When do we experience FOMO? The vast majority occurs when we think we missed out on something that everyone else may have experienced. The root of this is identification of oneself with a certain group or ‘herd’ and as a result, the feeling of being left out of loop.
As the 26th President of the United States stated; “Comparison is the thief of joy.”
Hence, in order to avoid such comparisons, we must meditate on the impermanence of our reality. For instance, how much will it matter in 10 years if we miss out on the things we fear missing out on now?
When we are able to view our lives from a third person perspective, we recalibrate the importance of the experiences we have throughout our lives.
NO FOMO.
