There’s something romantic about the monsoon the earthy smell after rain, chai in hand, soft music playing, cozy blankets. But sometimes, even in all this calm, you don’t feel at peace.
Instead of feeling refreshed, you might feel... off. A little more tired. A little more irritable. A little more anxious without knowing why. And if you’ve been feeling this way lately, please know this: you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone.
What you're experiencing is something called the monsoon blues, and it’s a very real, very common response to seasonal changes especially during the rainy months.
☁️ So, Why Does Monsoon Mess With Our Mood?
Monsoons may bring relief from the heat, but they also bring long stretches of grey skies, low sunlight, and a break in our routines. And all of this starts to affect our mind, body, and mood.
Here’s what’s really going on behind the scenes:
-
Less Sunlight = Less Serotonin
Serotonin is the “feel-good” hormone that helps us stay calm and content. When it drops, so does our mood. -
Vitamin D Takes a Hit
Fewer hours of sunlight mean our bodies can’t produce enough vitamin D and low levels are strongly linked to anxiety, fatigue, and mood swings. -
Cortisol (Stress) Levels Go Up
The rain slows everything down commutes get harder, plans get cancelled, routines fall apart all of which increases stress and restlessness.
💬 "I Just Don’t Feel Like Myself..."
If you’ve been waking up feeling heavy, craving more naps, zoning out, feeling unusually anxious or snapping at loved ones you're likely experiencing seasonal mood shifts.
And while it’s normal, it doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it.
🌱 How to Gently Support Your Mood This Monsoon
Here’s what helps small things that reconnect you with your body and ground your mind:
1. Create a Monsoon Routine
In this season of unpredictability, building a soft, comforting routine can help you feel in control. Light a candle in the morning. Open your windows when it rains. Journal your thoughts. Keep it simple just make it yours.
2. Move Gently, But Consistently
It doesn’t have to be a hardcore workout. Even a 15-minute yoga session, stretching, or dancing to your favorite music can shift your energy and release feel-good hormones.
3. Eat Foods That Love You Back
Warm, grounding meals like soups, khichdi, herbal teas, and seasonal fruits (like jamun, lychee, and plums) can uplift your body and mind. Avoid too much sugar and fried comfort food — they spike you up, but crash you harder.
4. Lean on Natural Support Like Calm+
There are days when you do everything right — sleep well, eat well, journal — and still feel overwhelmed. That’s when a little extra support can make a big difference.

🌧️ The Rain Will Pass, But So Will This Feeling
You don’t have to wait for the sun to come back to start feeling better. The truth is, taking care of your emotional well-being in the rainy season isn’t a luxury it’s a form of self-respect.
So go ahead light that incense, make your favorite tea, and take your Calm+ gummy.
You deserve to feel like yourself again.
