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.

Why Success Alone Isn’t Enough And How to Find True Fulfillment with Skye Swift 

 

 

What if the life that looked successful on paper still left you feeling empty?

In this powerful conversation, Skye Swift shares her transformation from pharmacist and award-winning business owner to a life built on true fulfillment, self-love, and inner freedom. After years of chasing the next milestone, Skye realised that happiness isn’t a finish line, it’s an inside job.

We explore how subtle signs of dissatisfaction show up, why so many of us live on autopilot, and how to begin shifting from external achievement to inner alignment. Skye breaks down accessible practices for subconscious reprogramming, including whole-brain postures, better-feeling thoughts, and Ho‘oponopono—and explains how insights from quantum science and neuroscience (Dr Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, Psych-K) helped her transform from the inside out.

If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be more to life than eat, sleep, work, repeat,” this episode will give you a compassionate roadmap: recognise the patterns, choose the next brave step, and create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

Listen to remember: you don’t have to wait 20 years to change. Tune in to this episode and you can start today, with the next right step toward the life you actually want.
