First, find a place that no one bothers you. It can be either indoors or outdoors, and if you can’t find one, close your eyes and calm yourself down.

Second, start your imagination. Listen to the rhythm of raindrops, do you hear them chatting? Look at the puddles and ripples, and you’ll notice, raindrops like to dance. Expose your hands to the rain, and feel the cool liquid covering every wrinkle. Accept anything that came to your mind, even those that are terrible. All your stress, your fears and your sadness, the rain with wash and clean it for you. They all flow away as the raindrops drop.
Third and lastly, make yourself the rain. To enjoy and understand a thing, the best way is to become it. After you use your five senses and imagine, you already feel the rain. Now try to think that you are falling with the rain, sliding down the ceiling, flow into the ditch, through a river and finally to the ocean. In the azure ocean, lots of raindrops gathered together and play. You’ve complete an adventure in a rainy day!
Who says rainy days are boring? You can still go out and play, and to an even further place. …do you hear it? Hear the rain ticking? Now it’s your turn to calm down, open your senses, imagine and enjoy! See, it’s easy to enjoy the rain!
