FOMO Detox for Mums: Meet JOMO - The Joy for Your Nervous System

What if saying 'no' is not selfish but deeply supportive for your nervous system? This episode explores how the joy of missing out, or JOMO, helps you move from constant rush to calm awareness. You will learn how your body shifts from go mode to rest mode, why boundaries are an act of self-care and how choosing quiet moments can actually restore your energy and connection.

📋 What we covered:

• Welcome back and a breath together before diving into JOMO and the body’s craving for calm.
• A look back at Episode 012 and how FOMO activates the stress response.
• The winter school holidays story, slowing down with colds, Lego and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
• Discovering JOMO through real rest, laughter and connection without comparison.
• The origins of JOMO, coined by Anil Dash and expanded by author Christina Crook.
• Understanding how FOMO lives in your sympathetic “go mode” and how JOMO restores the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response.
• Boundaries as white space, saying no as a signal of safety and self-trust.
• The link between JOMO and the self-care pillar of the HNSF Method and how your body thanks you for slowing down.
• The weekly JOMO Journal Prompt and Joyful Boundaries Checklist to help you practise calm choices without guilt.
• A preview of next week’s integration episode, all about saying 'yes' with intention.

🌟 Key takeaways:

• JOMO is an intentional choice that helps your body exhale and your mind slow down.
• Every time you choose rest, you tell your nervous system that peace is safe.
• Boundaries are invitations to deeper connection.
• Calm is found in doing what matters most.
• Your body already knows what it needs, you simply have to pause long enough to listen.
