How Are You Doing? (Why We Rarely Answer Honestly)

This simple question “How are you doing?” can provide us with a much-needed personal check in.  Are we honest with our answer?  Is our answer surface level or do we provide a deeper answer that builds connection?  Are there people and places that impact how we answer?  Why do we ask about “doing” instead of “being”?  We are conditioned to be performative instead of just being present in ourselves.  Beth and Nio dive into all of these reflections and remind us that fundamentally we have choice in how we answer and in how we tune into what is really going on within us.  Let’s use this question as a way to check in with ourselves personally each and every day.  Then, perhaps when we ask it of others or are asked by others we can answer with intention and vulnerability. 🎵 Joy Notes Song “Fast Car” — Fast Car by Tracy Chapman 🙏 Gratitude Rocks!
