FOMO vs JOMO

FOMO or JOMO?

• social media addiction 
• be obsessed with posting shots all the time
• give up scrolling, texting and the swiping every spare second
• lounging on the sofa with a movie and a bowl of popcorn
• a brief digital detox
• shut yourself off from social media and any virtual connection to the world 
• log into work emails outside of working hours to check that you haven’t missed anything momentous while we’ve been away
• mindfulness, self-care and self-awareness 
• spend valuable time attending optional meetings “just in case” something relevant comes up
• compulsively check your social media channels to ensure that you’re keeping abreast of all happenings
• compare your own life to the lives of others
• accept and embrace the present moment, regardless of what else you could be doing
• stress, anxiety and even depression
• spend a Saturday night reading a book or binge-watching your favourite television series
• lose yourself in the midst of a maelstrom of digital notifications.
• turn attention to your own well-being
• take the time to do the things that make you happy without judgement or comparison.
