What Do You Really Mean When You Say, "I AM FINE"

 

Do you know that “I am fine” is the most told lie in the English language? It is usually used when someone is, in fact, not fine but they say “I am fine” because they don’t want to burden others and it’s easier to explain than what’s wrong, would you agree?

F.I.N.E is said to stand for “Feeling Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional”, and can also be “Feeling I’m Nothing to Everyone” or “Feeling Inadequate, Needing Encouragement”. Whatever your definition of FINE may be most of us would just lie and say “I am FINE”, because it’s an easy way out.

Then why do we say “I am fine” when clearly, we’re not:

  • Not sure of what you really feel
  • Pretending to be okay
  • To avoid conflicts
  • Scared to tell what you're really feeling

 

Only those who identify with these feelings can truly understand the agony behind the words “I am fine.”

The next time someone asks how you are, think about the response you’re already anticipating. What if we didn’t settle for “fine”? What if we stop, take a moment, and answer with true sincerity how I’m doing? Or better yet, tell them how you’re feeling. We could all benefit from slowing down and honestly evaluating how we are doing.

Two Toxic Dialogue Mistakes That Will Rob You of Your

Joy & Success

 

Ever felt like a big change in your life was the end of the world? I get it. Today, we will dive into a personal challenge I faced – learning I could no longer run due to weak joints. The real struggle, though, was the flood of negative thoughts that followed.

From thinking "This is a disaster" to believing "I'll never enjoy activities again," my mind was stuck in a loop of worst-case scenarios. And guess what? I've noticed this tendency to catastrophise doesn't just happen in big moments – it sneaks into everyday situations, stealing our joy.

But that's not the only toxic mistake. I also found myself blaming and thinking I must be a bad person for going through tough times. It's like taking something bad and making it worse by blaming myself.

In this episode, I open up about how these negative thought patterns can rob us of happiness and success. The good news? I share simple steps to break free from these toxic habits. Since facing my health challenge, I've run marathons and feel healthier in my 40s than ever!

If you've ever struggled with negativity or blamed yourself for something, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover practical ways to change your thinking and invite more joy and success into your life.

Let's conquer these life-draining mistakes together. Share your thoughts and let's make positive changes starting today!
