Episode Tapping for the fear of missing out (FOMO) (Pod #680)

0:00 18:47

The "fear of missing out" (FOMO) isn't just some clever internet meme.

FOMO is a real issue and it impacts most of us.

Because of the internet and social media, we are constantly aware of what is going on everywhere. This creates a number of problems.

First, it creates a sense of compare-anoia where we are judging ourselves against everyone else.

Then, after we feel bad for not having what others have, we try to fill the gap in our own lives. Unfortunately, time is a zero-sum-game and means that if you are doing one thing, you can't be doing anything else.

This leads us to adding so many things to our lives that we are stretched too thin, overwhelmed, and aren't enjoying anything we are doing.

This week in the podcast, I share a simple framework to help you to tap for FOMO in a way that makes you feel better in the moment and prevents it from showing up in the future.
