1) Engage in a Physical Activity"Break out of the rut; take up a physical activity," she says. Avoid watching television, surfing the net or reading. "These keep the brain active and will tire you out again," Agarwal explains. Go for a trek, swim, run or simply pedal your way around the neighbourhood. A dose of fresh air and sunlight will do wonders for you. It will perk you up and energise you instantly.
2) Pursue a Hobby"Set aside some time every week to pursue your hobbies," Agarwal says. Take up something you have never tried before like cooking, photography or craft. Learning something new will help you break out of the routine and refresh your mind.
3) Switch Off and Sleep"Sufficient sleep will recharge you in a jiffy," says Dr Pahuja. Lack of sleep could lead to forgetfulness adding to the distress. So simply switch off your computer, phone, and television and lull yourself into deep sleep. Try some aromatherapy with scented oils like jasmine or lavender. Either add a few drops of these in your bath water or apply some on your temples or soles of your feet. Even better- spend a Sunday under the sheets cuddled with your spouse or partner.
4) Take a VacationThe best remedy for chronic fatigue is to take a holiday. "Yearly holidays are very important. They give your mind and body time to recoup," explains Dr Pahuja. Explore a new place every year with your friends, family or your partner. Short weekend breaks work well too. Try new things like learning the local language and eating local cuisine.
