“I’m so stressed.” “So busy.” “I’m overwhelmed.” All day long we’re asked, “How are you doing?” It’s not really that the other person wants to know. It’s a greeting—a polite way of beginning a conversation. Because this is a rote question, we typically have a rote answer. Most of the time, the answer is negative. We don’t even think about what we’re saying.
