I love baking chocolate chip cookies in the colder months…there is nothing like a warm cookie straight out of the oven.
4. Journal
Did you know that journaling can reduce stress and anxiety? I’ve recently started journaling more often, and it is a total game-changer. Journaling has helped me get my thoughts and feelings out of my head and understand them better. A rainy day at home is the perfect time to journal.
5. Take a warm bath or shower
Relax by taking a warm bath or shower. You could add a bath bomb and listen to music to make it more fun.
