We have all experienced the fear of missing out (FOMO) at some point in our lives. The idea that we are not doing enough, busy enough and missing out on anything in life has plagued our society and resulted in anxiety. The antidote for FOMO is JOMO (the joy of missing out). We discuss three steps to adopt the joy-of-missing out mindset.
