I don’t know about you, but I absolutely love the rain. This is especially true when I am indoors with the day to myself, with the ability to do whatever I please. Rain seems to make everything cozier and more magical.
You may consider being stuck inside horrific- but it doesn’t have to be that way! First, I suggest you to forget about that to do list. If you must go out in the rain don’t forget your lovely rainboots and fetching raincoats and the thought of putting on the kettle for tea when you return.
Instead of feeling as though you are stuck inside, look at the rain as a gentle encouragement to do all of the things for yourself that you would normally put off or set aside as not important. Allow the day to unfold with ease and enjoy the cleansing feeling that rain brings.
You can Even snuggle up with a good book. Pick up something you have been wanting to read but couldn’t find the time, or an old favorite. Try to avoid books you “have to” read and instead go for something you want to read. Curl up with your softest blanket and let yourself lost within the pages.
Often the temperature drops when it rains, so warm yourself up with a nice hot cup of tea. Sip it slowly and enjoy the moment.
It is amazing the variety of sounds that rain can make. Drip, drizzle, splash, splat, slush. Listen to how the rain you are experiencing sounds and capture it in a short poem. See if you can include other senses by describing the scent, feel, look, and taste of the rain. Feel free to use your imagination.
Another way to warm up the house and cheer yourself up with some comfort food. Choose an easy recipe that you already have all the ingredients for. Baking is also a wonderful way to make your home smell delicious and inviting.
Nothing lifts the gloom off a rainy day quite like hearing a friends voice. Discover what is new in each other’s lives and just chit chat for fun. Perhaps call someone that may need a little extra comfort today. I’m sure you will both hang up the phone smiling.
Put on music that beat reflects your mood at the moment and be absorbed by the sound. Let your body move in new and spontaneous ways to the music. It doesn’t have to be traditional dance music for you to get moving! Let the music move you in a way that feels most natural for you.
Watch a childhood movie. Choose one you haven’t seen in ages. Chances are there will be scenes and conversations in the movie that went right over your head when you were little! Perhaps you remember the movie differently. In any case, you will have fun rediscovering why you loved it.
