Listen to One Little Soldier by Regina Spektor.
Part of the soundtrack for Bombshell, this song is a challenge to male power in the workplace. The clever lyrics question the role of powerful women in male dominated industries and being willing to stand up for themselves. It also touches on elements of the #MeToo movement that the movie is based on.

Drink tea.
Make yourself a hot cup of tea and just enjoy being indoors. If you’re sick, this might help make you feel better and hopefully clears your head a little. Even if you’re perfectly healthy, it’s nice to have something warm in your hands during these rainy days. If tea isn’t your thing, coffee or any other hot drink works too!
