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.

How to Overcome Self-Doubt

 

Have you ever stopped to imagine a life without self-doubt? How different would your decisions be? What goals would you chase fearlessly? How might your relationships, work, and overall happiness transform? These questions dive deep into the heart of a common obstacle we all face: self-doubt.

Self-doubt isn't just a minor inconvenience; it's often the biggest barrier to our personal and professional success. How many times have you held back from trying something new because you weren't sure of the outcome? How often have you labelled yourself a failure before giving yourself a fair chance?

The truth is self-doubt can be paralysing. It holds us back from experiencing the joy, fulfilment, and freedom we deserve. But here's the thing: self-doubt only has power over us if we let it. It's a narrative we've bought into, a story we tell ourselves that limits our potential.

In this solo episode of the Boss Confidence Podcast, I'll guide you through practical strategies to overcome self-doubt and unlock your true potential. Drawing from personal experiences and insights, we'll explore the roots of self-doubt and how to uproot them for good.

From identifying negative beliefs to reframing negative thoughts and seeking support, we'll delve into actionable steps to break free from the cycle of self-doubt and step into your power.

Tune in and start your journey towards self-belief and confidence.
