How to Get More Energy Naturally: Faith-Filled Tips for Reclaiming Your Strength
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering, “How do I get more energy?” You’re not alone. So many women are running on empty, juggling responsibilities, pouring into others, and feeling completely depleted. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to stay stuck in this cycle of exhaustion.
In this blog, we’re diving deep into practical and faith-filled strategies to get more energy naturally so you can feel refreshed, restored, and ready for what God has next for you. As a Christian Life Coach, I’ve learned firsthand how faith, mindset, and physical health are interconnected in our energy levels. Let’s explore what’s draining you and how you can start feeling vibrant again.
WHAT’S DRAINING YOUR ENERGY?
Before we talk about how to get more energy, let’s identify what’s stealing it in the first place. Here are some common energy drainers:
Negative Thoughts – Your mind is like a battery, and constant worry, self-doubt, and stress drain it quickly.
Blood Sugar Crashes – Skipping meals or relying on sugary snacks can leave you feeling exhausted and moody.
Overcommitting – Saying yes to everything and everyone leaves nothing for YOU.
Lack of Rest – Even if you sleep, your body and mind may not be getting the restoration they need.
Dehydration – Not drinking enough water (or missing key electrolytes) can leave you feeling sluggish and foggy.
The first step in getting more energy is recognizing what’s depleting you.
FAITH-FILLED STEPS TO GET MORE ENERGY NATURALLY
God didn’t design us to live in a constant state of exhaustion. He calls us to abundant life—and that includes feeling strong, energized, and ready to fulfill His purpose for us. Here’s how to reclaim your energy:
1. Fuel Your Body (and Your Soul)
Did you know that 90% of serotonin (the happy hormone) is produced in the gut and that 70% of your immune system also stems from your gut? The food you eat directly affects your physical and mental energy levels.
Here are a few simple shifts:
Eat a protein-packed breakfast to stabilize your blood sugar.
Snack smart with whole foods like almonds, fruit, or yogurt.
Hydrate! Add electrolytes or a pinch of Celtic sea salt to your water for better absorption.
And don’t forget to nourish your soul, too! Start your day with prayer, scripture, and worship—filling your heart with God’s truth before the world fills it with stress.
2. Move Your Body (Even for 10 Minutes!)
Movement isn’t just about exercise—it’s about energy activation. Therefore, a quick 10-minute walk after a meal can help stabilize your blood sugar, boost circulation, and clear brain fog. Dance, stretch, or take a prayer walk—whatever gets you moving and feeling refreshed.
Here is a bonus Tip: Pair movement with worship music or a podcast (hint: Her Unraveled Life is a great place to start!).
3. Take Every Thought Captive
Your thoughts can either fuel your energy or drain it. If you’re constantly telling yourself, “I’m so tired,” guess what? You’ll feel tired.
Here’s a quick exercise: Write down one negative thought you’ve been telling yourself. 
Find a truth from God’s Word to replace it with. Speak that truth out loud every day.
4. Prioritize Rest (Beyond Just Sleep!)
So many of us think more sleep = more energy, but true rest is about so much more. Have you considered these different types of rest?
- Physical Rest – Sleep, naps, stretching, and relaxation.
- Mental Rest – Reducing mental clutter, journaling, and setting boundaries.
- Social Rest – Spending time with life-giving people and taking breaks from draining relationships.
- Emotional Rest – Process emotions with God instead of bottling them up.
- Creative Rest – Letting your mind wander, engaging in hobbies, and enjoying beauty.
