Summer Encore: On this episode we’ll learn how to use the acronym RAIN to manage our difficult, stormy emotions. Then we’ll make our own rainstorm, before finally finding our own rainbow.
This episode features a process for regulating emotions using the acronym “RAIN,” which I’ve summarized below.
R – Recognize the feeling and give it a name.
A – Allow yourself to feel the feeling.
I – Investigate the feeling with kindness.
N – Not me – because the feeling is not who you are. Feelings come and go but you’re always you.
I did not create the RAIN acronym. It is commonly used in practices of mindfulness as a way to regulate difficult emotions. I adapted the acronym to make the N easier to understand for kids – other versions of the acronym usually use “Non-identification,” “Not-identify,” or occasionally “Natural awareness.” They all mean the same thing. If you encounter the acronym elsewhere, you may sometimes see the A as “Accept” or “Acknowledge.” Again these are essentially the same, but I chose the word I thought best for kids to grasp. If you want to learn more about the RAIN method, you might want to start here or here.
