This week: FOMO
Tom discusses the fear of missing out.
Therapeutic coping strategies to help manage FOMO:
Mindfulness and Meditation: Ground yourself in the present moment.
Limit Social Media: It might be helpful to reduce the amount of time spent on social media or to take breaks from it altogether.
Gratitude Journaling: Spend a few minutes each day listing things you are grateful for.
Set Boundaries: If you're constantly being bombarded with invites or information about events,
it's okay to set boundaries.
Reality Check: Remind yourself that images and stories on social media often don't show the full picture.
Stay Connected: Spend quality time with friends and loved ones.
Self-compassion: You are enough as you are.
Prioritize and Clarify Values: Determine what is truly important to you.
Seek Professional Help: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), for example, can offer strategies to challenge and modify negative patterns of thinking and behavior.
Engage in Activities You Enjoy: Instead of focusing on what you might be missing, redirect your energy into activities you genuinely love.
Reframe Your Thoughts: Instead of thinking, "I'm missing out on X event," think, "I'm choosing to prioritize Y right now."
Limit Comparison: Remember the adage "comparison is the thief of joy."
