Step 1 – Befriending your feelings: First of all, when you get enough sleep and feel tired a lot, go see your doctor to make sure everything is ok. So now, go into your feelings of being tired. Befriend tiredness, embrace it, give it a hug like it is an old friend you know well and feel completely comfortable with, someone you love spending time with. Talk to your feelings of tiredness, either internally or out loud, you can even write them down if you would like, and say to yourself  

“There you are tired, it is okay you are here, I feel you. It makes a lot of sense that I feel this way. There is so much going on in my life, or my head, or within my emotions, and it can make me very tired at times. It is ok, I get it, and I will love myself through this with deep kindness, warmth, and compassion.”

Then sit with your feelings of being tired in true compassion, understanding, and love. And if your tired feelings need more room because there is too much pressure, give it free space to extend in order to release the intensity. You can give it space within you, outside of you, and as far as it needs to go. Stay with this first step till you start to feel calmer and more comfortable. As a reminder make sure you only show kindness and compassion for being tired and yourself. It is important to embrace all of you. Stay with this step until you truly have embraced yourself through it. When you feel ready, go to step 2

Step 2 – Release: This step is simple. All you have to do is repeat one sentence over and over again till you actually feel the tiredness leaving your body. This is what you say internally or out loud as many times you need to:

“I clear and release my feelings of tiredness about (name what you are specifically tired about, or if you are just tired without a reason that works too).” Or a more specific sentence: “I clear and release my feelings of tiredness about (name the specific thing you are tired from and about) from within me and around me.”

When you spend some time on releasing the feeling of being tired, and you feel it is actually leaving, you can go to step 3.

Step 3 – Choosing: In this step you explore possibilities, positive choices, changing your tiredness to positive plan of action, or if all else fails find a positive distraction. It is important for this step to be positive to train your brain to transform negative feelings and thoughts into positive ways of thinking, feelings, and solutions.
