All right you lot, Coach Dan here to give you some rainy day activities that’ll actually relax you instead of making the gray worse.
Number 3 – Crack a window – I don’t care what the weather man said, opening your window a crack will do wonders. Nothing like the sound of rain falling to calm the nerves. Bonus if there’s a hint of petrichor filtering in. One whiff of that fresh soil smell and your troubles will melt like the raindrops.
Number 2 – Bake something – Yeah yeah, I know you think cooking adds stress. But baking is downright therapeutic, especially when it’s wet out. Measure ingredients, stir that mixer, lose yourself in the methodical steps. Before you know it, you’ll be indulging in the rewards of your labor. Nothing a warm cookie or scone can’t soothe.
Number 1 – Throw on a movie – Fluffiest thing on this list, I know. But c’mon, who doesn’t want a cozy film marathon on a rainy day? Popcorn, blankets, maybe some hot cocoa if you’re feelin fancy. Shut out the storm and dive into a whole other world for a couple hours. I don’t care what’s playing, the distraction will work wonders.
There you have it folks – three lazy day approved activities using things already in your home. No special equipment or skills needed, just a willingness to slow your roll and enjoy the simple things. So go on, relax already! And let me know if you need any more bad weather behavior adjustments.
