RAIN Technique
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, it can be difficult to reclaim your thoughts. Using the acronym RAIN can be supportive in those situations. It’s a mindfulness technique to bring you back to center and ground you in the present, as well as remind you to be gentle with yourself.
R. - Recognize What is Happening: Take a moment to check in with yourself. How are you feeling? What is your mind telling you? What is your body telling you?
A. - Allow The Experience To Be As It Is: this is the opportunity to not be hard on yourself and suppress your emotions. Give yourself permission to feel the emotions without judgement.
I. - Investigate with Kindness: Investigate why you’re feeling this way. Pay attention to what areas of your body you are experiencing the emotions.
N. - Nurture Non-Identification: Remind yourself that you are not your emotions and that these feelings are temporary.
