Even if you love rain, you must agree that Bad Weather limits your choice of pleasant activities. Dancing in the rain is a wonderful experience only in the romantic movies. In real life, things are different. However, there are still some ways to have fun on a Rainy day. Here is our list of suggestions for you:

• Socialise – invite guests to your house. That will refresh you especially if you didn’t go out in the past few days, and the weather outside is still dull. Surprise your guests as you cook something unusual – a meal that you have never eaten before. Make cocktails in addition to the dish. Your guests will be thrilled. Maybe you will need to make a quick trip to the supermarket but you will have a great time at home after that!

• Arrange the files on your computer so you will be able to find anything you need easily and quickly. Create photo albums. That occupation may include scanning/digitising old pictures of yours. You may encounter a real ‘exhibits’ from your photo archives. Fun, right?

• Organise a movie marathon. Watch a movie in an unknown for you genre or pick an old favourite movie which you know by heart. You may be alone, with your beloved one, with the kids or the whole family. If there is something so great for bad weather, it is the fact that everyone is at home and you can Spend more time together.

• Buy a jigsaw puzzle with at least 1000 parts, invite a friend to come over and start. You will surely spend the whole day trying to figure which piece belongs where. Finishing this jigsaw puzzle is a real challenge and will take you a lot of time.

• You can always go to the mall and spend the whole day there. Take a friend with you and go on a shopping spree, then to the cinema. Have dinner at an Italian restaurant. In general, enjoy your leisure time while it is raining outside.

• Clean your home thoroughly – even if you use the help of professional cleaners, you will find this activity incredibly relaxing and calming. Play some nice music in the background. Arrange the clothes in your wardrobe and get rid of everything you do not need anymore. Replace your clothing in accordance with the forthcoming season. If you collect more unnecessary clothes, then donate them to an orphanage, for example.

• When it is raining outside, it is the perfect moment to plan your next vacation. Take your time to look for sites for airline tickets and hotels around the world. You can also shop online.

• Read the book that has been standing on your nightstand for weeks. You never have enough free time to end it. Complement that enjoyable experience with a cup of aromatic tea or hot chocolate.

• Meditate. Make a meditation session – choose some relaxing music, close your eyes, relax on the bed or the rug for at least 15-20 minutes. Try not to think about anything. That will help you reduce stress. If you usually perform your meditations on the floor make sure to run carpet cleaning from time to time to prevent any dust lingering in the air while you meditate.

• Write something in your journal. When it is warm and sunny outside, maybe you don’t have much time for that. Take advantage of the rainy weather now. Describe all your emotions detailed – that will definitely make you feel better!

• Go to a SPA facility – pamper yourself. Get a relaxing massage. Its benefits are numerous – it improves the quality of sleep, strengthens the immune system and, of course, reduces stress. In addition, rainy days are the perfect time for visiting the pool or the gym.

• Make your list of new life goals as well as the steps for their achievement. Make a list of books to read until the end of the year. Organise your thoughts and point them in the right direction, so you can be more productive.

• Visit the library or the museums in your town. And why not go to both of them? Take a friend or your family and go on an educational tour.

• Play board games – that kind of games is very entertaining and guarantees you a quality time spent with your family. Playing such games is a good way to keep your kids away from the TV, the computer or the mobile phone. Instead, they will direct their attention towards something more meaningful.

When you open your eyes in the morning and see that it is raining, just stay in bed sleep more. If you don’t feel like doing anything on that rainy day, then don’t do anything. Maybe that is exactly what you need – rest and solitude. Sleep is very peaceful when you are listening to the rain outside, isn`t it?
