We are so spoiled by sunny weather 99% of the time in California, that when we have a day of clouds, we take it as a sign to do NOTHING. However when a couple of those days string together in a row, this becomes mundane. Making this list as a reminder of fun activities I can do when the skies are dark and waves are weak:
- Watercolor paint (look to Pinterest for inspiration)
- Go to a bookstore and read
- Doodle on Procreate on my iPad (use pictures for inspiration, or practice mandalas)
- Explore and practice photography
- Cook a new recipe (this is a fulfilling form of self care—I know it doesn’t feel that way when you get out of the habit)
- Go on a walk (enjoy the silence, call a friend/family member, listen to a podcast)
- Take care of my plants (repot them, look into how to restore those that are sad)
- Learn how to sew (I’ve wanted to do this forever! I could salvage so many pieces of clothing with this skill)
