Hello Lovely,
Let’s be real: midlife is not for the faint of heart. Somewhere between juggling family, career, friendships, and the bizarre urge to rearrange furniture at 2 AM, many of us find ourselves dragging. If you’ve ever felt like your energy levels were sent on an extended vacation without notifying you—don’t worry, you’re not alone. Welcome to the club, where caffeine is a lifeline, naps are celebrated like holidays, and every woman’s dream involves waking up actually feeling rested.
But here’s the thing, love: you are in the perfect stage of life to take back control. Reinvention isn’t just about career shifts or finding new passions—it’s about transforming your energy too. Yes, energy! And not just those fleeting bursts where you accomplish a hundred things and then crash like an old computer with too many tabs open. I’m talking about sustainable, fabulous, get-up-and-glow energy.
So, buckle up, my friend. We’re about to dive into some tried-and-true energy hacks that work for midlife women ready to leave fatigue behind and step into their fabulous, revitalized selves.
Let’s start with the toughest one: mornings. If the sound of your alarm feels like a betrayal, you’re not alone. But here’s the deal—how you start your day sets the tone for everything else. Now, I’m not saying you need to run a marathon before breakfast, but creating a feel-good morning routine is non-negotiable.
Start with something simple:
• A glass of water right after you wake up (hydration is magic).
• A quick 5-minute stretch while listening to your favorite playlist outside in the sun.
• Take a minute (yes, just one) to breathe deeply and set your intention for the day.
If you hate mornings now, you won’t after creating a little ritual that sparks joy. And hey, if your ritual involves scrolling Instagram for a bit while sipping coffee, no judgment—just sprinkle in some good vibes while you’re at it.
Let’s talk about energy leaks, ladies. One of the biggest drains on our vitality isn’t physical—it’s emotional. Too many of us are carrying the weight of things we agreed to out of guilt or habit. Let me say this loudly for the people in the back: you do not have to say yes to everything.
That PTA meeting you got roped into? The happy hour you’re dreading? The cousin’s dog’s third birthday party? It’s okay to decline. In fact, it’s more than okay—it’s essential. Saying no creates room for what matters—and it’s these intentional yeses that fill you with energy, not drain you.
So, next time someone asks for your time or energy, ask yourself: “Does this bring me joy, or just exhaustion?” If the answer is exhaustion, give yourself permission to decline—with love, of course.
We all know that moving our bodies is key to boosting energy, but that doesn’t mean signing up for bootcamps or punishing yourself on the treadmill. You’re in midlife—exercise should feel like a celebration of everything your body can do, not a chore.
The secret? Find movement that makes you smile.
• Dance like no one’s watching (and post it if you feel sassy).
• Walk in nature and soak in the sunshine.
• Try yoga (bonus points if you wear your cutest leggings).
• Or go wild and learn something new—pickleball, anyone?
The point is to keep it joyful. Because when you actually enjoy what you’re doing, the movement becomes something you look forward to—and with it comes energy, resilience, and the glow of a woman who feels good in her own skin.
Listen, I know the internet loves to tell us what not to eat. But here’s a little secret: the real key to sustained energy isn’t deprivation—it’s nourishment. Food is fuel, and the way you fuel your body determines how well you run.
So instead of worrying about all the things you “shouldn’t” eat, let’s flip the script. Focus on what you can add to your diet:
• Fresh fruits and veggies (think rainbow on your plate).
• Lean protein (hello, energy boost!).
• Healthy fats like avocado and nuts (brain food, baby).
• And let’s not forget water—because dehydration sneaks up on you faster than your kid asking for money.
And, hey, if that chocolate chip cookie brings you joy? Eat it. Life is too short for guilt—and way too fabulous to live without dessert.
Ah, sleep. The elusive lover who plays hard to get, especially in midlife. Between hot flashes, anxiety, and the sudden urge to reorganize your spice rack at 3 AM, sleep can feel like a distant memory. But without it, energy becomes a scarce commodity.
Here’s the good news: a little effort goes a long way in reclaiming restful sleep.
• Set a bedtime routine—think soothing tea, lavender oil, and a good book.
• Ditch the screens at least 30 minutes before bed (yes, even Netflix).
• Keep your bedroom cool and dark—it’s like a cave for your dreams.
• And, if necessary, consider a weighted blanket. Trust me, those things are life-changing.
When you sleep well, you wake up as your best self—energized, gorgeous, and ready to conquer the day (or at least look fabulous pretending).
I know—this one’s controversial. Coffee is life, especially in midlife. But here’s the thing: too much caffeine can backfire, leaving you jittery and exhausted. Instead of drinking coffee like it’s going out of style, try being strategic:
• One or two cups in the morning (with a little gratitude ritual, because why not?).
• Swap afternoon coffee for herbal tea or sparkling water.
• Experiment with adaptogens, like ashwagandha or maca, for sustained energy without the crash.
This way, you still get to enjoy your beloved coffee, but without the afternoon slump that makes you wonder if napping under your desk is socially acceptable.
Clutter isn’t just about stuff—it’s also about mental and emotional baggage. And let’s be honest, carrying it all gets exhausting. Midlife is the perfect time to shed what no longer serves you—whether that’s clothes that don’t fit, old grudges, or the idea that you need to do it all.
Take some time to clear space—both physically and mentally. Donate those shoes you haven’t worn in five years. Let go of the belief that you need to be everything to everyone. When you declutter, you create space for energy to flow freely—and honey, there’s no limit to how fabulous you can feel when that happens.
You know what’s exhausting? Toxic people. And if you’ve lived long enough, you’ve probably met a few. Midlife is the perfect time to curate your circle—because who you surround yourself with has a direct impact on your energy.
Seek out the people who lift you up, make you laugh, and remind you of how amazing you are. And don’t be afraid to let go of relationships that drain your spirit. Life is too short to spend it with anyone who makes you feel less than radiant.
Here’s the ultimate energy hack: have fun. I know, it sounds simple—and it is. Laughter releases endorphins, love fills your heart, and celebration brings joy. And joy, my friend, is the best energy source of all.
So go ahead—throw yourself a mini dance party for no reason, wear that red lipstick on a Tuesday, or celebrate the fact that you got through the day without losing your mind. Life isn’t perfect, but it’s beautiful. And when you embrace the beauty, you can’t help but feel energized.
Finally, let’s get real: the energy you want isn’t “out there.” It’s already inside you. Midlife isn’t a time to slow down—it’s a time to wake up to your power, your joy, and your possibilities.
Every time you choose to move, nourish, rest, laugh, or love, you reclaim a little more of that fabulous energy that’s been waiting inside you all along. So, start today. Make a choice—one small choice—to move toward your most energized self. And remember: you’ve got this.
Because from here on out, it’s all about moving from fatigue to fabulous. And honey, you were born to shine.
So there you have it, my fabulous midlife queen—10 energy hacks that will help you say goodbye to fatigue and hello to vibrant, sustainable energy. Life is too precious to spend it feeling drained, and you deserve to feel fabulous every step of the way.
Now go out there, shine your light, and show the world what it means to be energized in midlife.
Love, Jax
