Over time, some of our anxious behaviors and thoughts can actually become habits. That’s where the acronym RAIN—recognize, accept, investigate, note—can help to interrupt those cycles. We’ll practice RAIN together today. Voiced by Mel Chanté.
Takeaways:
1- Some of our anxious behaviors and thoughts—rituals, rumination, or good ol’ fashioned worrying—are actually habits that we have and repeat.
2- At some level, we engage in these habits because we get a reward from them—often an increased sense of control or temporary feeling of relief.
3- Once we identify our triggers, we can employ techniques to interrupt anxious habits and make space in our lives for happier, healthier patterns of behavior.
