Somewhat related personal observation about muscle activity affecting the mood I'm in: keeping your face relaxed when it rains makes the negative feeling go away.
When it rains, you typically grin your face similarly to crying or being angry, causing negative emotions. When you relax your facial muscles, being out in the rain becomes less annoying.
- adriand 11y agoThis is an interesting observation and I'm looking forward to trying it. It probably fits in with another common (I would guess) experience, which is when you are so wet in the rain, that you cease trying to remain dry. That is often a freeing feeling and you can become truly joyful in the rain. Sadly, this is yet another experience ruined by smartphones - you can't relax and enjoy being wet in the rain because you're so worried about your phone getting ruined!
