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.

Master Your Thoughts, Master Your Life

 

 

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “I’m not good enough,” or “I’ll never get that promotion”? It’s easy to let those negative thoughts take control, but have you ever stopped to wonder where they come from? These limiting beliefs can hold us back, but the good news is we have the power to change them.

We’ll explore how to become more aware of the thoughts that shape our lives. Awareness is your superpower, and it all starts with recognising the beliefs that limit you. Whether it’s telling yourself you’re not capable, or that success isn’t meant for you, these are just stories we’ve been telling ourselves—and they’re not true.

In this episode, I will share:

  • How to identify and overcome limiting beliefs

  • Simple steps to shift your mindset

  • Practical techniques to build empowering thoughts and boost confidence 

Join us as we dive into a simple framework to shift those thoughts. You’ll learn how to pause, breathe, and replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones. It’s time to align with new, positive thoughts and start writing a new narrative—one where you recognise your potential and believe you deserve success.

Ready to break free from the mental blocks holding you back? Tune in and take the first step toward mastering your thoughts, and ultimately, mastering your life.
