Paint and Sip

Grab a bottle of your favorite wine or non-alcoholic beverage and some painting supplies and enjoy a paint and sip day with friends or family. This is a great way to get your creative energies flowing on a slow, rainy day, and the soothing sound of the rain will only make the activity more relaxing.

Read a Good Book

Curl up with a good book on the couch, and catch up on some heavy reading. Reading is a relaxing activity, calms your mind, and will transport you into another world.

Cook or Bake

Try a fun and exciting new recipe that you have been meaning to try. Look up TikTok or Instagram recipes, whip out your apron, and get cooking. The world of cooking is vast and perfect for creative exploration on a rainy, bitter day.

Self-Care

Engage in self-care activities such as doing your nails, putting on a face mask, or taking a bath. Self-care or mental health days are very important and integral toward preventing burnout in your busy life. Rainy days are a perfect excuse to use them!

A Long Bath

Nothing beats 20-30 minutes in a hot bath after a long day or week. Fill it up with all the little luxuries you want such as bath salts and bubbles, because you deserve it!

A Coffee Out

If you’re always hesitating to grab that fancy coffee because you can’t justify its price, it’s time to splurge and enjoy it once in a while.

Meditation

The alone time you can spend in silence is a true luxury, so look at it at the ultimate reward.

Go Outside

Instead of eating lunch while answering emails, allow yourself a real break and go outside.

Read a Book

We know, there are many things you could be doing instead, but reading a good book will remind you what relaxation looks like.

Buy Flowers

Who says you can’t buy flowers for yourself? A bouquet on your table will make you smile for days. Bonus tip: let delivery bring flowers to your office and feel special for a day.

Go to Bed Early

And actually sleep instead of browsing social media. You’ll feel like a new person in the morning.

Holiday depression is a thing and if you suffer from it, you need tools to cope with it. Do you feel like you’ve just “had enough” and don’t know how to deal with that feeling? Try these simple tips.

Turn Off Social Media

It’s well-known that social media trigger anxiety so it might be best to turn it off if you’re feeling extra sensitive. You won’t really benefit from seeing highlights from other people’s lives.

Take Yourself Out for a Coffee

The weather probably isn’t tempting you to go out, but do it anyway – by yourself. Stop by a newsstand and pick up your favorite magazine, then visit a cozy coffee shop that you definitely don’t go to as often as you should.

Cook

Cook a meal for those you love or cook for yourself. If you can bake, even better! Kneading the dough and chopping vegetables can be really therapeutic.

When you’ve had enough of the real world, the best thing you can do is escape by reading a great book.

Granola Bar

You start your day slowly and can’t be bothered to make something delicious and portable, so you grab a granola bar to eat during your commute. Instead, start setting your alarm 5 minutes earlier than normal. Although it sounds counterintuitive, waking up at a different time in your sleep cycle will actually make you less tired and more willing to have a nutritious breakfast.

Overnight Oats

You meticulously meal prep and already know exactly what you’ll be dealing with tomorrow. Although you’re very efficient and health-conscious, don’t forget to let your hair down and accept that sometimes plans change.

Coffee

You are not a human until you ingest several cups of coffee, and food doesn’t even cross your mind until several hours into the day. Your busy schedule is probably not allowing you all the sleep you need, so take care of yourself and try to go to bed early tonight. Plus, keep a banana or another piece of fruit with you in your bag because coffee is not enough for breakfast.

Self-Care Monday

When you come home from work, indulge in your favorite beverage and relax for a little. In the evening, plan the rest of your week. Don’t forget to plan at least one thing that makes you happy for each day. Go to bed earlier.

Gastro Tuesday

Since you went to bed earlier last night, get up earlier and use those extra few hours to meal prep for the rest of the week. Prepare enough rice, pasta, vegetables, and sauces to get you through the next several days. Keep them in the fridge or freeze them.

Short Break Wednesday

You’ve prepped your meals and now you have something to take to work. This means that you can use your break to go outside for a short walk. Don’t forget to drink a glass of water every hour or so and stretch a little.

Sweet Thursday

Food is an essential part of every self-care routine. On Thursday, allow yourself a piece of dark chocolate along with your favorite coffee or tea.

Hometainment Friday

A good book, a movie with your loved one, or a dinner party with close friends are all great ways to spend Friday night at home and have a great time.

Active Saturday

While it’s tempting to stay in bed until noon and spend the rest of the day watching movies, you’ll feel much better if you go for a walk or a run.

Sunday Meditation

To get ready for the next work week, learn how to use meditation as a way of releasing stress and achieving the state of calmness. Everything will be much easier.

But there’s still time to do something meaningful and feel accomplished before this year ends. Here are three goals you can still reach even if you start now.

Self-Care

A month or so is enough to start noticing the effects of proper care. Take time this winter to slow down and focus on self-care, both from the inside and the outside. Change up your skincare routine, stop putting off going to the gym, and choose to eat better food, at least by the end of December. It will be much easier to continue with the good habits then.

Mini Vacation

Don’t fall into the trap of traveling for the holidays if you don’t have to! Instead, pick a weekend between now and Christmas and go explore some nearby place you always wanted to visit.

Home and Life Detox

There’s really no better time for decluttering your life than now. Start with all the unnecessary items in your home and then move on to your social media accounts. By removing everything that’s smothering you you’ll enter the new year with a clear mind and ready for fresh beginnings.
