FOMO, or “fear of missing out” may be a relatively new term, but is not a new concept. Characterized by worry and anxiety that an exciting and fun opportunity or event is happening elsewhere, and that you will not be a part of it, FOMO can affect the best of us. FOMO can pertain to little things in life, like missing a party, to big things, like missing the chance to travel in your 20s. Whatever you have FOMO about, here are some tips for overcoming your fear of missing out:
1. Get Off of Social Media
Social media has perpetuated FOMO because much of what is displayed online is grandiose and an airbrushed version of real life. If your FOMO is caused by looking at others’ social media accounts and wishing that their life was yours, you should take a break from the internet.
2. Figure Out What You Really Are Afraid of Missing Out On
By nailing down what you are really afraid of, you can help to rationalize your feelings towards the things you are potentially missing out on. For example, do you really care about going to the party, or are you more interested in building deep relationships and connections? Or, does travel and culture really interest you, or are you just bored with your current life? Figure out what you really love then pursue those things, not the things that everyone else are doing.
3. Slow Down and Tackle Things One at a Time
FOMO is stimulated by the desire to have multiple things at once and our culture’s obsession with multitasking. Slow down and realize that you can’t have everything at once; taking things one step at a time is a must.
