What to do on bad weather days?

[SayWhat]

On days were you can't go outside due to horrible weather, what do you guys do?

I go to the gym 3 times a week and work a lot but sometimes when on off days and I don't have to work or have anything to do, I just get bored and find myself in front of my laptop all day. I don't watch shows, but am busy with my music collection or read some books (on the screen).

What else can I do? I find being in front of my laptop all day brings me down and I don't know what else I can do. Normally when it's decent enough weather, I work outside in the garden, but now...

Do you have a garage? I hang out in my garage a lot in rainy weather. I work on my bikes, do projects, etc. I also work around the house - touch up painting, doing small improvements. And I play guitar. What are your hobbies?

That being said, get some decent weather gear and go for a run or bike ride in the rain. Totally resets my mood and day.

Watch movies. Call friends to have some fun inside the house

Meditation.

The only weather I'd refrain from going out is snow. Luckily don't get too much of that where I am at the moment. If its really cold I wrap up to keep warm and when its rainy I carry an umbrella. If you are an outdoors person you pretty much take in your stride but as an overall do prefer summers to winters.

My greenhouse is nice and warm on a cold, sunny, early spring day.

Meditation.

Are you serious? I don't mean this in a bad way, I've been looking into meditation/mindfulness too, but just can't seem to put my time into it as I guess don't believe it... Does it really work?

Our mind and ego are very results/goal oriented, meditation is sort of the opposite of that. It seems odd to think of it in terms of "working" but it is effective for me if I had to put it that way.

I would recommend reading the power of now by eckhart tolle or anything by j krishnamurti.

There is a lot of overlap between becoming comfortable and settled with yourself and becoming comfortable and relaxed with women (and people in general).

Jurry supports western feminism. Disregard this person as a human being.
