The active and quick life that moves rapidly demands us to be ambitious making us follow trends, be in touch with the latest happenings, and become conscious about things, circumstances making us anxious and at the same time super busy too.
As a result, we get blown out with the fear of missing out (FOMO) on things in our life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



Ill effects of FOMO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>FOMO leads to irritation, mood swings, feeling of not being able to handle things, and stress and thus affects our mental well-being.
Having said that, to make ourselves strong we need to face the FOMO and tackle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Wherever there is a problem, there surely lies a solution<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How to deal with FOMO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n



1) Adjust the angle of the lenses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When images seem to be blurred, we adjust the lenses of the camera to make it clear. Similarly, we need to adjust our focus from seeing what we have missed to what we have in life. This transforms our dissatisfaction into satisfaction and brings us to a neutral state of mind<\/strong>.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Enjoy the present moment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Life is too short to worry about past events we missed as the main purpose of life is to be joyful and happy. The present moment brings Awareness of the little wonders <\/strong>of nature and people and experiences goodness in each moment of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


3) Detox from always being occupied<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>Having a self date and freeing oneself from the calendar clashes, appointments, and meetings sets our mind to enjoy our own company while learning to embrace and find solace within. This brings out the innovation, creativity, and exploration<\/strong> of self and sets us free from the stress of FOMO.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


4)Value the time in hand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Minutes turn into hours scrolling through messages, social media posts, and Instagram reels, and then the time in hand slips from our grip. Nothing shall miss out. In fact, more opportunities and avenues open up<\/strong> when we value the most precious gem of our life- time.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


5) Prioritise things and events <\/h3>\n\n\n\n


The choice is always with us to pick what we want. The tiredness and fatigue from missing out on occasions can be eased by scheduling our work, taking breaks, and prioritizing events. This lowers the burden in mind and makes us more efficient <\/strong>while focusing and taking full ownership of our choices.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n


6) Build the mind set of JOMO <\/h3>\n\n\n\n


Joy in the little moments of life, joy with self, and joy with the things that we have is the real pleasure and peace of life. Practicing JOMO mindfully brings contentment, gratitude, and appreciation <\/strong>to us.
JOMO is fun and eliminates the fear of missing out ( FOMO) while embracing the bigger picture of our lives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
