The Real Reason You’re Tired: Avoidance Costs More Than Action
You’re probably not tired because you’re doing too much.
You’re tired because of what you’ve been carrying silently.
Most high-achieving women I work with don’t realize this at first. They believe their exhaustion comes from full schedules, packed days, or business demands. But once we dig in, we often find something deeper:
👉 They're spending an enormous amount of energy avoiding hard truths, difficult emotions, and decisions they’re afraid to make.
Let me tell you about Maya (name changed for privacy).
Maya thought she was keeping her life peaceful by not making any major moves in her business. She didn’t want to feel pushy, salesy, or like she was chasing. So she told herself she was “letting things grow naturally.”
At the same time, she avoided naming her frustration at work. She didn’t want to admit how much her boss’s behavior was affecting her energy and confidence. She told herself, “It’s fine. I just need to rest more.”
But here’s the truth:
Avoidance feels restful in the moment — but it slowly drains you over time.
Avoiding your feelings…
Avoiding your truth…
Avoiding the things you don’t want to look at…
It all costs you more energy than actually facing it.
When Maya finally named the things she had been avoiding — and saw them clearly — her energy shifted. She didn’t feel overwhelmed anymore. She felt clear and capable.
Want to find out if you’ve been avoiding something that's costing you energy?
Here are 3 powerful questions to help you uncover hidden drains in your life and business:
What emotion have I been avoiding because I’m afraid of what it might mean or lead to?
Where am I calling something “peace” when it’s really silence or fear?
What decision, truth, or boundary am I tiptoeing around that’s quietly draining my energy?
And here are 3 quick wins you can try today to start reclaiming your energy:
Take 5 minutes to write down everything you’ve been avoiding — emotions, conversations, or decisions — without judgment.
Choose one small area where you can tell yourself the truth today, even if no one else knows yet.
Practice saying: “I can honor my peace and face the truth” each time you feel yourself wanting to shut down or avoid.
Here’s the thing:
You don’t need to force or fight. But you do need to face the truth.
That’s where your power is.
