Cheer Up on a Rainy Day

How does it help?

Rainy days can be gloomy. But since they may make you want to stay inside, rainy days are perfect for self-care rituals such as reading, taking a bath, or playing with pets. CBD can help boost serotonin levels, boosting your mood so you can appreciate rainy days and get the most out of your self-care.

How to:

1. Sit by a window. Consume some CBD as a mindfulness aid. Look outside and count all the things that make you happy, such as the sound of rain hitting the pavement, powerful lightning bolts, and the smell of the rain. There’s even a word for it—petrichor, “the smell of fresh soil after rainfall.”
2. Turn your attention to inside your home. Count what you’re thankful for, such as your family, pets, a good book, and cozy blankets to curl up in.
3. Think of rain as a metaphor. Like hard emotions and situations, it comes, and then it passes. It has beauty if you’re willing to observe. And when it’s over, you get sunshine, happy plants, and even a rainbow.
