Energy and tiredness
Do you go from bouncing off the walls to nodding off at your desk? Or perhaps you rely on food or energy drinks for an extra oomph here and there
What does ‘energy’ mean?
Mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing cognition, perception, and behavior. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is a “state of well-being in which the individual realises his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and can contribute to his or her community”.
Do you feel like you’re always tired and have no energy?
You’re not alone, SO many people, especially peri menopausal women, and late diagnosed neurodivergent women.
If you’re in peri, or if you suspect you are, you’re likely susceptible to feeling tired because of your hormones fluctuating.
If you’re late diagnosed neurodivergent, there are many reasons you might feel like you’re always tired:
Masking is EXHAUSTING. Pretending to be 'normal' consumes an enormous amount of energy, and you've likely been pretending to be different to your true nature for many, many years
You're trying to function in a world that wasn't designed for you, which means that you probably expend more energy than a neurotypical person just as a default
When you realise that you're neurodivergent, either through a formal assessment or self diagnosis, you give your unconscious permission to release all the many, many struggles and cover-ups you've been hiding for years, and that can be extremely exhausting
I drink lots of caffeine but I’m still knackered
The more coffee, cola, tea or energy drinks you drink, the more tolerant your body becomes. The more tolerant your body becomes, the more caffeine you need to drink to feel like it’s giving you a bit of a boost.
The best thing you can do is reduce and eliminate the amount of caffeine you drink (and eat). This way, you’ll start to work WITH your body rather than against it.
If you’re a coffee fan, take a look at this breakdown of how much caffeine is in various coffee drinks.
How do I boost my energy?
Get the basics nailed first – sleep, water, relaxation and a healthy diet.
Get 8 hours sleep, because sleep is when your cells regenerate and your body rests after all the wonderful work it’s done during your waking day.
Drink about 2 litres of water, so you can refill the water your body uses during the day, and flush out dead cells that get regenerated overnight.
Relaxation is important because stress and anxiety play havoc with your energy levels and hormones. Resting helps everything rest and stabilise.
And a healthy diet ensures that your body and brain get all the nourishment, vitamins and minerals that you need to function at your best.

What Motherlanders Are Saying
“My reiki session with Sarah was so relaxing and I had some colour reactions which were fascinating. I came away from the treatment feeling calm but also energised. Sarah was relaxed yet professional and I wouldn’t hesitate using her again for future reiki treatments.“
“Sarah’s a brilliant coach, so helpful & enthusiastic. Really builds you up and gives you the courage to live the life you want. I’m a very busy working single mum, and she’s brilliant at coming up with tips to work around my life, helping me to make better choices. Sarah has helped me to understand that you can’t care for others without caring for yourself. She’s so warm and friendly, you can’t fail to feel supported and that she’s got your back.”
“Sarah was so brilliant to work with! She gave me sensible guidance around improving both my physical and mental health that fitted with my life rather than trying a one size fits all approach. She has a calm and practical attitude mixed with natural empathy. Sarah is a breath of fresh air and she provides a non-judgemental space for you to self develop (but with her fab expertise on hand!) I thoroughly recommend working with Sarah.”
