“You're never alone when you're reading a book.” – Susan Wiggs
Wondering how to purge away the cloudiness from your day when it’s raining outside?
If truth be told, there are so many ways to do away with the moodiness that is sometimes created by a little drizzle. Grabbing a riveting book, watching a romantic movie alongside your intimate partner, and listening to great tunes are scientifically proven methods for breaking the bad vibes, so to say.
What stands behind the melancholy mind anyway?
And since we’re talking about amazing reads, here’s a bunch of awe-inspiring psychological facts that can wonderfully explain the melancholic feelings we all experience on a rainy day. Tip: next time you feel down, at least you’d know what lies behind it so that to be able to exterminate the lowness.
Perhaps you’ve also noticed that your mood is somewhat dependent on the weather, right? No great science here. However, does it really happen or is it just our imagination playing us around again? Science has its opinion on this matter as well. That heavy rain can authentically throw a negative reflection upon our smiley faces and sun-kissed cheeks; and surely, there’s no need to prove all of this with a heavy piece of scientific research when it’s clear as a whistle that the lack of sun rays leads to massive downfalls into our serotonin levels.
The effect of this is sheer low-spiritedness, annoyance as well as exasperation. So, what can we do about it? How can we deal with the downheartedness during rainfalls? What about the mood swings, physical lethargy and extreme sadness falling hard on you on a rainy day? Can we “treat” this emotional “hole” with a good handful of compelling reads?
