While staying in contact with friends and loved ones is important, asking “how are you?” can seem habitual. It’s is a perfectly normal way to begin a conversation or meeting and understood as a polite way to express concern, to which “I’m fine” or “Good” are socially acceptable responses. But is “how are you?” really an honest question that solicits an honest response (especially during a pandemic)?
Next time you’re checking in, try using one of these questions instead.
🔉 Have you been sleeping ok?
🔉 How are you taking care of yourself today?
🔉 Checking in on you! I’m here if you need me.
🔉 What habit have you started or stopped recently?
🔉 How have you managed stress?
🔉 How can I support you today?
🔉 Is there anything you need to want to talk about?

How are you feeling? How many times have we been asked that question? How many times have we asked it? How many times have we given or received an authentic answer? Most say, I’m good, great, and that’s also what we expect to hear in return. What if we really tuned in and named our “true emotion?”
When you can understand and name your emotions, something magical happens. The mere fact of acknowledgment creates the ability to shift. When we don’t have the words for our feelings, we’re not just lacking descriptive flourish. We’re lacking authorship of our own lives….taken from Permission to Feel from Dr. Mark Brackett.
Not saying you have to really have to share your true emotions, but it is important to really explore in any given time, especially when you are struggling, what emotion you are truly experiencing?
How are you feeling today?
If you are having troubles identifying your true emotions or have someone you care about that may need some assistance, please feel free to pass on my #, (414) 881-7401, or my web page. www.alwaysabetteryou.com
Being in a time of the unknown, how are you feeling right now? Deeper yet, why do you feel that way? To be able to label and understand one’s emotions is crucial in moving past them. The book Permission To Feel by Marc Brackett, Ph.D. is an excellent resource.
