Grounding myself

For the past few weeks all I’ve been wanting to do is stand outside in the rain.. but I didn’t want my neighbors to think I was weird :sweat_smile:

I’ve read that when you crave to stand in the rain it’s the body’s way of trying to ground you and give you a sense of calm.

These past few weeks have been beyond stressful and I have felt like I’ve been stretched and pulled in every direction.

Today we had a rainstorm and I finally did it. I stood outside in the rain - in my backyard for 20 mins. 20 mins with my eyes closed letting the rain hit every part of me. 20 mins of feeling nothing but peace. I loved every minute of it!

I’m sure the neighbors are judging but I will be out back next rainstorm :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

That sounds so relaxing! I find myself craving to go out in the rain lately, but I’m afraid because of the lightening. Maybe we will have a rain without lightening soon!

My sister said the same thing :sweat_smile: I waited until we had a good rain with no lightening. I was going to go back out today but it was a light shower that lasted just a few minutes :smiling_face_with_tear:

Same! But I don’t like the rains that make the outside smell like worms - my mom says I’m crazy and she never smells it but I swear after some rainstorms it does smell like worms outside lol
