Watching the raindrops roll down the window can give us real music video vibes. However, it can be easy to have enough of the wet stuff as we long to head back outdoors. It could be time to learn how to beat the rainy day blues and get our day back on track.
Get baking
Can you imagine a better smell than freshly baked cookies? We thought not. Just because it’s raining outside doesn’t mean we have to feel as gray as the weather. One of the best ways to beat the blues is to crack a few eggs, mix up some cookie dough, and get baking. Plus, you’ll have a sweet treat to enjoy as the hours of rain continue to pass. It’s a win-win situation.
Start cleaning
It can sometimes feel as though the rain has us trapped in our own homes. Rather than sit around inside, why not take the time to give your house a deep clean? Sometimes, having no excuses is the best way to cross the jobs off your to-do list. This could be the perfect chance to clean all those hard-to-reach places, rearrange your furniture, and maybe even polish those ornaments that have been screaming for a clean for so long.
Pamper yourself
The wet weather can wreak havoc with our hair and skin. A rainy day is an ideal time to spend focusing on yourself. If you have a face mask, then why not give yourself a treat? You could also dive into a hot bath, use a deep conditioning treatment on your hair, and paint your fingernails a bright color to banish the rainy day blues. Feeling refreshed usually helps most of us to feel a lot happier.
Have a movie day
No one says you have to spend the day racing around when it’s raining. Sometimes, these wet days can be the chance we needed to rewatch our favorite movie franchise or catch up on all the latest blockbusters we have been meaning to watch for so long. If you want to make your movie day even cozier, then why not build yourself a film fort out of pillows to perk up? You may never want to leave and soon forget all about the rain outside.
Meal prep
Most of us have seen the social media posts by now. It seems as though just about everyone is meal prepping, and there could be a good reason. Not only can you save yourself plenty of time throughout the week, but you could also save a ton of money in the long run. If you have never meal prepped before then there are plenty of ideas online that should help to give you the inspiration to get started.
Just because it’s gray outside doesn’t mean we have to feel it on the inside, right? No. Beating the rainy day blues can give us a chance to catch up on all those forgotten jobs, or even try something new. The choice is all us as we hunker down until the wet passes.
