HI wonderful communitysmiley "How are you doing?"

This actually is my check-in with you all today. But a twist to it-a mindfulness twist that is.

Do you actually go beyond asking someone "How are you doing?" Do you mindfully prepare yourself for the other person's full answer beyond "I'm Fine" or " I am doing good." Do we prepare oyurselves for more of a full answer? Most of us don't and that is ok too.

So how can we be mindful and ready for when someone really isn't just fine?

- Truly show interest in the person

- Be patient, as if you "turn off" after they share the "I'm fine" stay there be attentive and see if the other person has more to share

- Offer them to open up if they need to or want to

So, now that we have those skills, please do share here. I am asking you........

I am here and want to "hear" what you have to say

Let us all come together as a community, and be mindful of each other here. Support others who share

Haiii! Oh my god I like this check in so much! I agree we are not always ready for answer beyond "I am doing well" and that goes against the purpose of the question! I liked the tip you mentioned!!!

Hia Rivah😆❤

I am happy to hear that you liked this check in. It is very true many of us do not go past the question. Even myself. But we can mindfully be aware of this and be patient and kind😊

@RumpleSteeleSkin thanks for this checkin. You said "Do you actually go beyond asking someone "How are you doing?" Do you mindfully prepare yourself for the other person's full answer beyond "I'm Fine" or " I am doing good." Do we prepare oyurselves for more of a full answer? Most of us don't and that is ok too."

I feel it is important to determine how much the person I am talking to really wants to hear how I am doing. If not really that much from past experience I tell them I am fine and ask how they are.

Asking how someone is is a shortcut. Better to start a conversation asking open ended questions and see for yourself in my opinion.

@soulsings

HI Souls nice seeing you here todaysmileyYes true-to be more aware of really how much that other person wants to hear. I feel then it don't set you up for dissappointment. In my past I tried the open ended questions as well as this way, just being pateint to see if the other person would like to share more or not. Both works well, but more so surprising the other person by actually responding to morte of what they shared past the "I am fine"heart

@RumpleSteeleSkin

I love this! It's amazing because how often have we asked this question and been a little taken back by the answer too? :) So we do really need to prepare for this and thank you for the reminder!

Hi Lisa good to see you todaysmileyI can see it both ways, being asked and afraid to answer fully, and then also someone really asking this and being sincere.

Thing is to be mindful of either being asked this or asking itheart
