JOMO: Why letting go of the fear of missing out will set you free

Experts tell us why the concept of JOMO or the joy of missing out is necessary in the modern age where we are constantly bombarded with the highlight reels of other people's lives...


 The fear of missing out or FOMO is a feeling that we can all relate with constantly in our lives. When we think there are experiences, opportunities, and events that can make our lives better, we naturally want to be a part of them. However, when envy creeps in, things can take a turn for the worse. As we look at the highlight reels of other people’s lives on social media or overhear the achievements of others, we feel disappointed in not being able to attain the same level of happiness and fulfillment in our lives. 

This is where embracing JOMO or the joy of missing out can help. “Embracing JOMO (the Joy of Missing Out) can improve well-being by encouraging self-awareness, emotional control, and contentment,” according to Dr Chandni Tugnait, psychotherapist and founder, Gateway of Healing.
