Yoga
Yoga is a Hindu
discipline rooted in the science of the body and mind. It is a widely
practiced discipline that allows you to relax your body and mind while at the
same time control your bodily functions. The poses in yoga disciplines
are paired with breath control and simple meditation that allows you to train
your body and your mind. Yoga can be practiced with a group or
individually. It can be learned through books or through an instructor.
If you've decided to stay in instead of going to a local yoga class,
there are plenty of videos on the internet that will help you out with the
basics of the ancient spiritual science.
Create!
If you're one of
those creative types that enjoy the Arts, why not take the time during the
rainy season to enhance your talent? Rainy days are perfect for you to
colour, draw, or paint your heart away. The rainy season is also an
opportunity for you to learn a new skill or medium. You can even try
learning a new instrument. If you're a musical person, then rainy days
can be the perfect opportunity to get your musician friends together and just
hang out and jam. Chances are a song or a melody will spring up that will
inspire you to write songs or sing out.

Clean
Regular days when the
sun is out can take your mind off the piling dust in your room. There are
days or weeks that the opportunity for you to go out and spend the day out of
your home is just too enticing to pass up. Take the opportunity for
staying indoors to clean out your closet, fix your room, or do some decorating.
A healthy and clean home will surely leave you feeling accomplished and satisfied.
Cook
Do you have one of
those recipes you saw online that you've been wanting to try? Rainy days
are the perfect opportunity for you to hone your cooking skills. Try a
new pasta recipe, bake a cake, or make something for your family. Rainy days
spent indoors mean you have more time to concentrate on your task, surely
making your dish much more tantalizing.

Relax
Rainy days are bed
weather. While you can do a lot of productive things when the rains come,
it also presents you with the perfect timing for you to chill out and lounge
around the house. Relax, read a book, or watch movies. De-stress
yourself by taking a luxurious spa day. You can also spend a little more
time soaking in the tub. Maybe you would want to relax by watching a
bunch of movies or catch up on the latest season of your favourite series.
The goal is to relax and remove your stress and you can accomplish that
by doing practically nothing during rainy days.
There are plenty of
ways for you to keep a healthy lifestyle. A rainy day shouldn't stop you
from accomplishing something or learning a new skill. Medicine for cough
and cold are staple items for your home especially during the rainy season.
But don't let a little rain dampen your spirits. Try something new,
accomplish a task, or relax. Rainy days can still end productively.
