There are so many times we are performing instead of showing what’s really going on in us.
One was to recognize it is when we say we’re “fine” when we aren’t.
Here’s an acronym for fine:
F-eelings
I-nside
N-ot
E-xpressed
Whenever we say we’re fine, it can be helpful to check on ourselves, or our spouse, or our kids, if there are some feelings that need to be expressed.
