnout.

Enter: Reiki. Think of Reiki as a portable "reset" button for your nervous system. It’s not about adding another chore to your to-do list; it’s about clearing the energetic clutter so you can actually access the rest you're trying to get. It helps shift you from "pushing through" to actually flowing through.

Instead of just waiting for the kids to grow up, try these three "Micro-Resets" right now to stop the energy leak:

  • The Palm Press (Grounding): While the coffee brews, press your palms flat against the kitchen counter. Breathe in for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4. Imagine the "running on fumes" energy draining out of your hands and into the ground.

  • The Heart-Hand Connection: When the chaos peaks, place one hand on your heart and one on your belly. This simple touch signals your nervous system to exit "fight or flight" mode. It's a 10-second Reiki self-treatment.

  • The Visual Clear: Before you open your car door or walk into the house, visualize a soft white light clearing the "inflamed" energy from your shoulders. Don't carry the stress of the last hour into the next one.

The Fridge Fix: I’ve created a free "Mama’s Energy Reset" PDF. Print it, stick it on the fridge, and use these 30-second energetic anchors when you feel the fumes running low. Stop waiting for the weekend. Start reclaiming your energy on a Monday morning. 

This PDF is your daily reminder that energy healing isn't just for retreats. Using Reiki for motherhood helps lower cortisol, reduce inflammation, and stops the burnout cycle. You aren't just a "tired mom" you're an energetic being who deserves to feel vibrant.
