If you find yourself particularly tired or lacking energy during the winter months, schedule time to do something that makes you feel relaxed. Whether it be taking a bath with essential oils, drinking some tea, or reading a book by the fire, allow yourself to have time in your day to relax and recharge.
4) Prevent flu and colds
Get vaccinated. Vaccines can help protect against flu and colds, and the flu shot is particularly important this time of year. Try to avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth if you’ve been in contact with someone who has these illnesses. Wash your hands frequently.
