Quick & Easy Techniques To Help Deal With Doubts

Self-doubt can strike at any time — especially when our Achilles heel gets triggered (as we explored in Episode 12). In this episode, we dive into two powerful and practical tools to help manage those moments of uncertainty: the RAIN technique and the STOP technique. These simple, effective practices can help you slow down spiraling thoughts, reconnect with your body, and re-engage your rational brain when anxiety hits.

🔸 R – Recognize what’s going on
🔸 A – Allow the experience to be there, just as it is
🔸 I – Investigate with interest and care (including how it shows up in the body)
🔸 N – Nurture with kindness

We also break down the STOP technique:

🔹 S – Stop
🔹 T – Take a breath
🔹 O – Observe what’s happening
🔹 P – Proceed with purpose

Whether your doubts come from old beliefs or recent stressors, these tools give you a way to pause, process, and pivot. They’re quick, accessible, and easy to remember — perfect for keeping in your back pocket for those tough moments.

🎧 Tune in for a calming, practical conversation full of real-life examples and gentle strategies to help you feel more grounded and confident in daily life.
