An exercise to feel calmer right now

✅ Today’s tip: Use the “RAIN” method to get out of your own head.

Getting yourself to a place of calm is no easy task in this chaotic time. But meditation teacher Tara Brach’s RAIN technique for quieting the mind is easy enough to follow, even for people who aren’t naturally good at this sort of thing:

• Recognize what is happening.
• Allow the experience to be there, just as it is.
• Investigate with interest and care.
• Nurture with self-compassion.

The next time you’re feeling stressed, take a deep breath, close your eyes, and go through these four steps.
