Episode Synopsis
Send us a textIn this episode, I explore a powerful mindfulness tool called RAIN, a framework that can help us address anxiety and cultivate self-compassion. We talk about how mindfulness isn’t always easy to understand or practice, but with the RAIN steps—Recognize, Allow, Investigate, and Nurture—it becomes a bit more tangible.I share how mindfulness has impacted my life and dive into the teachings of Tara Brach, who added her own twist to this concept by incorporating a focus on nurturing ourselves through radical compassion. We’ll also look at expert insights on the importance of mindfulness in managing stressors. Join me as we walk through the steps of RAIN and how this tool can help us be more present, compassionate, and resilient, especially on our Project Weight Loss journey.Quote of the week: “Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).” ~James Baraz If you enjoy the episode, please share it, rate, and subscribe to the podcast.
