Ramazzotti loves yoga, and continued doing it throughout her pregnancy. "I fell in love with it, dispelling the prejudice I had against it, during the lockdown period," she says. "From there whenever I need to come to my senses, I dedicate at least ten minutes to the practice, it doesn't matter how long but it really has the ability to bring you back to the present in addition to the obvious physical benefits you can derive from it."

Ramazzotti enjoys the mental and physical benefits of running. "Anything seems impossible at first. Especially running, yes, running seems impossible at first, at least, that's how it was for me," she says. "I only realized later that the reason I felt dissatisfied was that I was in a hurry to achieve results that were bigger than me. It seems to be a widespread problem, that of raising the bar to the stars, forgetting to appreciate the route. Everything must be done one step at a time, which seems trivial when said this way, but how many times can we say that we have given ourselves the necessary time and breathing space to achieve something we wanted?"

Ramazzotti loves to scuba dive in the ocean. "Beaches  – and more specifically, the Ocean – have been shown to have a calming effect on people," says the Ocean Conservation Trust. "Stress is a major cause of illness in our society, but the Ocean has a way of relaxing us and taking us out of ourselves."

Ramazzotti is outside as much as possible, saying fresh air and walks are all she needs. "Light tends to elevate people's mood, and unless you live in a glass house or are using a light box to treat seasonal affective disorder, there's usually more light available outside than in," says Harvard Health. "Physical activity has been shown to relax and cheer people up, so if being outside replaces inactive pursuits with active ones, it might also mean more smiles and laughter."

Ramazzotti posts pictures of herself without makeup and filters, saying it's important to be authentic. "The fact is, when you pretend to be somebody else, maybe only in a light and inevident way, it is always wrong for yourself, but also for how others perceive us," she says. "It is wrong to use our communicative strength to motivate the bubble of perfection which does not exist. It leads many people to be ashamed of how they are, and does not permit them to learn to love themselves for what they are, humans like everybody else. From now on I will apply myself to be always true to myself without the need to respond to stereotypes or to fake models."
