• Organize your daily life: having a good organization is necessary to avoid drowning in many useless actions. In order to avoid being overwhelmed by a hectic daily life, you can draw up lists or a schedule with all the essential actions and tasks to be accomplished during the day, week or month.

• Use essential oils: Essential oils can be useful in cases of fatigue thanks to their stimulating properties. Peppermint, black spruce and Scots pine essential oils are known to stimulate and tone the body.

• Adopt good daily habits: first of all, it is essential to have sufficient quality and quantity of sleep to be in good shape the next day.

• When you wake up in the morning, it is essential to expose yourself to light because it acts as a starter on the different organs of the body and helps to chase away fatigue.

• Taking an early afternoon nap of 10-20 minutes is beneficial for making up for any sleep loss, rejuvenating and improving alertness, mood and memory.

• Practice regular sports: it may seem paradoxical, but playing sports is recommended to reduce the feeling of fatigue and improve your fitness. It allows you to get oxygen and relieve stress thanks to the release of hormones with a euphoric effect such as dopamine. These hormones stimulate good mood and combat the feeling of fatigue. In addition, doing physical activity is an excellent way to improve the quality of sleep by creating "good" fatigue.

• Have a healthy and balanced diet: Diet is very important to stay healthy and fit. Food has the power to give us energy and essential nutrients for the proper functioning of organs.
