Back to routine: 5 keys
5 keys to making the return to routine easier
Getting back to routine can be demanding. At Gotes we've put together some ideas to make it calmer, with our essential oils as companions for every moment.

1. Busy work days
Pending projects, meetings and to-do lists. Lavender, with its soft, floral scent, helps create a serene atmosphere: a few drops in a diffuser in your workspace are enough. Ylang ylang adds an enveloping scent that makes the day more pleasant.
2. When you're low on energy
After a break, it's hard to get going again. The citrus scent of lemon and the freshness of peppermint are perfect in a morning diffuser. Try blending them in a portable inhaler for the middle of the day.
3. Before bed
Schedule changes can upset your routines. Create a night ritual with lavender and bergamot in the bedroom diffuser, half an hour before going to bed. If sleep problems persist, see a professional.
4. To focus
Adapting to a schedule can be hard. A few minutes' break with the scent of bergamot or rosemary helps you return to your tasks with a new attitude.
5. A massage at the end of the day
Long hours sitting or getting back to sport can be felt in the body. Dilute a few drops of eucalyptus or rosemary in almond oil for a massage with a feeling of freshness.
A few more ideas:
- Create a ritual: in the morning, lemon or peppermint; at night, lavender.
- Carry a roll-on: make your own blend diluted in vegetable oil and apply it to your wrists. Avoid the sun if it contains citrus.
- Look after your workspace: diffuse essential oils to create a more pleasant atmosphere.
Happy return to routine!
