1. Have a Movie Day

One of my favorite fun things to do on a rainy day is to watch a movie. Catch up on all your favorite movies, even those that you have seen a hundred times. A rainy day is a perfect excuse to just stay in your pajamas, lounge on the couch and watch movies all day long. Keep yourself warm and cozy and enjoy the day because it won’t last forever.

2. Have a Nice Long Bubble Bath

Ordinarily, you might not have time to take a bubble bath because you work during the week and on the weekend your friends and family will want to take up your time. Sometimes you don’t have a day or even a moment to yourself, but let a rainy gloomy day be a chance to relax and take the bath you have been thinking about for a while. There is nothing wrong with wanting to relax and decompress from all the stress by yourself because the next day you have to do it all over again - put up with stress and not have time for a relaxing bath.

3. Bake Delicious Treats

Take this as a chance to bake your favorite delicious treats. From cookies to fudge to lemon squares, you can bake anything. Let a rainy day be the perfect chance to try out all those recipes you've been wanting to share with friends and family.

4. Exercise at Home

Your home is the perfect place to get a workout in. Working out can be fun and you‘ll feel so much better about yourself after you exercise. Working out will help you feel energized so you can look forward to the next part of the day.

5. Pamper Yourself

I mean this for both men and women. Who says men are not allowed to pamper themselves? Try home manicures and pedicures, waxing, facials, deep conditioning, and cleansing. Take this as an opportunity to pamper yourself and do what will make you feel good about yourself.

It might be dark and gloomy outside, but it’s a blessing in disguise because it gives you a chance to relax and take care of yourself in ways that you might not always get to. Have fun and enjoy the rain!
