Self-Care Ideas To Do On A Rainy Day

It’s raining again! If you are feeling down, it’s not your imagination. Bad weather can have a negative effect on our emotions. As you are being stuck inside your home on a rainy day, it is natural to feel somewhat down, lazy and glum. Without socialization, Sun, and exercise you can feel a bit lonelier, which can only feed the bad-mood cycle. But it is not all bad. This could also be the time to look inwards, take care of yourself and spend some ‘me’ time. These are some self-care ideas to do on a rainy day. Enjoy!

  • Take a bath. A bath is a great way to relax. Fill your bath with warm water, add some bath salts or bath bombs, add some bath oils and soak for at least 30 minutes. Studies show that warm baths are not only good for relaxation and mental health, but also for cardiovascular health, and the improvement of blood sugar levels.
  • Look at old photos. Seeing your family and friends, remembering great moments, and looking at your trips and adventures, will immediately put you into a better headspace.
  • Meditate. The main purpose of meditation is to achieve a sense of calm, peace, and balance, that can result in emotional well-being and improved overall health. Meditation is a practice in which a person uses a particular technique such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought or activity, to train attention and awareness, to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state.
  • Read a book. One of the best ways to deal with everyday stress is to escape into another world. Books give you that opportunity. Depending on what of your books you like, by reading you can immerse yourself in new adventures or perhaps get some life-changing advice. Either way, reading is a great way to relax. 
  • Watch a movie. Watching your favourite rom-com is a great way to get into a better mood. So, make popcorn, sit on your favourite sofa, and enjoy the movie.

  • Have an at-home spa day. Besides taking a warm bath, you can make organic homemade face masks and organic homemade hair masks. These chemical-free masks will not only make your hair and skin glow but will improve your health and well-being.
  • Journal. Write down three to five things for which you feel grateful. Think about all the good people, experiences, and things in your life instead of taking them for granted. The things you write can be of very small or relatively large importance. The goal of journaling is to remember a good experience, good people, or all good things in your life. It will improve your mood immediately.
  • Make your favourite comfort food. This can be anything you like, anything at all, even if it is not healthy. It’s ok to give yourself a break and have a ‘cheat’ meal. So, make your favourite meal and eat it guilt-free.
  • Declutter your home. According to Feng Shui, constant bumping into things, and seeing messy desks or unorganised wardrobes can have a negative effect on your mood. Use this rainy day to declutter your space and feel the energy flow.
