What do you do when life throws you such curveballs, it feels near impossible not to start letting your anxiety get the best of you? The R.A.I.N. Strategy (R-Recognize; A-Accept; I-Investigate; N-Nurture-or Non-Identify) is a mindfulness technique and strategy developed by Michelle McDonald to help you remind yourself that YOU are not your emotions-no matter what life situation you are experiencing in the moment. In this episode, Cristina and Francesca discuss different ways in which you can apply the R.A.I.N. technique to stressful, uncomfortable happenings in our everyday life-from screaming toddlers in the kitchen, to larger-scale, scary life events. Francesca has a relaxing "Tiny Tidy" for you to enjoy and utilize, and Cristina has a great meditation to help get you in the right space to practice this technique-anytime, anywhere....Join us!  Check out what Cristina's friend was inspired by in Episode 1, and the "Boxed Breathing" Technique in Episode 6.  Visit Francesca's website and sign up for her newsletter and find more Tiny Tidy challenges: houseandmind.com Visit Cristina's website for yoga and mediation whenever you need it: cristinacurreri.com Thank you for listening!
