Rainy days equals canceled plans. But what if you had alternative plans for the day? So instead of sitting with that feeling of boredom, you actually have fun even thogh it’s pouring cats and dogs outside.

Here are 5 ways to get the best of a rainy day. You can even try doing 2 or more of the itmes on this list for maximum effect;

• Have a movie day: Rainy days are the best days to watch a movie. Mainly because movies just hit differently when you are laying under layers. On a day you can’t go out because it’s raining well, that;s the perfect day to catch up on any series you’ve been missing out on or an anime that just came out. Whatever it is, you’re going to be staring at a screen.  

• Work on your hobby : I love hobbies and I encourage everyone to have one. If your hobby is something like knitting then you can do this alongside watching a movie but for others your hobby may require intense focus so think of it as a time to perfect your craft. If your hobby and your passion align then that’s even better.

• Experiment with different snack recipes : This for my cooking lovers which unfortunately I am not but I will definitely recommend it on this list. Because nothing makes a staycation better than having a bunch of snacks. If you’ve had that recipe saved in your archives for a while now is time to pull out your apron and get to baking or cooking.

• Read a book: This is my favourite because I love reading books but I don’t have the time on my hands to read as often as I would like which sometimes makes me a bit sad. There are days when I just think of how much fun I would be having if I was reading a book but I can’t do that because I have responsibilities and things to take care of. Throw the word ambition, goals and passion around enough and that’s what it takes to make me close a book and get back to work. Although I mostly work from home, a rainy day is the perfect day for a romance novel.

• Sleep: Everything is always in bed on a rainy day. I’m being 100% serious when I say it’s only God’s strongest soldiers that don’t fall asleep or have the urge to fall asleep on a rainy day. Because the weather is just right, everything is begging you to get in bed and cuddle with your pillow in my case and have a great sleep. When you wake up from that kind of sleep, your skin is clearer and everything just feels better.

Have you ever slept so well that when you wake up your muscles ache? That’s the power of sleep on a rainy day.

Closing Remarks

Rainy days can be both a pain and just what you need depending on what you do. For me, I rea a book, work on my hobby thankfully for me is in line with my passion and then I watch a movie/anime/ animation and Fall Asleep.

What do you do on rainy days?
