Rainy Day Activities


Rainy Day Activities: 
Rain is underrated – HHS Media

Over the past few days, it has been on and off raining, which got me thinking about things I should do. I had to change my plans around a little according to the rain so I decided to list some ideas here: 
  • Listen to music
On rainy days I like to turn on my relaxing and sometimes, more sad playlists. They match the mood outside and calm the area around you. If you need suggestions, check out my blog post on a 'Good Vibes Music Playlist'. Listen to a good playlist while watching the storm by a big window. 
  • Read
Nothing is better than curling up on a rainy day with a good book. I am currently reading The Selection series and highly recommend it! 
  • Have warm drinks
I love to prepare a warm drink for sitting and watching the storms. This could be tea, hot chocolate, or coffee! It feels great to be warm while it's chilly outside. 
  • Make a treat
While you're stuck inside, you should take advantage and make a good treat for yourself. Check out my 'Fresh Peach Cobbler Recipe' that I posted earlier today! It'll warm you right up and make your home smell amazing. 
  • Paint or be artsy
Rain tends to really create a sense of creativity within me. It's a great idea to bring out your paints or make a drawing while you wait for the storm to end. 
  • Relax
It can also be nice to except the storm and take this time to unwind and relax. Pour yourself a bubble bath, paint your nails, or just be mindful to take care of yourself. 
  • Accept the rain! 
Sometimes it's also great to do the opposite of relaxing in the rain! I went for a walk in light rain a few days ago and it was actually refreshing. Try a short walk or just standing in the water for a few minutes.  
  • Exercise indoors
If you had plans to go exercise outdoors, you can rearrange your plans to exercise inside. Today, I decided to pull out my yoga mat and enjoy my practice with the sounds of the rain coming down. It was very relaxing. 
  • Be comfy 
Lastly, on a rainy day, you should try to be comfortable. Put on a pair of pajamas, watch a movie, and have fun with the rain :)

What Is Grounding?

What Is Grounding?  Grounding, also known as earthing, is a technique that allows a person to better reconnect with the earth using electrical charges.

Here is all you need to know about grounding:  How To Ground:  Walk barefoot- walk on grass, sand, some even go hiking barefoot.  Lie on the ground- lie in the sand, on the grass, and feel your body connect to the earth.  Submerse in water- swim in the lake or in the ocean for a deep connection.  Use grounding equipment- use grounding equipment such as mats, sheets, blankets, socks, bands, and patches.

I typically wash them in the beginning so I can have them finished by the end.      3. Put clothes up Now is the time to organize your clothes between dirty and clean.

Cold shower  Image by Examined Existence via  https://examinedexistence.com/how-to-make-your-cold-showers-less-cold-and-more-bearable/ A cold shower sends impulses to the brain that create clarity, alertness, and provide energy.
