How to Call Back Your Energy: A Practice for Moms Who Give Too Much
Partager
Have you ever laid in bed at night wondering why you feel so drained—yet you barely did anything “for yourself”?
That’s not laziness. It’s energetic leakage. And for moms, it happens daily: every yes you meant to say no to, every worry you carried that wasn’t yours, every moment spent tending to others while ignoring yourself.
But the good news? You can call your energy back.
Why Moms Feel So Energetically Drained
Motherhood is inherently giving. But when giving becomes leaking, you lose connection to yourself. It sounds like:
- “Why am I so exhausted all the time?”
- “I can’t even think straight.”
- “I don’t know what I need anymore.”
That’s a sign your energy is scattered—not because you’re weak, but because you’ve been overextended. And no one taught you how to protect your power.
What Is an Energy Recall?
It’s a conscious moment to stop, breathe, and reclaim all the pieces of you that have been left in a million places.
Places like:
- That conversation you’re replaying in your head
- That to-do list that won’t let you rest
- That person you keep trying to “fix” or please
Your energy is your life force. And it’s time to bring it back home.
A Simple Energy Recall Practice (Takes 3–5 Minutes)
-
Find Stillness
Sit or lie down. Close your eyes. Place one hand on your heart and the other on your belly.
-
Breathe Deeply
Inhale slowly for 4 counts. Exhale for 6. Repeat 3 times.
-
Say These Words (Out Loud or Silently):
“I call my energy back to me. From every place I left it. From every thought, task, and person. I return to myself now.”
-
Visualize
Imagine threads of light returning to your body from all directions. Feel yourself becoming whole again.
-
Anchor It
Finish with a grounding statement:
“I am whole. I am here. I am home.”
What the Research Says
According to a 2021 study published in Mindfulness & Health, even brief guided visualization practices can reduce fatigue, improve focus, and restore emotional energy in overstimulated parents—especially mothers.

You can still be loving, generous, and supportive without abandoning yourself. You’re allowed to keep some energy for you—in fact, it’s essential. The more you stay connected to your center, the more powerful, grounded, and joyful you become.
Because a mom who protects her energy isn’t selfish—she’s unstoppable.
