74. Transforming FOMO into JOMO: Embrace the Joy of Missing Out

74. Transforming FOMO into JOMO: Embrace the Joy of Missing Out

It's the holidays, and we might be witnessing many of our friends and family doing things that we wish we were doing.

Today, I'm taking you back 15 years to a time when I shoveled driveways one relentless Canadian winter and felt intense FOMO (the fear of missing out).

While I was working in the freezing cold, my friends were enjoying a Hawaiian vacation.

I could have wallowed in feeling resentful, but instead, this experience led to a commitment to prioritize warm winter vacations and prompted a deeper reflection on FOMO.

This week on Therapy Explained, I explore how social media can amplify feelings of inadequacy and stress and how we often compare our real lives to others' curated perfected versions.

It's important to live a life that aligns with our true desires rather than societal expectations.

Instead of FOMO, I propose we embrace JOMO, the 'Joy of Missing Out.' JOMO is all about gratitude and living intentionally.

If you struggle with FOMO, you'll love this week's episode. Listen in and hear...

  • My personal experience with FOMO led me to prioritize joy
  • The reasons why we end up feeling pressured and exhausted by trying to keep up with others
  • What we're really seeing on social media
  • How to embrace a life of JOMO and do the things that truly matter
  • Practical tips for prioritizing our health and well-being by focusing on what we have

2. Burnout Series: How to Overcome Stress

Let's talk about the big fat elephant in the room - burnout. In today's society we just can't seem to outrun stress, especially in the workplace. With remote work on the rise, it can feel impossible to unplug even when it's time to clock out. It's too easy to respond to work emails after hours when you can do it right from your phone. The truth is, we weren't wired to be constantly tapped into work. That's why it's no surprise that burnout is on the rise, and The World Health Organization has even recognized job burnout as an official health diagnosis. The good news? There is a better way. Even if you can't ditch all of your stressors, you can prevent burnout by learning how to complete the stress cycle. Curious about how you can unlock the stress cycle so you can swear off burnout for good? That's exactly what I'm covering today along with… Why women experience burnout differently than men How hyper-independence sabotages our wellbeing And so much more!
