What do you answer when someone asks you: how are you doing? (The infamous question we all get asked all the time right..)
Do you complain? Do you just say “good”? Do you wonder if you should focus on the good or the bad in your life? Do you feel hesitant not knowing what to really say and how deep to go? Do you just wish people stop asking you..??
We all go through this. And this question will never stop.
So what do you do?
Well, first thing is to understand the intention of the other person. Most people will just ask the “how are you” question just to get the conversation started because they don’t know any other way.
Others who truly care about how you are feeling most probably do not want a detailed step-by-step explanation of why you are feeling what you are feeling. They are just looking for a temperature check.
Either way, what you say to answer this question will actually manifest itself.
The universe is always listening. Believe it!
If you say you’re feeling terrible or how crappy of a day you are having, the universe will take that as a command and make things even crappier for you.
(and honestly the other person asking the question most probably can’t do much about your crappy day anyway so they will just say a word of sympathy and move on)
If you say wonderful or blessed or any other type of response that portrays gratitude for what you have, the universe will take that as a command also and give you more of that.
So why not just go with the second option and always speak words of gratitude? Chances are that you are better off than billions of people in this world anyway who would love to trade places with you if given a chance. So appreciate that and count your blessings 😊
