I’m Not Fine, How Are You?

How are you doing today? No, like really, HOW ARE YOU? 

Normalizing conversations about our mental health is such an important step towards eliminating the stigma. 

Our mental health is just as essential as our physical health; they should not be thought of as separate and the more we are able to talk about our mental health and have these difficult conversations with others, the easier it will be to empower someone you love to open up and get the help they need.

I wanted to reshare a Blog with you today that I wrote several years ago where I talk about the true definition of I’M FINE. “I read somewhere that the average person tells 4 lies per day, 1460 per year, totaling 87,600 by the age of 60 and that “I’m Fine” is the most common lie of all.” In my Blog I create a dictionary of words from A to Z to use instead if when the next time someone asks you, how are you? and truth be told you aren’t “fine”. What words would you add to my list?

Today I’m not feeling fine so I’m finding ways to refill my cup.   

How are you refilling your cup today?
