Naming how we feel is good for us on so many levels. Here are some tips for building your emotion-naming muscles.
It happens every time we say hello. In person, in text, on the phone. Someone asks us how we’re doing. It’s politeness. It’s a social convention. And it’s a way to find out how we’re all doing and connect with each other.
But, more often than not, do you find yourself answering, automatically, with “fine, thanks?” You are not alone. Most of us do. But maybe, just maybe, if we said more than just “I’m fine,” we would connect a little more, and have more meaningful connections.
In fact, when we slow down and figure out what we’re really feeling, it can help us actually feel better and can improve the way we communicate with and relate to others. Knowing and saying what we really feel can improve our relationships.
So, what could you say instead of just I’m fine?
The COVID-19 pandemic is new and unexpected. This situation can be unsettling and can cause a sense of loss of control. It is normal for people and communities to feel sad, stressed, confused, scared or worried. People may react in different ways.
In response to the recent COVD-19 pandemic and requests we have received from several members around the world, ACSM and EIMC leaders put together a Prescription for Health on Staying Active During the Coronavirus Pandemic. This prescription is not geared to any one group of individuals, but may provide guidance to all individuals during this challenging time.

Kinesiology tape has been a popular topic lately and there is a lot of information but looking at the clinical studies and evaluating if using this tool is appropriate for you and your clients is important. I took a course back in 2011 and I like having tape as tool I can use to help my clients. I consistently use the tape for common things like posture resetting and alignment, stabilizing knees, and for different pain issues.
