Discover JOMO—Joy of Missing Out

The fear of missing out, also referred to as FOMO, is anxiety caused by the perception that others have more exciting lives. Social media paints this perception, but there’s a flip side called “JOMO”—the joy of missing out. JOMO is a conscious reaction to feeling controlled by social media. If you’re looking to reclaim your time, consider turning off social media to focus on your mental health.
When FOMO strikes:
  1. Recognize it
  2. Stop scrolling and take a break
  3. Focus on the positive in your life and be thankful
Consider taking a “technology-free” trip to the store or an outing to enjoy the present moment.
