How Are You? No, Really.
The Archangels Tell Us to Improve Our Lives
We ask people and get asked all the time how we’re doing, and we have a few standard answers we use without thinking. “I’m good,” “Fine, how about you?” “Good, good.” It’s an automatic, I’m-on-autopilot response. But, how often do we ask ourselves how we are doing? Are we on autopilot through times in our lives? Do we even know how we are doing, or are we too afraid to ask? Or worse, have we accepted that our lives are meaningless, hopeless, or miserable, and there is nothing we can do about it but push on?
There have been times in my life when I’ve been on autopilot. I don’t even remember much from the entire year following my husband’s death. I’m doing pretty good these days, but I try to remember to do a self-check, preferable daily, so I don’t wake up one day and wonder when my life became so disappointing. I asked the Archangels for some advice on how we can make our lives happier, and their response follows.
Question: So many people are burnt out and tired most, if not all, of the time. How can we get out of that exhaustion mindset?
Answer:
When someone asks you how you are doing, do you answer with “good” or “fine” without thought…
