Have you ever noticed that when it's raining outside, your mood changes? Rainy weather can come with feelings of loneliness and sadness.
Here are a few tips to boost your mood next time it's raining:
- Engage in indoor activities like reading or cooking. This distracts you from the gloomy weather and provides a sense of accomplishment, releasing dopamine and improving your mood.
- Connect with others. Call / text friends or family. Social interactions help combat feelings of loneliness that rainy days can sometimes bring.
- Wear an anxiety ring. The rhythmic movement of the ring can help release tension in your hands, which often build up during moments of anxiety. By focusing on the ring's movement and texture, it improves mindfulness and distracts you from the rain.
- Create a cozy environment. Grab the comfortable blankets and a warm tea. This will help you feel more relaxed and content.
- Watch a comedy on TV. Laughter triggers the release of neurotransmitters like serotonin, promoting positive feelings.
