How are You.....?

Hello! How are you today? Is the first greeting we say to people when we meet them. It's mannerly and a polite thing to do. But are we prepared for the answer? I think it depends on how people are feeling in the moment and how much time they have to answer. Most people say they are okay even when they are not for whatever reason, health, worries etc. they don't want to bother people. Mental health comes into play here, so the next time you ask the question how are you today and they do answer okay, follow up by saying are you sure? At need ideas we believe that emptying your mind makes people less anxious no matter what age group you are or situation you are in. It might not solve the problem but it gets it out of your head........and that's good for your headspace.
