How to Harness Low Energy Days for Greater Well-Being
Women work in cyclical patterns. This isn’t new news, you know this. So why is that you have such a hard time with the low and slow phase of your cycle?
You might think this is a problem that can be solved by more time, or strategic time-management. But it’s not.
The solution is in your beliefs.

More time is not the answer.
You may have experienced this before, where you have all the time in the world for to something, but you have no interest in the task at hand, no energy or spark and you find yourself easily distracted and interrupted.
You’ve also probably experienced losing track of time, completely immersed what your doing, attention is fully and completely held and your easily redirected back to this task if you get interrupted or distracted.
Better time-management strategy or planner is also not the answer.
I’m sure you’ve had a perfectly mapped out day, clearly and concisely, only to have external circumstances steal the wind out of your focus and attention.
It looks great on paper, but when it comes down to sticking to the plan, shit can go south real quick, taking your energy with it.
I’ve experienced both these “solutions”. When my second child was born, I very quickly realized that having all the time in the world to dedicate to my family and home was not the answer, because I was still struggling like a mother!
I took trainings and courses and bought fancy planners and plain planners and every time I mapped out my day or week, I felt like shit because it never panned out the way I had it planned out.
The last thing you need, especially as a mom, is to feel like your doing it wrong or failing from yet ANOTHER angle in your life…
You won’t find the solution to time in time itself. Apply Einstein’s quote:
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” – Albert Einstein
The solution is in your beliefs.
Here are three beliefs you can reframe right now to tap into the power of slowness by harnessing and leveraging your low and slow energy…
- “I don’t have enough energy” becomes “My energy is cyclical in nature. It will come back around.”
- “I’m not doing enough, therefore I am not productive” becomes “What I get done does not define my worth. I adjust my actions to my energy and what’s worth getting done will be done.”
- “I’m expected to do more, no matter how I feel” becomes “I release any expectations or standards that don’t fit my method of motherhood. I determine what is expected of my time and energy.”
Time is a linear concept. Your energy is cyclical in nature and you have an infinite source of it within you.
Even on your lowest, slowest days, you can take solace in knowing that your energy will come back around, if you choose to believe it.
