The Tiredness Decoder

The Tiredness Decoder for Busy Moms

A simple, compassionate guide for understanding what kind of tired you actually are — and choosing the kind of rest that truly restores you.

Most moms default to the same solution when they feel exhausted: sleep. But tiredness isn’t always physical. Sometimes your body feels fine, but your mind is foggy. Sometimes your thoughts are clear, but your heart feels heavy. And sometimes you feel disconnected in a way that rest alone doesn’t fix.

This guide was created for exactly those moments.

The Tiredness Decoder helps you identify whether you’re body tired, mind tired, heart tired, or soul tired — and gives you the specific type of rest that matches what you’re experiencing. Instead of guessing, pushing through, or trying random fixes, you’ll know exactly what your system is asking for.

This is not a sleep guide.

It is a clarity tool.

How it works

The guide begins with a simple question

Where does my tiredness live?

From there, it walks you through the four types of tiredness

• Body Tired

• Mind Tired

• Heart Tired

• Soul Tired

Each section explains what that type of tired feels like, why it happens, and what kind of rest actually helps. You don’t have to analyze or overthink. You read the description that matches your experience and follow the rest practice designed for that type.

Inside the guide

• Clear explanations of the four types of tiredness

• Physical, mental, emotional, and soul level signs to help you identify your fatigue

• Practical rest practices matched to each type

• A simple decision guide for choosing the right rest

• A five minute rest routine you can use anytime

• Gentle reminders that tiredness is a signal, not a failure

• Guidance for what to do when multiple types of tiredness overlap

The Tiredness Decoder is designed to be printed, saved on your phone, or kept somewhere visible so you can use it the moment exhaustion hits.

Why this matters

Rest only works when it matches the type of tiredness you’re experiencing.

When you choose the right kind of rest

• Your energy returns more quickly

• Your mind feels clearer

• Your emotions feel lighter

• Your body feels supported
